Is it time to quit, or do you have any other suggestion for me?

Question

My new boss told me that I don't have to work overtime because my skills are not good enough for the company to pay overtime.
I used to help out everyone else when new projects were in but since he said so, I have been going home at 4:30 for the last 7 months while everyone else had to stay late.
Apparently my colleagues have been complaining and today I was called in by my new boss' boss. He asked me why I never stayed late to help anymore so I told him what my new boss said.
This afternoon, my new boss said he never said such a thing. I'm wondering if he is trying to "save" me from all the fatigue of working 58 hrs a week (well he does sound nice and kind of flirty) or he is just untrustworthy like most people up there?
For the life of me I can swear to you I don't drink wine before work but now I think I should start doing so.

Sounds like your new boss may be trying to sabotage you especially if he says that he never said what he told you. Why would you do it otherwise? It also sounds like he was trying to sucker you into working off the clock (glad you did not fall for it...plus that was a pretty insulting thing he said to you)
I would find out yes or no do they need me and are you willing to work those extra hours...only if they pay you for it cause it is against the law not to pay you time and a half for overtime.
That said, if they are not willing to pay you for that time and still expect you to work the hours you can either get another job or you could report them for pay violations. Good Luck hon and no sounds like they are the ones who have been drinking on the job!
