I never advocate screwing one's employer. I believe professional ethics must at all times be high. If you don't like your employer ... quit. At the same time ... if two solutions are equally viable ... the employee that doesn't choose the one the most enhances the employee's employability is a fool. And no employer should want a fool for an employee.
