Work in the private sector where a good portion of your pay is based on preformance and year end bonuses. You wont have such a narrow view then - in the last 2 years, 25% of my year end salary has come in March in one cheque for year end preformance bonuses.

Fact is there are alot of people who work more than 40 hours a week and only get paid there regular salary. They do that for career advancement, incentive bonuses etc. Not everyone works for Broncos city where they think its acceptable to increase property tax every year. I take courses on the weekend at SAIT, do I expect to get paid for those, no - I do expect my extra effort to be rewarded when it comes time for career advancement or salary bonuses.
