Yes, you're being taken advantage of.

Do you have any other documentation that you can lay out in terms of the 'No or I quit' discussion to support your position? Your actual time vs your paystub is one such piece of documentation. What you have layed out here needs to be placed in an orderly fashion to be justified.

If they still say 'no', then at least see about writing off your mileage and lunch stipend while you look for other work. Sounds yer workin' for a buncha shitbirds. They've probably never had anyone stand up to them before either. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />

I drive 45 miles each way to work, but I'm treated well. The VA can always use an OT, anywhere.

We don't know how you're set up with your home situation, but if'n ya ain't happy working for them, move on.

Just my plugged nickels. A good tech in a patient's eyes is worth their weight in gold.
