The good news is that more and more bitcoin friendly merchants are considering paying wages with bitcoin, some of them have done that! There are some startups who are offering payroll service in bitcoin!

What I'm more curious of is why you're actively using an account that has that little money in it.  It's all in the fine print...that mistake is solely on you. I've had the same bank account for over 15 years and never once put myself in a situation to get an overdraft fee.  It's called being financially responsible.

And if you have a transfer fee, you need to switch banks.  My credit union has never charged a fee for account transfers either online or in person.

The problem is there are no jobs being paid with bitcoin, serious ones at least (sigs dont count lol).
If there isn't bitcoin comming in with work, to get them you'll always need go to through fees and banks which defeats the purpose.

I have 1 savings account and 1 chequing account in a bank, and today I checked my account balance to see I was 15$ overdraft. I emptied the balance into my chequing account and my new balance for the smart saver is now zero. Now, its 15$ overdraft since they charged a transfer fee of 5 DOLLARS for moving money between my accounts on the same card. Changing 2 numbers in a database, 5$ for each one. I doubt it was more than 1 line of code doing this operation automatically, and for 5$ this is ridiculous.
Another reason why I continue to use bitcoin, and I am almost done with banking, sad thing is I have to use bank accounts, no way around it, to be paid in jobs, pay for cars houses all that. Hopefully in a couple years this will change, this is absurd.
