Never Work with Bad People

Many years ago I was fortunate to hear management consultant Peter Drucker give a talk aimed at budding management consultants. At one point he said, "Never work for someone you do not respect." The crowd laughed. He said, in a stern voice, "You laugh. You are wrong to do so." And went on to explain that he had only twice worked for clients he did not respect, and had regretted it bitterly each time.

This is the most milquetoast take I have ever seen.

From what I read of the article, a 'Bad Person' is just someone you have bad vibes with. Quote:

> They tend to be charming, capable, but since the beginning your intuition tells you that something’s not right.

So if someone tells you, "No, that is physically not possible, you will lose money, here is my evidence" and you just have some bad vibe about them, ignore them! They're just a bad person. In fact, remove them!

What a joke. The idiom "If you lie down with dogs you get fleas" comes to mind. Usually this rhetoric comes from people who have been on their high horse for too long, and call many other kettles black.
