Money isn't everything, but it DOES pay the bills. As long as one has a separate source of income, your work rules would make for a great way of life!
The NK X trips and JB VDA trips are great, once one achieves enough seniority to hold them (requires more seniority at JB than is does at NK).
These arguments are all very interesting. No one at NK is going hungry or homeless for that matter. Everyone enjoys money, but how do you quantify Christmas with the fam, anniversary with the spouse, new years with friends, etc..? Making all that money and no way to enjoy it when it matters most.
Not throwing shade, that POV always left me scratching my head
