It's true that hierarchy is bad, but I don't see why it was necessary to spend 1500 words in saying so. He also misses something big: your relationship with your boss is more important than the shape of your organization.

A bad boss can turn any working arrangement toxic very quickly, even in a company completely devoid of hierarchy.
