His "fuck you" money has its own "fuck you" money...but if he doesn't want to work in the same circumstances as everybody else, why not just retire?

When you're employee #8 at one of the biggest technology companies in history, and help create and drive almsot everything that got the company there... the idea of retirement and doing nothing is horrifyingly boring to some people.

in the end Google opted for WFH, however.

I heard it metaphorized like this: if a congress member votes against some healthcare bill but it gets approved, does that congress member lose the ability to apply? I'm sure there's some Schadenfreude thinking about it, but logistically it doesn't make much sense.
