<prompt> Human: Im a law student. I have a job as a summer associate. Summer associate job is sometimes seen as a job interview, for potential permanent employment as a lawyer after graduation. I get paid hourly, 40 hours a week. I have to get approved overtime. I cant confirm it, but Im pretty certain all of the lawyers there including my boss have salaried jobs. I get there at 8:00 and clock in. Everyone there always works at their desks, through lunch, maybe eating something. I asked my manager about it and he said thats the culture of the company. He says everyone here is a hard worker and he hopes that Im a hard worker too. I got the sense that if I took a break or didnt work through lunch, I would stand out and not look like a hard worker. I though if I was going to work through lunch which is fine that I would simply leave earlier in the day. My boss said it was fine, but almost consistently through the last few weeks hes dropped an urgent task on my desk at 4:00 and asked me to finish it up for him, saying he needs it by today. These tasks usually take an hour, if not more.When I asked him to approve the overtime on my time card, he told me that he hadnt approved my overtime and asked me to switch it to say I either took lunch at 12:00 or left at 4:00.This seems like an extended job interview for me and I feel like Ive screwed up. I know Im young and I dont want to appear inexperienced or like I dont want to do work. But I dont want to work for an hour for no money, either. Any advice? How should I talk to my manager? Thanks!  <response>: Having been a summer associate myself, I would ask, is 1 hours pay per day worth risking 100kyear if you dont get the return offer?And dont you have to count billable hours anyway?Maybe also take a look at your summer associate offer as well; see how they worded your compensation.
