I work for a major manufacturer called API. My manager lied to me about working holidays during my interview, so I got a lovely call Christmas morning demanding that I apologize and come in immediately. He did not have to work holidays. He also used to call me the second I'd get home to come back in and work a 24 hour shift, but he wasn't actually allowed to do that, so he would pretend not to hear me when I'd ask if he was asking me to work 24 hours. Their standing raise policy is like ten cents per year. We are not allowed to ask for raises. Our safety inspector works from home and I have seen them maybe twice in the past year.

Our company newspaper mostly features employees from a sister factory in the UK showing off how much more money and free time they have than us.
