I agree with you, but I think one thing is worth mentioning: You can still get rid of bad players.

The "bad player" problem is a real one. I'm not talking about people who underperform compared to others, but to those who disrupt the work environment by various means.

People like that are poison to a productive working environment, and there is nothing in anything that has been said which means you shouldn't get rid of them.

Oh absolutely. It's part of cultivating the culture. Personally I like the book "The No Asshole Rule."
