out of you!
2-- I know, but I don't have a choice, my boss has complete control over our work schedules.I haven't made it out of the office before 9:00 PM a single day this week.
1-- Well,I hope they're paying you the big bucks for all this work...
2-- No, not exactly, I'm working for minimum wage.And they don't give extra pay for overtime. Overtime is our own time.
1-- What?! Isn't there a law against that, I think there is some legislation that requires emplyers to give their employees a fair rate of wages. You should know your rights! If you are putting in so many hours, they should give you some kind of compensation.
2-- They do give bonuses at the end of the year for the employees with highest productivity numbers, but frankly, it's not much of an incentive. They
give us a bonus of ten dollars.
1-- That's just wrong! why don't you just quit?
2-- I would, but I'm afraid I would't be able to find another job. I don't have very many job maketable skills, there aren't so many jobs that I'm qualified for.
1-- it sounds like any job will be better than the one you have now!

譯文:
1--你又加班了?在過(guò)去的兩周里,你們每天加班一點(diǎn)兒也沒(méi)休息過(guò).你們公司想累死你們啊!
2--我知道,可是我沒(méi)選擇.我的老板完全控制著我們的工作安排.我這周就沒(méi)有一天不是晚上9點(diǎn)以后下班的.
1--咳,你干了那么多工作,我希望他們會(huì)付給你一大筆勞務(wù)費(fèi)...
2--沒(méi)有,你說(shuō)的一點(diǎn)也不對(duì)...我的工資最低.而且他們也不給加班費(fèi),加班用的是我們自己的時(shí)間.
1--什么?!這不違法?我記得有些立法就要求雇主給他們的員工相當(dāng)?shù)墓べY.你應(yīng)該了解自己的權(quán)利!如果你加了那么長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的班,他們應(yīng)該給你某種補(bǔ)償.
2--年底他們確實(shí)給那些生產(chǎn)效率最高的員工發(fā)獎(jiǎng)金...不過(guò)說(shuō)實(shí)話(huà),那根本算不上什么獎(jiǎng)勵(lì).他們給我們的獎(jiǎng)金只有10美元.
1--這種做法肯定不對(duì)!那你為什么不辭職?
2--我想辭職,可是我也怕也許找不到第二份工作.我沒(méi)有太多適合推銷(xiāo)的工作技能...也沒(méi)有太多適合我干的工作.
1--聽(tīng)起來(lái)好像無(wú)論哪份工作都要比你現(xiàn)在的這個(gè)工作好多了.
