I noticed no change in the likelihood of anyone being in his office with the extra week of leave.

Will have to ask our HR rep what the Uni’s position on it is. Could be interesting.

I know you meant the Greens – I was merely trying to represent my irritation with their position 🙂

I imagine that the university implicitly expects you to be working during your holiday time anyway – hence why they won’t be too happy to just start paying more

I wonder what the University would say if I asked to trade a week’s holidays for the pay increase. I suspect they wouldn’t like it.

But I love voluntary exchange – the whole idea that people trade and both are better off. I don’t get why there are so many haters 😛

When you see voluntary monetary exchange as coercion, all Pareto logic goes out the window.
