Agree.

Ive owned several businesses and probably hired about 100 people in my life. Ive never commanded a single one.

These are voluntary relationships. I’m paying for their services. I don’t command the waitress to bring me a drink, and she doesn’t command me to pay her.

Why would I ever issue a command? Either you’re choosing to work with me, in which case you want to provide me with your service, or we’re not working together.
