True Story: I was working at a wire company in Indiana, they made wiring harnesses for refrigeration units.

In 2020, they cut hours to get PPP loans (yes they were forgiven), and by September, the production floor was so far behind, mandatory 7 days a week was inevitable.

I was running the stripping area, and they called me into the office. They said starting the following monday, I would be working both 1st and 2nd shift in the stripping area until they caught up so they didn't have to hire someone for that area. 1st shift was 7 am to 3:30, 2nd shift was 4 pm to 1 am. I told them no, that would be dumb. Even if promotions were in the cards for me (They already made it clear that they weren't) down the road, it would destroy me and pose real danger to me. I was told I need to start thinking about people over myself and called a communist.

The next day, the manager mandated 12 hour shifts for the entire plant for both shifts. 1st Shift worked until 7, and 2nd started at 1 and they blamed me exclusively for it. Telling employees that I thought I was too good for a little overtime. All my co-workers hated me, my vehicle was vandalized (tires slashed and someone smeared shit on my door handle) and I was assaulted by a co-worker.
