dialogue: #Person1#: are you working overtime again? Over the last two weeks, you have worked overtime every day without a break! Your company is draining the life out of you!
  #Person2#: I know, but I don't have a choice, my boss has complete control over our work schedules. I haven't made it out of the office before 9 PM a single day this week.
  #Person1#: Well, I hope they're paying you the big bucks for all this work. . .
  #Person2#: No, not exactly, I'm working for minimum wage. And they don't give extra pay for overtime. Overtime is our own time.
  #Person1#: What? ! Isn't there a law against that, I think there is some legislation that requires employers to give their employees a fair rate of wages. You should know your rights! If you are putting in so many hours, they should give you some kind of compensation.
  #Person2#: They do give bonuses at the end of the year for the employees with highest productivity numbers, but frankly, it's not much of an incentive. They give us a bonus of ten dollars.
  #Person1#: That's just wrong! why don't you just quit?
  #Person2#: I would, but I'm afraid I would't be able to find another job. I don't have very many job marketable skills, there aren't so many jobs that I'm qualified for.
  #Person1#: it sounds like any job will be better than the one you have now!
summary: #Person2# has worked overtime with minimum wage and little bonus. Although #Person2# are not very confident, #Person1# hopes #Person2# could quit that job and find another one.
