13. If you don't get paid overtime, clearly you won't

be paying taxes, right? Win-win, right?

No? Never mind.

I have worked a LOT of involuntary overtime as an airline ticket agent for various reasons, but at least I was always paid. Plus, when we worked Sundays or holidays, we got straight time plus time and a half for the hours worked. If we went over eight hours on those days, we got something like double time.

This was in the 1970s, when unions were still fairly strong. We, the ticket agents at my airline, were not unionized, but we benefitted from strong unions in other areas, like the mechanics.
