Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Alot of good comments. For me, it might of been a better option in my 20's or maybe early 30's, but it sounds pretty risky based on the feedback. But now, it's hard to take a pay cut with increased hours, so I'll hold steady. It's always easy to "buy in", exit strategy would cause heartburn.
It's very true as one gets closer to FI or is FI, they are more open in communication. Yesterday, I challenged the CIO on a regulatory compliance issue. My boss was a bit surprised, but I'm the one working longer hours to fix the problem they created. I instructed the CIO to assign the task to one of his direct reports to resolve by Monday (as I'm taking Friday off). =) I really don't care if he doesn't, it'll probably cost the company $25k extra in fees if this blows up.
