    Man, I’ve got STORIES to tell! Due to a lack of time, I can only say that the older I get, the more judicious I am about my employment. It’s also to the point where the older I get, the less patience I have. I don’t expect everyone to get it, and I’m mindful that some will. In other words, where I’m happy, appreciated, grateful, I can smell that SWEET “smell o’ heaven” at the end of the day, I’d rather expend my time and energies there any day of the week!

    What is hard is when you still have things to do after work and now they didn't get done. And you're exhausted and now you have to work weekends too. I don't mind working overtime sometimes but I can't live there.

    This is really helpful.
    Personally, I wanted to work some OT hours at my fast food restaurant to replace someone else’s hours (they quit), but thinking about it, the answers about productivity apply extra hard to fast food.
    Yeah, you can work OT and get paid 50% more for a lot of “dead space” in the day because all of the money is made from the mid day rush, not from closing the store, or from not selling food.
    If pay is defined as “What you’re worth,” you’re kind of not being paid what you’re worth, unless you really are filling that OT with something to do that assists productivity. But what exactly can you do there in the fast food industry? They’ve had decades to make everything fast and efficient.
    This doesn’t change even if you’re being paid “the proper wage,” because then OT would kick in regardless and go way, way above that.
    The case for it then drops from a productivity case to “Well, you basically have no life, so you need to be paid more.”
    In a necessity-based, compensatory context, this makes sense. In a voluntary “I want money” context, not really, unless you can really prove that the work in OT is proportional to the pay increase.
    There’s of course the problems of working more and more for work-life balance, but other things get in the way of OT.

      i did lots of OT in fastfood . got whole workouts in on the clock . now-a-days you can run whole businesses on your phone on the clock during slow time . do research , learn languages ............ get paid . They need someone there . invest that money and now that money is working While you Sleep .

    oh god i know so many people that i work with in japan that work "overtime" or "hard". i call it working hard or hardly working. from what i know working efficiently is not something they like here. im the guy who gets things done ahead before it gets too crazy. that way in case something happens i still have time to fix it. like this year, i was pretty much done with most of my school documents (im a teacher) for february even if the government all of a sudden ended school super early. so we didnt have school in march but thankfully i was done, i pretty much didnt have much to do in the first few weeks of march but to tidy my things up and wait for the next work to come. i just ended up sorting the office or other facilities in the school.

    I strongly disagree with #4, my boss is a lazy pos, got his title by marrying big boss's daughter. He's the last one there and first to leave. We constantly have to do his work. Hence my 40+hours of OT every 2 week. And other workers see his laziness and also slack off creating more work for the hard workers.

    I’m starting my second week on the new job, I ‘be been taking only 15 minutes out of my 1 hour break since day 1, as that’s what everyone does there, they all eat on their desk to “optimise time”. I’ve been going to the canteen and getting to know people from different sectors. They have no time to show me what I’m expect to do, therefore I can’t help them/do my job. Even though I’ve been staying minimum an hour an a half overtime simply because I have to wait for them to me me when to leave. I’m on an annual contract, not by the hour, the salary is low average anyway.
    Today I asked if I’ll be getting paid for overtime or should I write down the extra hours to get free time whenever they can allow me. I might lose my job as everyone seems to do it quite happily, but if I can’t even plan the few hours I have after work for someone else’s incompetence on delegating, then I can see myself losing my motivation completely and simply leaving in less than a month. It’s such a such as I believe I have some much to bring to the company and everyone seems really nice, it’s near my house.

      I think you have to draw your OT line... and your company needs to know you have one. It's kind of like the movie Office Space... if they know you'll come in every Saturday and Sunday without any real pushback... then they'll always ask you to come in on Saturday or Sunday

    I was looking for a financial answer. Is there a break even point in working OT? I mean Tax wise. The more OT somebody works the more taxes are paid. At the end, It doesn't make sense to work all that OT just see a few extra bucks on your paycheck. And maybe paying some more at Tax season.

    • @OfficeSurvivalGuide
      @OfficeSurvivalGuide  4 года назад

      Hi RichardXD -- The way tax brackets work is you pay proportional to the money that you earned in that tax bracket.. The biggest jump if you are single is from $84,200 bracket is 24%, but the $160,725 bracket is 32%... so any money you earn over $160K gets taxed 8% more. But yeah... might be worthwhile to hold some of your overtime earnings back in savings in case you bumped in to the higher tax bracket.

    Depends how far you are from the next tax bracket ... per example for a single person if by working 40 hours you are in the 12 % and working over time doesn’t push you beyond the next bracket then sweet you’ll see the same rate of return... however if your over time makes you hit the next tax bracket ... not worth it that money gets tax at 22% which adding fica and 7.65 and your state taxes which in my state is 4.95% ... I have no dependents or deductions beyond my 40 hours so anything above 45 hours gets tax at 40 % ... now who the heck wants to over work for 60% ... and before you say I’ll see that money.. keep in mind that my 45 hours keep me in the bottom bracket any more than that and I still won’t get back any taxes back because that extra income still on that top bracket. Over time is not worth it when you are on the higher end tax brackets ... enjoy life
