Depending what your income to spend ratio is, sometimes it's way more efficient to simply spend less, than earn more.
I would say this only applies to mid and upper class....

Fuck taking on a second job. Donk gave the right advice. Spend less. Find some free “or entry fee only” hobbies like biking, snowboarding (a pass at seymour is $400) skateboarding, soccer, hiking, etc.
If your job isn’t paying enough to live your lifestyle, cut costs, or get a higher paying job, but don’t add job.

- Churning | Invest in yourself to increase earning potential. Courses, books, podcasts etc. That’s the permanent solution without being a slave or taking home ketchup packets from McDonald’s.
As an example maybe a first aid ticket is $150. Convince employer to give $1 raise. $2000 per year extra every year from $150 investment.

mind you i'm talking about office jobs in my career in a professional setting |
Well the guilt is just from knowing you're going to put the team in a hole for a bit. I guess it always depends on the size of the firm, and how saturated the position is. Can someone just take over if they work OT? Is 2 or even 3 weeks going to be enough time to hire someone new? Then the time to train someone to get accustomed to the workflow, obviously that will take time as well.
Simply put, it's not my problem at the end of the day. But the smaller the firm, the tighter the group is, and most likely with the boss as well. And the people I work with are great and I like my boss.
In my case, it's not really burdening my coworkers, more so that they actually need to hire someone new to directly replace me. They recently hired some new staff, and I was hoping they could soften the blow by filling in my role, but their background experience isn't exactly the same as mine, so I can already tell, it's not happening...
As mentioned earlier, I was planning to drop the resignation news this week, but my boss hasn't been around due to meetings and I wanted to tell him directly, not through an email. I'm sure I'm overthinking it, and now I regret not trying harder to just get the news to him. Cause my boss just randomly gave me a call earlier today to also bump my salary just cause it's been a bit long overdue. My reaction must have been so weird.. cause I was more choked than happy, lol.. But fuck.. this timing... thanks, but still going to be making a lot more at the new place, but now quitting will just look like a slap in the face.  | |

Just put your hours in the timesheet and get paid, no management approval necessary. But it was only 1x pay all the way. (Not sure if that was even legal??)
It was addictive like a drug, especially for people in their 20's or 30's who needed the money and didn't have family commitments. Just grinded out 45-50 hrs a week and get paid. It didn't even seem that hard afterawhile cause you just see everybody else still in the office at 7pm. It became the norm and it felt awkward to walk out at 5pm when everyone else was still there. People became workaholics without even knowing it.
I felt like I had "PTSD" for a while after I left. My new jobs only gave me 37.5 or 40hrs a week, and I constantly felt like I wanted to do another 5-10 hrs a week cause I didn't feel like I was getting enough money.

it sort of is what it is and work life moves on is how i see it

I'm surprised we're even talking about OT.
Most professional, white collar jobs are salaried. 50-60 hour weeks are not uncommon for many. Emails into the late hours of the evening are pretty standard.
My thought is that a combination of churning and volunteer work with respected community organizations (i.e. getting on boards) can help you increase your earnings.

At a certain point you need to be responsible for your own workaholism, address the fact you can't make things work under a 40 hour work week and either demand the tools you need to make it work, or leave. Unless you truly get paid well enough you believe massive work weeks are reasonable. Lots of places across all industries will take advantage of peoples drive and dangle the carrot. As you get older it becomes pretty easy to figure it out though.

I couldn't imagine working salary and not getting paid for all the hours worked. I have a white collar office job that pays hourly (need to fill in a timesheet) and honestly when the day is slow, I'm not working very hard regardless or just killing time chatting with coworkers.
I guess the perk is salaried staff get to go home early, while hourly rate staff need to hang around the office and pretend to be working. My 37.5 hrs of pay per week is guaranteed regardless. OT is just bonus on top. But "flex" hours seem pretty common in my industry, it almost seems like it's just a better deal to be on hourly rate so that you have the option to get paid OT if you're going to get slammed with work.
