Time instead of money?

I took the chance today to voice my disappointment over my new salary – just in between whatever correction of the payroll and another directors decision of handing out a bonus (bigger then my salary increase btw) to somebody that didn’t get a pay raise – and that was not meet with a great deal of understanding.

Firstly, I think he was surprised that I raised it at all, secondly he defended it and thirdly I was told it was a reasonable raise. I didn’t agree but what could I do? At least I said something so they know about it.

I am very tempted to take it in time what I could not get in money instead. But I have to fight with my conscience first.
