Just as a friendly reminder, I've heard this argument about "I made more money so I pay more taxes cause I earned over xyz amount, and it's not worth it." The US tax system is tiered. You will never be retroactively punished for earning more money. You may end up paying more in taxes that paycheck, but it'll all come back during tax filing. There's thresholds you have to cross into the next brackets, but it is never worth it to accept less money because of a higher tax threshold.I'm able to pay the bills with some spending money at the end of every month, not as much as when my wife was working but some. The only reason I have to work so many hours is the demand of the nursing home. We opened up a covid unit and the preparation that went into that were astronomical. With so many nurses and CNAs unable to come into work I've been all over the home trying to help out and pick up where I can. Hopefully when all this finally dies down I can go back to my regular 40 hours a week. The extra cash has been nice but you all are right in saying the 80 hours is a death sentence. I don't know what people know in here about overtime pay but when your over 10 hours or more the taxes are insane. I do bring home more but in reality the govt. Takes their cut, hopefully I get a decent return this upcoming year.
And thanks for taking care of our coronavirus patients and facilities. Your work may be unsung and unfairly paid for the risk, but believe me, your work is not unappreciated.
