    This seems like a good way to get fired from your job, and then they can’t withhold any taxes because there won’t be a paycheck. Oh shit, I just figured out tax evasion!

      Your job doesn’t give a shit.

      Anyone can claim exempt from withholdings and not have to pay any thru the deductions.

      But you’re not exampt from taxes. So at the end of the year you get a bill for everything.

      Even if you don’t pay that, tax evasion isnt your jobs problem, it’s a you problem.

        No, but writing all this nonsense on work paperwork is a great well to tell people you’re full on crazy and are likely to be a huge pain in the ass with poor judgment. Sovcits are big fans of rules lawyering anything they don’t want to do, so I would honestly fire them immediately rather than deal with them long term.

          You widely overestimate how much of a fuck employers give…

          At most when they see this, they’d laugh and say you’re gonna be fucked.

          You think anyone who got an important job tried this shit?

          Or that employers care about disposable low rank employees?

            It’s not even the employer that doesn’t give a fuck: for most of us, they’re just forwarding to ADP or similar and don’t care unless that vendor rejects it
