Come on man.
it’s a legit question
there is no reason to go to college at all if you end up working 60 hours per week with no time off and no benefits. no wonder he hates the system.

I'm not a wage/hour specialist, but that sounds illegal.
sounds like a perfect situation for r/personalfinance
Employers never steal overtime pay.
My dad is a salaried employee specifically so he cant get overtime. He gets moved from hourly to salaried multiple times a year depending upon the "business needs" where he works.

Probably better for r/legaladvice
Sounds dubious especially if his job responsibilities don’t change
Not illegal if he is making more than the salary minimum for exempt status and is actually doing exempt work. If one or both of those things is not the case, then, yes, illegal to not pay overtime and provide breaks, etc.
Salaried he makes the equivalent of 15/hr at 40hr/wk, so 28k or so. When he is non-exempt he makes the same rate, but only works 4 days a week, and is on call the rest of the time. The only real benefit he has when salaried is that he doesnt have to come in when he is sick - though he basically has to turn his phone off when that happens. He took 3 days off this summer and had to work 2 double shifts before he left."Business needs" isn't a legal justification for switching back and forth between exempt and non-exempt, FYI. It's about the type of duties he has.

What is the status of the doubling of the exempt base from $23K annually to $46K annually?

People have jobs for a variety of reasons. It sounds like he is making quite a difference in the world.
Could he take his degree and get a job that pays more but doesn't accomplish anything? Of course, and of course there are jobs out there that are both self-fulfilling, pay well, and also contribute to the world overall, but those are far and few between in my experience. Of course he could also take a job that he isn't passionate about that pays more and volunteer for different things, but that doesn't sound like what he wants to do either.
I quit that job a year and a half ago.doesn’t he work in a t-mobile retail location or something?
