      You can be as religious as you like, but you can't lecture your co-workers about how your religion is the one true one, or press them to convert, or call them infidels if they don't, or try to get them fired, or insist that the company declare your religion its official religion.

      Co-workers are different because they didn't choose to be your co-workers.

          So you’d say “employees” or “clients” (ref: expensify) would be okay? My first instinct is that I agree quite viscerally. But “visceral” is often a signal that I haven’t thought it all the way through, and that I am not considering the nuances.

          If you don’t consider your “employees” coworkers then you might also have a leadership problem.

          and that's why "team work" with teams which were assembled involuntarily, requires a manager to keep the forced laborers together. self-organizing voluntary teams are a multiplier, forced "teams" requiring constant supervision to keep it going.

          That is an excellent argument for things like DAOs.

          Neither did the "others" choose to be others.

          I wonder if this might not always be true if red and blue companies become a thing?

          Unless the founders are pushing the orthodoxy. That’s why @Brian_armstrong is on point. Be clear about your mission upfront so that people know what they signed up for and aren’t being pushed into compliance.
