Bit of a rant, couldn't find a job for a while and now I got one

But straight from the first days I started working 10-13 hours and I'm smashed, today my employer asked me if I'd stay till the clinic's closing time at 9pm despite being there since 6:40am and not like I could say no.

Years ago i worked at McDonalds they constantly tried to get me to stay over. In the beginning i did but over time i felt taken advantage of especially when i had to fight with them about my shift being over and me asking them who will take mt spot. Then they got mad at me for wanting to leave at my scheduled time! After awhile when they asked me to stay i said no and eventually they got the hint.

I'm glad I live in a country where working hours like that are simply not allowed.

Limits for overtime

The employer may decide that you shall work overtime for a period of up to:

10 hours per 7 days
25 hours per 4 consecutive weeks
200 hours per 52 weeks

Total working hours must not exceed 13 hours per 24 hours. Nor must total working hours exceed 48 hours per 7 days.

I now just work less hours but that's because I don't mind sharing rent between 4 other people and having less things and space. I'd rather have more free time from work. That's why I only work 40 hours or less. Sometimes I only average around 33 hours per week. But that's just me and what I can sacrifice.
