UGGGGH!

I lost OVER a THIRD of my paycheck this week to taxes! It's actually boardering on 40%! This is ridiculous! Because of the bonus!

I practically lost my entire regular paycheck to taxes. I got a whole... $18 in compensation for work last week, if you want to look at it that way. Or I lost half the bonus. Whichever. The total paycheck was over tripple what I make in a week, and I don't even get to receive double.

This is - That - I can't believe - Well, I expected, but - GAH!

FAIR TAX! FAIR TAX! FAIR TAX!

I think it sounds like your accounting department screwed up, because that can't be right. I'd check on it if I were you!

Well, I got to keep 63%. >.> I'm not happy about it. But I have no idea how much they're supposed to withhold or what it's based on. It's a problem everyone complains about, though. And I doubt it will ever be fixed.
