For instance...someone that you have worked with in the past, who just happens to be a pain in the butt, offers you a large sum of money to work with them again...but the experience of previously working with them was so utterly horrible, you still, years later, tell the tale at dinner party's. So, do you say to yourself that no amount of money is worth it and pass up the money...or do you take the money, and suck down the bile that rises in your throat during the job? Not that this has happened to me or anything. :-)

Money has never and I mean NEVER meant anything to me. Money has never been a motivation by which I do anything. As stupid as it sounds, I get payed once a month and when the 15th comes around I go, "Oh yeahhhhh.... that's right. I'm getting payed." I know you are thinking I'm a geek.....that I'm totally feeding you a load of crap...... but it's true.
No amount of money would be worth doing something that was totally against my better judgement. And if the past experience was so utterly horrible that it has branded a memory that still haunts me..... NO. There is no way I'd do it. And I definitely wouldn't let money change my mind.

If the money was right and the time frame short enough I would in a heart beat.
HeII I would get in the ring with Mike Tyson if the money was good enough. And, I will be 59 next month.
And BTW, most honest people would tell you the same thing.
This bring to mind the story of a man in a bar.
He sits down next to a beautiful woman and casually asks if she would sleep with him for a million dollars. Her reply was an immediate, "Yes".
He then asks if she would do it for $20. Her response was, "of course not, what kind of a girl do you think I am?".
The man responded, "we have already established that, now we are dickering on the price".
People are mercenaries and prostitutes. Give them enough incentive and they are all for sale.

Take the money and learn to love everything you hate about the person. You can change how you feel about things in the world, you have control over a lot more than you realize. Learn to deal with the person, and you will be a better person, and have a great paying job as well.

That depends entirely on how much the amount of money we're talking about is and how working w/ him or her will be beneficial for me.
If it is beneficial, I'd do it even w/o the money. Come on, its just another obstacle to get through. It's gold at the end of the tunnel, I always say.

I would walk away. If it was such a horrible experience that it became a dinner tale, it's probably not worth reliving. Money's just that anyway, money....certainly not worth dealing with someone who drove you crazy that much.

When you are on your death bed someday and I am sitting with you as your hospice nurse, none of the money that you ever made in your life comes up in the conversation. None of the money in the world makes you happy then, as you sum up your life, and the value of it. But, that bile . . .it comes back up then and you'll suffer mightily for it.

Pass it up. happiness is more valuable than any amount of money. i have passed up higher paying jobs because I knew it wouldn't be a good situation. I may not make as much. But I am happy in my job.

I'd do it. The job won't be forever and the money will provide a secure future for me and my family. A bit of discomfort is surely worth that.

It's not worth it. Peace of mind and principal beats the wrong kind of money anytime. If you're good at what you do, you'll make money so you don't have to compromise.

No,the money would not be worth the discomfort of working with someone you really dislike.
