I don't understand how A could have been treated unfairly. He received what he was owed, and then when he asked for more, it was given to him. I don't see anything unfair about that.

The same can be said about B even though what he was given wasn't as much as A, he still got what he was owed, and then when he asked for more, he got more. It sounds completly fair to me.

I think C was also treated fairly. He got everything he was owed. The fact that his employer didn't give him a gift when he asked for one can hardly be considered unfair.

I voted no one.

You accept a job. When payday comes around, your employer refuses to pay you for the work you have done.

Nobody has been treated unfairly.
Why did they deserve extra vacations???
The employer has no obligation to give out those privilages. He can give if he wants to, as charity, because the worker already recieves compensation for his work.

A couple have twins. They are 5 , one gets a trip to disneyland the other one stays at home.
But hey why did they deserve to go to disneyland.
The parents have no obligation to give out trips to disneyland.
