Here is a case. you have a jar from pasta sauce. You can toss the jar out after making pasta sauce or you can fill it up with sugar/spices. And it can serve you for a long long time this way.
High pressure environments usually burn people out leaving them useless and thats the underlying message in working for netflix - bust your ass, then most likely you will get fired.
Great message, maybe it is a challenge to youngsters that want to see how not to build a company and rub shoulders with some great minds - before starting their own gig and pillaging the company for their top talent.

I'm not sure where I stand on what Netflix is saying here, but my immediate reaction to your analogy is this: I used to do this with jars too. Now I have more jars than I could ever use for storage, so now I recycle any new ones I get. It seems like it could work the same way with a company and its experienced employees. Once you've found use for a large number of employees whose original skills are no longer needed, it will get harder and harder to do.
- lukeschlather 13y agoIt's much more like a big jar of something fermented like a sourdough starter. If you use up the entire jar and have to throw it out, you've failed to do your job as a sourdough baker. Everybody knows that you're supposed to continuously add more raw materials to the starter without exhausting its supply.
