We're all grownups. If you can't follow someone who leads through vision, why aren't you starting your own gig, with your own vision?

It's not brainwashing, it's selecting for shared values.

I became part of a company whose vision tactics I had to deal with, as the ultimate skeptic. At first I was like you, "No one's going to tell me..." Then I put myself in the shoes of the founder and decided that his vision was, in fact, acceptable. What you call brainwashing was simply reducing friction for those who would benefit from a little perspective.

Believe me, I was skeptical far into my employment. But I didn't obsess on the tactics, I focused on results of the company and myself.

If you're seriously calling for class action, you're beyond hope. And I'm about as far from a John Galt, pro-capitalist shill as you can get...

Cause working for a company offers health insurance. Starting my own doesn't give me that.
