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.

Yeah this happened at my company because there was too much accrued time which is a risk for the company. So they offered a use 2 get 1 free within a couple of months. Some coworkers suggested holding out for a better ratio…

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.
