'By privilege he means leaving the time my shift ends': Manager asks workers to work 9 hour shifts when max is 8, demands they come in on Saturdays

One of the most important things about a job is making sure they respect your time. It's the biggest sacrifice you make for a job, after all, is to give them your time. So you better be sure the terms and conditions of that exchange are workable for you. Ideally, you know when you're working and when you're on call. You have an idea of what time you'll be able to leave that day when you clock in in the morning. You know that when you're off duty, nobody will bother you. These are ideal conditions, but sadly not always realistic ones.

When this happens, it's unfortunately on the workers to stand up for themselves. If you feel like your time is being taken advantage of, then you have to speak up. Then it's the job of the manager to listen to those complaints and address them accordingly. But this doesn't always happen either.
