Who here would?
I don't (and I don't think any of us do) know if this is true, but if it is, good for him. There's more to life than your job.
The cool thing about being rich, and being the best person in the world at your job for a few years, is that you don't have to do what you don't want to. You can do whatever you want. Hell, that's the point.
Don't have to work anymore? Don't work. Don't want to move? Don't move. Have enough money to live for the rest of your life and don't need any more? Mission: Accomplished.
This guy doesn't owe the Flames, much less us, a damn thing.

This is absolutely bang on.
As an employee you work hard while working but in lifestyle decisions you look after yourself. If you stay or go your manager still gets paid, your coworker comes to work and gets paid, you get replaced, no one is effected except you so why do some faceless corp a favor and move or do something you dont like for years out of your life? Way to go kipper!
