This is brilliant. I especially appreciate Netflix willingness to say that bad hires happen and when you realize it, cut them loose – with a generous severance. On the other hand, it takes a huge amount of courage to step up and ask your boss how hard he would fight to keep you if an offer was made by another company.

All aspects of their culture require courage. I like it.

It is also interesting noting how many of these things seem like common-sense business skills and common-sense people skills.
Seems that if NETFLIX is so remarkable for valuing these, the rest of us probably work for places with substandard business & people skills.
