I think what the GP is saying is that navigating through the office politics is like crossing a minefield; formal structure at least shows you where most of the mines are located; holocracy means you have no clue, no map.
Yes and I think the map is too old and outdated and lacks detail.
At least the map gives you excuses---ie harder to get fired for doing what your boss tells you. Your detractors will have to make up another charge.
For me it's good to know that people still exist who can believe in the first. I also started out like that but the little experience I could gather from this world taught me otherwise.
