Toxic workplace mandates monthly 8 AM meetings on Sundays, employees search for loopholes: 'Sounds like mandatory pay for your time'

Everyone needs rest, it's a non-negotiable. You need time to sleep, absolutely. That's a given. But you also need time to rest your mind from work. You need days where nobody outside of your family asks anything of you, and you can just spend time doing things you enjoy doing. Perhaps you're into needlepoint, or perhaps you're in a flag football league. Whatever it is, you need unstructured time to feed those parts of yourself. And work isn't allowed to swoop in and take that away from you. 

They already do a good enough job with that as it is. So that's why one worker was understandably miffed when their employer instituted a recurring early meeting on the weekend. And as someone who usually worked the late shift, it totally didn't jibe with their schedule. Read on for the details and see what you would have done in that situation.
