Coworker demands employee come in unpaid on his day off to check freezer temperature: 'Yea, I ain't doing that'

To work or not to work when you're not being paid? That is the million-dollar question many employees have to ask themselves daily. In my honest opinion, I think whether you can or should work off the clock depends on what kind of job you have. If you have a coffee shop MacBook gig paying a salary, checking your email on the weekend won't kill you, even if you don't plan to reply to them until Monday. But if you work at a factory and your boss wants you to come in on your day off to pull a single lever, it would be ridiculous for you to do that if you weren't at least on the clock for those 10 minutes. That is essentially what happened to one employee whose demanding coworker wanted him to come in on every single one of his days off to check the temperature of the freezer truck.
