Maybe my opinion is atypical compared to a lot of the comments here, but I'm of the belief that if you treat your team members not just fairly but well, invest in them, genuinely care about them, and trust/empower them, then the overall sentiment of the article makes a lot of sense.
I'm not a big fan of the current state of the world where people hop careers every couple years and are always looking for new opportunities continuously. It's driven by extreme corporate greed which is way too skewed in the wrong direction. I always thought there was something nice about lifetime or career companies. Again, if both employer, management, employees and community can create a culture and company that is in balance in all aspects, the author's position is justified in my opinion.
However, it's it's just empty words that maintains the status quo of Silicon Valley, then I don't agree with the author. We need less selfish egotistical thought leader CEOs following the trends and more down to earth and humble leaders who want to do meaningful work.
