eli5: If I work a lot of overtime, do I still get more money even though I’m taxed more?

I usually opt to work more during the holiday season because we get higher wages (holiday pay). I signed up for a lot of extra days and my co-workers keep telling me that because I’ll make more money, I’ll get taxed more. So I’ll be receiving less pay than I’d usually make without the overtime. Is that right? I feel stupid right now.
