Overtime
Sports fans and laborers use OT to refer to "overtime." When discussing sports, OT refers to extra play used to break an end-of-regulation-play tie. When discussing labor, OT refers to work an employee puts in beyond their regularly scheduled hours.
Typically, sports fans enjoy OT, while laborers don't. This fact (and other obvious context clues) should help you determine which version of OT someone is discussing.
Example
A worker who feels his OT work is not appreciated
