When I was starting out in the grocery business. The only way to move up was to work some "Church Time" and any Department Manager (who were all hourly workers) was implicitly expected to put in a fair amount of off the clock work or they wouldn't be a Department Manager very long. Thankfully that ended for the most part in the 1980s when the company got nailed with a big EEOC complaint and settlement. They somehow miraculously came to the conclusion in the Ivory Tower that paying fines was much more expensive than doing the right thing from the start that included the big emphasis on working off the clock. Not the brightest crayons in the box, but they eventually learned.
