<prompt> Human: About 3 months ago I moved back to my hometown from New York to work at a magazine. My boss and I agreed on a pay rate of 500 a week for the first 90 days and then revisit it after that. Some things you should know about this man:He has a horrible reputation for being a general douche bag and the magazine has a pretty high employee turn around. Hes the kind of guy who always thinks hes right no matter the situation and will never ever admit blame. Generally hes pretty intolerable to be around but I am just starting in the industry and figure dealing with a dumbass and gaining experience is better than nothing at all.When I first started the job I was more of an assistant to the publisher production coordinator but one month in our editor quit and I have assumed her position completely. We recently finished an issue and I probably wrote about 50 of this 200 page magazine, and edited the rest of it. This is where my question comes in.When my boss hired me it was an hourly rate of 12.50- 40 hours a week. Since working as the editor I have been working about twice that much, especially in recent weeks since weve been on deadline. I come in on weekends and work 12 hour days during the week. This would be fine if I was getting paid for it but I am not. Throughout all of this, people that know him have told me he has a nasty reputation for underpaying and overworking his employees. I really think its unfair to be working this much for this little amount but I am totally afraid he will fire me if I ask for more money. He already belittles me constantly because I dont have a lot of editing experience, and should I even work for a guy who treats his employees so badly?? I like working in the magazine industry and he has given me a lot of creative responsibility which is nice... my parents are telling me to brave the storm and get through a year with this guy but at some point if I do that I know I need to woman up and ask for more money or just quit.Help Reddit!! Have you ever been in a situation like this? What do I do?? How do talk to this guy in a way where I can get what I want or is it even worth it?  <response>: Start looking for a new job.
