I'm noticing a theme in this thread, which is the literal interpretation of the CEO's comment, paraphrased as "WFH has no benefits".
Try to understand that this guy is cargo-culting. He's selling a vision (and a book) -- that the Netflix way of doing things is superior to the average way of doing things. I'm sure deep down inside he knows WFH has benefits, but acknowledging them would go against the culture he believes is required to keep Netflix at the top.
Many times he used sports as an analogy, and I will too -- the greatest coaches in history say and do odd things to inspire greatness. You might not agree with them, but you can't deny the results.
- aeternum 6y agoThis is my take on it as well, and some other quotes like this one also show that he's somewhat exaggerating for effect: WSJ: Do you have a date in mind for when your workforce returns to the office? Mr. Hastings: Twelve hours after a vaccine is approved.
