2 hours of overtime is $30? OP needs a union.
Thats $8/hr even. Pretty standard for retail jobs where I live.
Cost of living where I am is around $38-40 so I'm all out of whack with this, sorry. But on most contracts our first 2hrs of OT would be 1.5x, whereas you're somehwere around 1.85x? So that's neat.
The city where I live has a higher col then the surrounding rural areas. Our living wage is $15.34 and poverty wage is $6.35 I don't have a report for the surrounding areas but my gut says somewhere around $10/$5.
In the US you have to get paid 1.5x for hours over 40. $30/2.5/1.5 = $8. And thats assuming no paycheck deductions such as tax, healthcare, alimony, etc
Op worked 2.5 extra hours. That's $8/hr * 1.5 overtime * 2.5 extra hours.
Most places don't have skyhigh col.
But most people don't live in most places.
Then thats self inflicted.
How do you figure?
You choose to live in high col places, expecting to live cheaply.
And what about the people who don't chose that but still end up living there?
My midlife crisis just got a little worse.
There are places where it would literally cost me 80% less to live. I'm stuck for work reasons but damn.
where in the hell is that?
Even mcdonald's working are getting ~$14/hr
