[quote=Anonymous]No. Especially because she asked. An extra $4.25 is a small Starbucks latte, which would "help her with her calculations." If she can't manage without the extra $4.25/week, then she has other money management issues. Has she been thankful about the other extras (more than the education $500 and extra days off)? Or do you feel like she's taking advantage of you to squeeze the most in perks? I personally would find it incredibly rude. Would you think it's ridiculous or cute if your own teenage kid who had a list of half a dozen set chores, which adds up to earning $19.50 IF they did them all, asked you to round up every week? Or would you tell them to do one more little chore for the extra 50 cents or that they mowed the lawn badly last time so they barely deserve the $8 for that chore? We can't really have the same performance discussions with the AP and can only give bonuses if you feel generous. The "rounding up" is the same, completely up to you, NOT her.[/quote]
