If it's a family, it's the kind of family you see in movies where father knows best and everyone does what he says.
I preferred Netflix's honesty -- they always said "we're a sports team. We bring on top performers, and we cut low performers. Sometimes we even cut top performers that we just don't need anymore. But if you are a top performer with a skill that we need, you'll always have a job".
- justin66 3y agoWho said this? "Sometimes we even cut top performers" sounds like something an unusually introspective executive might write in their memoir, after they are safely retired.
- jedberg 3y agoHR would say it all the time. Usually after a top performer was let go and we wondered why and they would say "we just didn't need their role anymore".
- justin66 3y agoVery interesting. I can see that causing... extreme uneasiness, in some environments. But Netflix sounds challenging but cheerful and honest, the way you describe it.
- zamalek 3y agoYeah. It's way better when both sides are clear about it being nothing more than a business transaction. I assume that you wouldn't be looking for a job long as a redundant Netflix top performer.
