Messed up last year and worked 3 forty hour work weeks in a 9 day period. Saved a ton of material from going to the landfill. Literally a ton. That’s not a figure of speech. Saved the company 10s of thousands of dollars. Then the tax man came. Never again. There’s a significant portion of the plant that doesn’t work overtime beyond a few hours over income taxes.

I think a lot of people don’t realize how much doesn’t get done because people decide it just isn’t worth overtime at a certain point once the tax man gets involved.
