I love what Netflix are doing right now but I wouldn't ever work there. It sounds like the Hunger Games, with employees desperate to show they're "A" players.

I'd be terrified of having a couple of weeks as a "B+" player and being let go, then having to come up with a creative reason why I spent 4 months at Netflix when I went for my next interview.

The way they dealt with Laura also sounds like they were pretty disloyal to her. They want loyalty from their employees when it comes to "what's best for the company" but seem to give zero in return. How about training Laura up and helping her get her qualifications so she's then able to contribute as you'd like? easier to just show her the door.

This seems to do the rounds every few months as some sort of brag, but I think treating people like this is nothing to be proud about.

What company are we talk about again? Was this the same company were were talking about in the last few days?
