>I guess things are changing, but historically refusing to serve customers based on political differences would be considered intolerant. You can disagree with someone without refusing them service. I don't see any ethical dilemmas in serving someone you disagree with. You are free to disagree with that principle.

Let's not separate a single example, the entire example list is as a whole, i.e. any of the situations listed are that to the person involved. Sure for you it doesn't, however, someone else will have a different opinion with respect to dealing with other political stripes. There are people who won't deal with other religions in this day and age.

>> Growing pains, but an employee who is competent or incompetent will face the same dilemma because of what I suggested earlier.

I typed this in a way it was not clear. The growing pains will heal. The competent and incompetent employees will always be slaves, their competence won't help them.

And yes, I sleep well.

And did you before you were established and successful?

Do you have experience where you succeeded as an employee without compromising on your principles as well?

No I was a wage slave. It is why I'm saying you can't succeed as an employee without compromising your principles. Even CEOs of Fortune 500s don't have the ability as they have a board to report to. Well except Zuck.
I think it's worth considering that, just because you didn't do it, does not mean it can't be done. Perhaps your personal growth was as big of a difference as the format of your labor relationship.
You can't. Nobody can. Not me, not you. I'm not sure you are understanding my point. If you work for someone you are their b * * * * *.

Yes you may grow but your values will be forced upon you subconsciously.
