Debbie Simonson worked for a Brooklyn Park Wal-Mart from April 2000 to May 2001.As the first witness, she testified she missed numerous breaks because she had too much work and no one to cover for her.Also, she was asked to work before or after she was clocked in.When asked by one of the attorneys why, when she was asked to work off the clock, she did it, Simonson said: "When your boss tells you to do something, you do it."
She had no time to eat, call her kids or use the restroom.She was a department manager.When she complained on behalf of the workers she supervised, nothing changed.Simonson finally resigned.
