Pressured me into enrolling and denied lunch and break times, I have proof

I started with uop in january of "06" as a temp and always gave them 110%. The individual hired just 2 weeks before me was hired shortly thereafter. I was not hired till june 16th and had been given june 1st the task of distributing and maintaining the new vpn tokens. Now it is over 3000 persons all handled by me. I was awarded the company impact award while attending a top performer conference for my hard work.

I worked through my lunchs, came in early, and stayed late with no pay. On 01/16/08 I was denied lunch, yet again, and became very upset since it was an extremely stressful time and I needed the mental break. I was told to simply just take and hour of overtime in leu of lunch. I said I didn't want to do that this time as I needed a break. But unfortunately I was told to get to work and I would not get a lunch.

Frustrated, I went inside and snapped punching a whole in the wall. I did not intend to punch a whole in the wall, it was truely and accident that I immediately owned up too. Ultimately I was fired and no one that was present was even interviewed. They broke the law denying me a lunch, one of many that I have documented, and I was pressured into enrolling in their school.

The school is a joke, the first 2 classes I took I did little or no work and still passed. My kids are enrolled in online high school and I was shocked how much harder their classes were. UOP degree's are of little value and someone needs to look into that. The classes are horribly substandard and I believe UOP's title four funding should be seriously considered. This is the worst higher education I have ever come across. I am hoping a young hungry attorney will be interested in taking on the UOP giant and I am looking for a 6 figure settlement.
