Heh, the boss giveth with one hand and taketh away with the other.
I got a pay rise too recently. Previously I'd been earning a basic wage + holiday money (ie I got a couple of quid more a day instead of taking leave.) When I renewed my contract, they kept me at that combined rate, but now I get leave.
Of course, since I don't get *paid* leave, this actually means over a 10 day period I get 9 days of pay, rather than 10 days of pay. So I earn less.
