"you should all be working AT LEAST 40 hours per week."

Without saying it, he implied that we should all be volunteering to work extra hours without expecting to be paid for it. That's everyone. I did not work extra hours yesterday, so I was behind on the assigned work. Some of my co-workers did work all evening, and some of us did not. I had to give away some of my work to the people who finished first, so it would get done.

One of the managers was getting on us for not finishing this on time, and I told her we were only assigned the work yesterday. She answered "IS THAT WHAT I ASKED YOU?"

I don't see how I can make this work. I am not willing to volunteer or take responsibility for the mistakes of my managers. And that's apparently what you have to do to get by here.
