On the one hand, they should have known better than to use netflix communication channels to talk negatively about work/bosses.
On the other hand, it's a REALLY bad look for Netflix to fire employees for chatting negatively about their boss in private messages. The whole "we're radically transparent" sounds like a horrible excuse for someone's ego getting bruised. I guarantee there are hundreds if not thousands of private chats on their slack with employees complaining about coworkers.
I presume they're now combing through every private chat and terminating any employee who said something negative about a coworker? No?
- foobaw 5y agoIt's unclear if these were private messages. It's possible these were posted on public channels. AFAIK, Slack doesn't allow companies/IT access to private messages unless there are legal implications.
- tw04 5y agoThere are multiple articles about the issue and it literally states they were private messages in them. https://www.businessinsider.com/netflix-fires-marketing-executives-who-complained-about-company-leadership-slack-2021-7?op=1 https://www.businessinsider.com/netflix-fires-marketing-exec... > Netflix has fired three senior executives within its film marketing team for airing complaints via private Slack messages Yes, slack absolutely allows IT to view your private messages. https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/1/24/21079275/slack-private-messages-privacy-law-enforcement-lawsuit https://www.vox.com/recode/2020/1/24/21079275/slack-private-...
