If it's mandatory, you should be getting paid for it. Don't let them get away with forcing you to attend meetings while off the clock

I have a friend who was told working past hours wasn't "mandatory", but if you didn't do it, then maybe you "weren't a good fit" because "we only want team players"

Maybe it was something like that

Possibly. If that's the case, then don't speak out until you have several coworkers on your side. At the same time as the collective action, start working as an organizing committee

In the case of my friend, it took him half a year to find that job, as he (and many of the others who work there) for various reasons aren't very "employable" (language barrier in the case of my friend), which leads to noone daring to rock the boat

Something the employer clearly know and exploits...

I would have to be really desperate for a job to work a second more than 40 hours a week. I don't even care if I would get paid more in overtime. I have a family. I'd rather see them. I hardly ever saw my parents because of how much they worked.

Unless there were no other jobs available or something, I would just agree that I wasn't a good fit if that was what was expected, but I'm going to stay in the job until you fire me and I get to collect unemployment.
