I hope all your doing is punching in numbers and not giving tax advice
Misthios
I love my job. Don't you?
Nice numbers. I'll keep at my pace and make 35 years while you have multiple surgeries being a maroon. Better hope an injury doesn't happen because once you can't do those numbers anymore you'll become a pos in their eyes just like the rest of us.

Working Overtime Is More Taxing Than You Think
The payoff for overtime work appears to be a very good deal for the employee. But here’s some unpleasant news. Thanks to the rising burden of taxes, the bonus income actually received from working longer hours is much less than one might think. That is because every extra hour worked is taxed at the worker’s highest marginal tax rate. In some cases, overtime work may even push the worker into a higher tax bracket.
It turns out that even if the worker receives time and a half for overtime, a surprisingly large share of the bonus wages goes straight to the tax collector.

It's really disturbing someone pays you to give tax advice considering how clueless you clearly are.

The above is not just my opinion, hence the copy and paste.

You're telling people not to work because it will be taxed. Sheer stupidity Dan.

I missed the part where I said that.
What I did say is that it has been my personal experience that any time I worked more than 8 hours of OT in a week I lost money on the deal.
That was backed up by the article that I posted.

No it was not.
There is no tax rate over 100% therefore you did not 'lose money on the deal'.
Use your brain Dan.

AND THAT’S THE BOTTOM LINE
Already doing that, on my budget I save 100$ a week on 40 hours...I waited to buy my house until I could do that. Still have a nice chunk in the savings and not going to change my lifestyle when I hit top rate. I’m not friend’ing around I’m getting out of here before I hit 15 years

Those of us with common sense don't.
Hehehe, you run and still work over-time??
The runners in my building come in at 1530 if they don't have to go help out.
I almost never work overtime and average 200 clicks under per day, WITHOUT running around like a fool.

We had a DM who, when on a safety ride, would position himself just outside of the passenger door, "forcing" the driver to get in to the habit of crossing behind the pkg car.

Earliest I ever got done and still got paid for 8 was 1515. I was a FT bid driver who was asked to cover a route that I had run a few years earlier. It was a country run and on that particular day I had very few stops off of the main roads. Got rid of every single package, completed all 6 pickup stops and was back at the bldg by 1515. The best part was the driver who had the route happened to be at the bldg picking up his paycheck. I pulled in to the parking lot, saw him standing there, looked down at my watch and smiled. He was quite upset with me.

I would just walk around him. I tell every sup who has ever gone on an annual ojs ride with me from the time we start why I won't walk behind. If you value your legs or your life you wouldn't put yourself in a dangerous place. Getting rear ended is the most common accident when parked on the street or roadside.
Wait, you have argued in the past that they don't take extra taxes out on overtime. What is it? Yes they do, or no they don't?

I never understood the rationale for exclusively crossing behind the pkg car. Generally speaking, either way is dangerous and requires alertness. My on-car trained me that crossing 25 ft in front is fine. I use both, my choice always depends on the situation, and either way I'm using my ears to detect traffic before I can see it.
