Brandi Caskey at Herbalife Herbalife, Hazel Tiefen Forced to work uppaid overtime and fired when reporting it Torrance, California

I'd worked for Herbalife for more than 10 months to glowing reviews from everyone I worked with. Then, a grossly unqualified and incompetent "manager" started. She could not organize, lead, strategize, conceptualize, or spearhead the projects she was supposed to. Everything was quite the mess constantly, despite others offering to lend their project management expertise, etc. One week she demanded that I work overtime but stated she would not approve overtime pay. I was also forced to falsify my timesheet by this individual. Given the grim economy but knowing this was illegal (having had experience at another company doing this), I did the work. However, another individual with a different manager working on some of the same work was paid overtime multiple times. Within a week of bringing this to the attention of the HR department contact (Hazel Tiefen) and asking for the company's position on overtime to be clarified because of this discrepancy between two workers, I was let go for no specific reason. I was told vaguely that there were "issues with the group," yet just a couple days before I was still receiving rave reviews for my work, including from very higher-ups. Both Brandi Caskey and Hazel Tiefen are knowingly violating California state labor laws and, when caught, disposing of the witness. Beware working or applying for Herbalife, with their very undermarket wages and false promises about positions becoming permanent or having certain duties when in fact they do not. This is NOT an ethical company. They have very low standards and many "managers" are very inept at their jobs and blame their own incompetence on others. It is a place where people are routinely thrown under the bus.
