I don&#x27;t blame these people for leaving.  Self-governance is hard.  Most kids are taught to obey their authority-figure teachers.  They eventually grow up to obey their authority-figure bosses.  So when a company like Zappos goes flat like this, it flies in the face of over two decades of training for managers and subordinates alike.<p>That being said, the new setup is great for people who are used to that level of independence.  Were you a freelancer?  In an early stage startup?  Came from schooling where you were in charge of your education?  If that&#x27;s you, the new Zappos is a natural fit.  It also puts you in a tiny (lucky) minority of the potential candidates who are.
