Wow, like they would force you to work just under the limit to qualify for overtime, or wouldn't pay overtime owed? Because that's straight up wage theft!
I notice businesses that try to be "savvy" by taking shortcuts and skirting labor laws tend to collapse themselves once they run out of employees that are way too good for them and won't put up with it anymore.
Glad you escaped.
The original agreement was that I'd get at least 40 hrs/wk instead of 20 (bc they'd hire another employee to avoid paying overtime) and then after a year I could get overtime. I genuinely loved that job and all the customers thought I was the owner. They just refused to come back after I quit so the shop failed. I got my regular wage for anything over 40 hrs, just no overtime, so it was still better than salary ig.
