Bingo. First company I worked for after college was salary and my manager forced OT on shit that was his job.

Maybe a year into being there we get switched to hourly and suddenly he was on your ass to clock out. I left about a year later and shortly thereafter got a letter from the DOL that I could take legal action if I choose to. Would have cost me more to get a lawyer for what amounted to a couple grand so I didn’t bother.
