I quit my office job after they denied a promised raise. My boss told me he would only give me a recommendation if I wrote a full step by step manual for my replacement. I did, but changed one critical billing formula and left an outdated password. Two weeks later, on the last day of the month, everything broke and they were losing clients. He called me desperate. I said my consulting rate is 150 dollars an hour, three hours upfront. He paid 450. I fixed it in five minutes. Legally clean. Morally, I collected the raise they refused.

Would you have done the same?
