Default Worker Exploitation--Unpaid Labor

At one place I worked several years ago, in addition to our regular duties employees were required to complete a special project that could not be possibly be done in an 8 hour day or 40 hour work week. The message was to work off the clock on this task (which BTW was an interdepartmental cross-training assignment). Unfortunately, due to personal financial circumstances at the time, I didn't object and went along.

I might add that this employer was not some fly-by-night hole in the wall outfit but a well known finance company.

Fellow FP Forum members, if your boss "asked" you to work off the clock, How did (or would) you respond?
