However, after just two weeks on the job, she said she already feels mentally and physically drained as her boss has been overloading her with tasks and extending her work hours to 13.5 hours per day—or even longer.“My tasks include stocking and organizing shelves, cleaning the store, receiving and handling inventory, assisting customers, occasionally doing cashier duties when needed, and any other tasks my employer assigns.
