I'm seriously proud of this

Seeing this post made me flash back to how often wage theft happened to me during holidays as a teenager.
4th of July, New Year's... Didn't even know about time and a half.
Can you add some context? I don't understand. You worked half a day, are they not paying you time and a half for that half day?
If OP and coworkers normally start at 8 and finish at 5 (9 hours of work), if you assume they ordinarily make $10/hr (for the sake of an example), they all made $90 for their work on Friday. If they came in at 8am on Saturday to be sent home at 12pm, then even at time and a half, they only made $60 for their work on Saturday
Completely legal, sure, but I wouldn't want to drag my arse out of bed at 6am on Saturday to earn less than I do on a regular work day
I guess it's a matter of perspective? I personally would be happy to work half a day and get paid at a better rate than I normally would even if it was for a short period. Assuming I wasn't spending an hour commuting to work or something.
Edit: Who's the grumpy ass who's downvoting me for sharing a personal opinion? I'm not even judging OP or anything.
Not a matter of perspective. If someone offers me a day but only gives me half a day, they fucked me over. It's not just the money, but also the ability to do other things that afternoon, because they were dishonest.
