Thanks for the perspective. I got the impression that the employee writing the review was actually a poor performer that was disgruntled. I saw the slides on Netflix culture a couple years ago and was personally inspired by them. I've spent too many years working in corporate America, where poor performers are rarely if ever managed out of the workforce. Instead, they are put on PIPs (personal improvement plans) and everything possible is done to prevent the dreaded "lawyering up" and lawsuit for wrongful termination.

Corporate America has become so risk-adverse that they would rather keep poor performers around indefinitely, drawing a paycheck, than risk a single wrongful termination lawsuit. Also, those poor performers are masterful at avoiding work. For example, they keep printouts of every email "just in case," and play games like "you didn't ask me to do that in writing, so that's why I didn't do it."

If the glassdoor review in the article was really correct, don't you think Netflix would have been sued into oblivion already? That's why I don't think the reviewer is being honest about the reasons why he was terminated.
