'So many red flags': Boss insists salaried employee work on his house so that he 'doesn't have to pay'

This boss is really stretching the definition of what it means to be a salaried employee.

Salaried work can be wonderful or a strain on your work life, depending on the company you work for and your managers. For some workers, they're able to put in two hours of work per day and still get paid for the entire eight. But for the majority of salaried workers, it means you're going to work 40+ hours a week. If you have a project due at the end of the day, and you're not finished by 5PM, your boss is easily able to insist you finish it ASAP. It's one of those things that's supposed to be a perk, but ends up backfiring. 

This guy's situation, though, is taking salaried expectations to the next level. This employee writes that they work for a low-voltage company, doing design, installation, and programming work. It's mainly working with CCTV or fiber optic… which is totally different from the side job the employee's boss is insisting they do.
