I have encountered a number of cases where achieving the power to walk out gave the person more power to control thier work environment.
One thing I learned a long time ago, rewards come from relative power, not merit, and that negotiating power comes from having more alternatives than the other side of the table.
This can be misplayed however. If you let it get out that you can walk away any time, astute managers will avoid you, knowing that you won't say how high, when asked to jump.
Has there been previous discussion of the Die Broke approach here? This includes the philosophy that one should find job you actually like, even if it pays less, and you do it until they take you out feet first.
