Government workers are giving themselves a payrise by cashing up annual leave (www.thepost.co.nz)

I take issue with the article's assertion that it's a "sneaky payrise" as if it's somehow dishonest.

I've done this before after accumulating several years worth of leave due to a previous employer having strange ideas about project management and the mythical man-month.

I suppose I was kind of pressured into it, but I also liked having a pseudo-bonus that year.

Some people just don't have a life outside of work, do they? You wouldn't have to tell me twice if I got that offer.
