I only ever saw one of those being posted to hn quite some time ago. I must admit, that I found this specific example quite disturbing.

The implied undertone was that all others should accommodate the author and change themselves to better interact with the author so that his needs were met and he could be a productive member of the work force.

But what does that imply the other way around? If I were to write a play book like this, were this person to also adapt to my ways/wants? Or would this be too much to ask?

Working in any professional environment to me implies adapting to others around at least a bit (without loosing what makes out our personality). Out of respect to other human beings alone I think this is decent human behavior.

But as said, to me these writings sound like excuses to expect one sided adaption and I could say "pampering". But maybe that is just me.
