Used to be working conditions at my last job:
1. Did not make your quota? The boss would either
a) Scream at you at the top of his lungs in his office for at least five minutes (he loved to scream, he never got hoarse).
b) Punish you by making you work in the worst section (cold store) for the rest of the day. Meaning, all your co-workers in other sections would go home hours before you. Cold store workers regularly had to work overtime because they had the most orders.
c) To match your quota he would subtract your working hours.
d) He would give you the runaround all day by sending you from one section to the other, criticizing your work, calling you into his office only to holler at you, or point out mistakes you did weeks ago (which would result in more yelling/punishment/working hours deducted), offering you to sign a notice to quit ever so often.
e) He would give you a verbal or written warning (three written warnings and you are out).
2. Overtime (up to 2-4 hours during busy season and 1-3 hours any other day).
3. Working every third Saturday.
4. Working overtime on holidays (never had stress-free Christmas holidays in all those years I worked there).
5. Denying you to leave 'on time'. If you managed to sneak out without getting caught you would be punished the next working day (see a, b, c, d, e).
They always came up with new ideas to make work unpleasant as possible. And as the boss used to tell us once or twice a month, "If you don't like the way we run things here, quit".
