Mostly a bad advice.

Why? Seems pretty sensible. Employer-employee is a business relationship. Treat it as such.

Worked with some of the teams making the first iPhone and bringing the Internet to everyone in a pocket sized slab was way more than a job it was a dream. Didn't turn out quite as expected, but this idea that work is only that is in my opinion dangerous. Millions are made selling sugar water and there is a famous multimillionaire with warehouses full of nickles, but business can be much more than that and it is up to all participants to build, man, and steer the boats.

If you own the galley you're a "participant"; if your job is rowing it, you're something else entirely.
