Many years ago I was fortunate to hear management consultant Peter Drucker give a talk aimed at budding management consultants. At one point he said, "Never work for someone you do not respect." The crowd laughed. He said, in a stern voice, "You laugh. You are wrong to do so." And went on to explain that he had only twice worked for clients he did not respect, and had regretted it bitterly each time.
This is the most milquetoast take I have ever seen.
From what I read of the article, a 'Bad Person' is just someone you have bad vibes with. Quote:
> They tend to be charming, capable, but since the beginning your intuition tells you that something’s not right.
So if someone tells you, "No, that is physically not possible, you will lose money, here is my evidence" and you just have some bad vibe about them, ignore them! They're just a bad person. In fact, remove them!
What a joke. The idiom "If you lie down with dogs you get fleas" comes to mind. Usually this rhetoric comes from people who have been on their high horse for too long, and call many other kettles black.
You see, advice like that are "guidelines" - good advices that not to be taken without checking they apply. Really the same as invoking "high horse for too long" case whenever moral advice is encountered...
Life is not only black or only white but staing in "viper nest" destroy you just by learning "doing" methodology by unintentional osmosis.
And "bad" people often do, sometimes consciously, terrible or naive business/tech decisions.
But someone will say good people sometimes also do terrible or naive decisions. Sure, but continuation of such decision (even acquisition/selloff) is most likely to not be a disgust.
