Be nice friend... as money comes and goes... if one lives a low-burn lifestyle, than one never has to worry about investment passive revenue dropping you into the red. =3 Rule #1: Quickly identify a failure to resolve critical paths to completion. Some projects are simply doomed without the right people, resources, and market conditions. See "Law of holes" corollary: "Nor would a wise man, seeing that he was in a hole, go to work and blindly dig it deeper..." ( The Washington Post dated 25 October 1911 )

This isn't about a doomed project, it's about a guy who quit because he didn't feel like he needed to go to the office. As far as I'm concerned, if you need the money then you should just go to work. You mention "passive investment revenue" which is usually code for "invest hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars to maybe get enough ROI to pay some bills." If someone is emboldened to quit his job over probably petty reasons because they can fall back on such "investments" they may still be reckless.

  > it's about a guy who quit because he didn't feel like he needed to go to the office. What are you referring to? The linked article is about a man whose employment was terminated for asking Dimon a question about how coming into the office helps when everyone he works with is not in the same office. And then he was rehired.

    There are some managers that will assert authority through public firing of problematic staff for insubordination. However such measures are rarely ever necessary, as most corporate cultures are not that difficult to manage. The old adage "It's Not What You Say—It's How You Say It" is very true when working within a team. =3

    Right, I misremembered. Anyway, if you really NEED the job then you don't ask questions like that to the CEO lol. Everyone knows that asking is risky even if you're right.
