You have the most valuable resource of all: time.

I think if you take a step back you've hundreds of things you could do that you didn't think of.

I'm jealous.

Right, but does he/she own any of it when the job ends? If not, what's the point?

[MrQuincle]

Ownership in earning money of it? Or intellectual ownership? Or ownership as being a benevolent dictator? Or copyrights?

I think if some of these are important to him/her, it might be a good topic to discuss with the company.
