This is article is the rhetorical equivalent of saying "Long string isn't worth it" and then proceeding to complain about how hard it is to work when someone ties you up with string, or leaves 5000 yards of tangled string in the kitchen. We've all been there, right? For every such article you could write one called "Short String Isn't Worth It." Obviously, depending on your context, working with difficult people is necessary and worth it. Sometimes it may not be worth it to you, but it's worth it to other people. Lots of people at Apple did not want Steve Jobs to return, after he left. But lots of people did, and he arguably made everyone there (whom he didn't fire) a whole lot of money. Was it worth it or not? Depends how you feel about things. Articles like this can be better written when the author reminds himself to focus on the elements and forces, rather than reifying and polarizing the topic into a garish stereotype. The point of an article like this ought to be to help people examine themselves and their situation so as to reconcile themselves to it or to take productive action. Pitchforks and torches aren't helpful.
