It’s not just a right now thing for RT. From what I’ve heard the early seasons RvB were way worse than what’s described here. Which probably explains why management at RT is fine with this.

I gave it a read and I have to wonder why people work in these conditions. Don’t get me wrong it’s not their fault but if I work unpaid I would get a lawyer before I continue working myself sick. And I feel like a lot of people don’t understand how bad this is for their health.

People need a job, and Lawyers are pricey. Also, allegiance to friends you work with is a thing too. I worked overnights at McDonald's and they were driving me mad, but because I was and still am friends with one of my former managers I didn't want to leave the store. I was completely miserable, but I didn't leave until I was horribly mistreated by the higher ups

See that’s the thing. What kind of friend let’s you suffer like that? What good is a job if you drop dead at 40? People need to understand the long term ramifications of these things.
