  Not everyone's a good fit for their job, and dealing well with low performers is critical to building and maintaining a well-oiled organization. I've worked at a company that consistently failed to "deal well with poor performers" and man, it took a village to get poor or toxic folks walked. All the meanwhile they were crapping up the place.

  The only surprises I have had is for people that have run into socially, but are in other groups that I don't work with, and hence have no personal knowledge of their performance.

    Alright, that's fair then. It doesn't detract from my overall impression though; Netflix is a company that tries to bulldoze it's way to the top, using the tried and tested tools of rewarding high performers richly while getting rid of 'looser' quickly, which always walks a thin ethical line. It works for a while in my experience (I have worked in such organizations) - but it turns toxic when the defeats inevitably pile up.
