>"We model ourselves on being a professional sports team, not a family. A family is about unconditional love. A dream team is about pushing yourself to be the best possible teammate, caring intensely about your team, and knowing that you may not be on the team forever"

Why would I care about being "best possible teammate" which basically translates to sacrifice your own financial interests to feed the owners and be laid off at first opportunity. Fuck that. Well unless of course they pay a ton and guarantee X amount of months/years.

As it turns out, they do both. They pay a ton and give you a large severance if they let you go.


Then it is all nice and fair. I knew the other company where the bosses were singing about "being a player" but they would screw a "team player" over as soon as it would save them another buck.

You absolutely shouldn’t care about it! And if you don’t care about it, Netflix doesn’t want you to work there. It’s a win win.


Fair. But as the previous replay says that Netflix actually compensates very well my argument is then mute.
