> I disagree. People implemented those systems, so if you are correct that it is the systems fault, then it is also a persons fault.

How do you make sure that mistakes don't happen, then? Do you blame and fire people who make mistakes, and hope that the next person put in the same spot doesn't make a mistake? Or do you figure out what caused that person to make the mistake and ensure there are processes in place so that next time this is less likely to happen?

Extrinsic motivators like 'we will give you a bonus' or 'we will fire you' are surprisingly bad at getting people to not fuck things up.

I see: When I said we need to hold people accountable, you may have heard that we need to fire people. That was honestly never on my mind.

Maybe its a cultural thing. I hear a lot of firing at the US. I am from Europe.

This sort of culture worked at Netflix. Did they go down today?

Lets hope you don't ever go into management. You clearly have no idea how to motivate and retain people or have any insight on how hard it is to hire good people to begin with. And no, I'm pretty certain this is not how Netflix's culture is.

This, the wording in of itself shows you have absolutely no clue whatsoever at all of Netflix's culture.

Riiiight... Anyways, you kept complaining of being downvoted, here's a clue: you're being an ass and no one likes you or what you have to say because you're wrong. So go scurry back to reddit where you belong troll...

Okay? some proof please? This is not far off from a baseless character attack which isn't really effective when trying to convince me about your point on you knowing about Netflix's culture.

If you really want a proper answer, the truth is, unfortunately for you I am in management (previously was an engineer) and have always known Netflix to have a stellar performance oriented (and fear driven) culture, their playbook operates like a sports team. Not for everyone, but that's the point and it works for them.

Maybe you should look inward to yourself if you're so vexed with me to call me silly names, that you can't handle the truth or the culture about why some companies like Netflix adopts this.

Peace.

Proof? All the downvotes you got and why your comments are barely visible and all the crying you did in your comments about getting downvoted.
