  That’s up there with refusing raises to avoid going up a tax bracket.

    I will forgive people who were previously had a low enough income to have benefits that magically disappeared completely at a certain threshold when they received a raise for assuming that making too much money could be a negative. They generally never made enough to understand how tax brackets work.

      Yes, that is something that really sucks.

      Here in Ontario disability gets clawed back as soon as you stop making poverty wages, it’s disgusting.

    Or the boss calling a cost of living adjustment a ‘raise’. No, motherfucker, I’m just back to where I started.

      I’m salary or contract, so working overtime is often just doing work without pay.

      I’ll do it every now and then to get things done, but I’m never going to make that my normal.
