Something like this happened to me when I was 21. I was only an intern in college, working part time. My boss (all of his background was in the trucking business) told me he wanted me to move our servers around and move the router "out of sight" into the ceiling. I told him I could work on it Saturday, but not Sunday since I had to prep for an exam on Monday. I did my work on Saturday, moved some systems around, and agreed to do the router move Tuesday night. He called me Sunday begging me to come to the office. I complied. He fired me on the spot.
I'd do it again.

...And then there's the ones who did it repeatedly their whole professional life. Admittedly, I've been told conflicting stories about my self-presentation all my life. Whatever. People benefited from it. My message from the first was "Don't be careful, be paranoid"--which is actually an out-take from correct security practices.
