a billion dollars and somebody else's life

What if Bill or Warren walked into your job, or your business if you are an entrepreneur, and offered you a billion dollars to quit.  I think everybody I know would take that billion.  What if they also said they were going to close the company down after you left?  I don't know many people where that would change their answer.

The CEO of almost every major corporation is hoping this will happen to them.  The owner of almost every single small company would call that day the best day of their life.

The chances of that happening if you are a small to midsize business is smaller than winning the lottery.

If you work for a large corporation (as I do) than somebody else is willing to sacrifice you and there is nothing you can do about it.

Many people are hoping it will happen to them and it almost assuredly won't.  A few people are hoping it will happen to them and you will lose your job, and at some point it almost certainly will.
