If you had the choice, what would you go for:
I know for me it's the latter but that comes from a position where cost of living, while putting a bit of pressure on me financially, isn't my biggest concern. I've lived frugally before and can do that but seeing my hours slip away while companies make big profits off of my work isn't fun.
My work/life balance is pretty good at the moment, so I'll take the extra $$$ all day.
Same here although I’d love it if the profits made by the company were evenly distributed downwards to all of us, especially us at the bottom of the ladder.
