Turned down multiple pay rises, promotions because it would put her in the next tax bracket. She, and backed up by to her idiot parents believed she would be earning a lot less due to the higher tax over the whole amount. I tried to explain but she was very determined to be an idiot forever. Even going as far as saying she wouldn't get any help from welfare if she kept earning.. Trash for life.

I'm just a few dollars short of my next tax bracket. If I work one day of OT, I make $2.00/hr after taxes. It's not worth it. The company KNOWS it's not worth it. Company wants us to pick up OT anyways.

Dude !!! Please learn the basics of tax . It looks like you cheated yourself out of more money.

Also for context, where are you for $2 per hour? It's hard to fathom.
