I appreciate the philosophy of getting rid of HR rules in favor of treating people like adults with good judgement. However, good judgement is probably one of those things whose definition is open to disagreement. E.G. one person's good judgement might mean taking risks and another's might mean playing it safe. Is Netflix just forming a monoculture of people with the same definition of good judgement.

Also, it's interesting that the writer validates Netflix's efforts by saying the company's stock went up, 3 Emmys were won, and the firm acquired a bunch of new customers. Are employees expected to optimizing these metrics, first and foremost, which seem very short sighted to me? What about fundamentals like profitability and customer retention?
