I bet working for free does help you keep your job.

Actually , I was never fired or "laid off" for my entire
35 year career, even tho I was working in the defense
industry where typically, when a contract was filled,
engineers were shed. I saw many many co-workers
get pink slips -- many smarter and with more experience
than myself -- and the only reason I could see was
that the company wanted to "hang on" to people that
it knew could be depended on.....
It might not work everywhere, but it sure as hell
worked at Bendix, Texas Instruments, and Raytheon....

And "working for free" didn't happen. That's why
bonuses and "paid time off" were created. I have
no complaints.
