I'd take the time off
Mainly because I have a sideline business. I could make way more than the 5K putting the extra time into my own gig. And it's job security. You have no idea how nice it is not to worry about being laid off or outsourced. Go ahead, punk, make my day. Even said that in my last performance review. "I don't give a crap." An exact quote.

Strangely I'm still here. Though maybe not so strange when you think about it. It puts you on a more relaxed footing with the higher ups. Threats don't work, so no one bothers.
