I think they're more democracies since usually more than one people own all of the stock. Workplaces can't also arbitrarily do anything they want, it must be within the the agreement made previously with the employee. And that doesen't come even close to intangible asset management like perception. Bad optics can destroy a company from within even when everything should be okay on paper.
Yes, so is a family if you are a parent. But IF you are a parent, you know that ACTING like a dictator backfires on you pretty hard.
You think this policy is worth alienating your tech workers for? No. No, I don't believe you do. Certain other policies might. This is unenforceable and a bit insulting.
> You think this policy is worth alienating your tech workers for?
Why do you think this policy would be alienating your tech workers? Or rather what do you think the "policy" is which would be causing this alienation in your opinion?
As far as I see they recommend that if you see someone struggling and "knocking on the wrong door" help them reach the right door and add what context you can add to their situation. That just feels common sense to me. What do you find "insulting" about it?

I have often met the kind of entrepreneur who thinks that just building a better product is enough and that no effort should be spent on marketing.
They are wrong. Practices often will be taken up by users at a higher rate if the policies are made "official" and at a vastly higher rate if they are "marketed" via a reminder.
Constantly reminding someone of something they wouldn't do by themselves is perceived as nagging. It gets people to do stuff at the cost of growing resentment, it's not free
If your social policy needs to be enforced, then it didn’t succeed in the marketplace of ideas.
If you like this, then do it. It will catch on if it catches on. Meanwhile, there is work to do.
