Glad to hear it works for some. Were you the only one that had the opportunity or did coworkers also take on extra work?
On a side note, if you do take on the extra work as a team, be sure your work is noticed and seen. Don't hunker down and do it quietly. Those who make a bigger show of it are noticed and get the reward, regardless if your own work possibly had a bigger impact.
