Hear from a Netflix engineer that during hike they are asked to come back with what market is offering and they go and interview at places. Whatever highest offer they get that is at least matched. I was like ... šŸ¤Ŗ

Amazon šŸ˜||šŸ˜† Sep 29, 2019

Low performers get cut? That sounds about right for paying top of the market, all cash.

Microsoft SnYL20 OP Sep 29, 2019

Seriously you are ok with it?

Netflix bloodline Sep 29, 2019

If they will pay you 450k+ all cash and be transparent about firing, its better than not knowing it

Microsoft SnYL20 OP Sep 29, 2019

Note that if our company experienced financial difficulty, we wouldnā€™t ask our employees to accept less pay. @netflix it is f***

Netflix BlndrThngs Sep 30, 2019

Their offer was double what I made at Microsoft, and they are upfront about expectations. Might not be your cup of tea but itā€™s mine.

Better to get a severance and time to look for a new job than putting you on a PIP and giving you false hope that you can turn things around... then realizing all that extra work you put in was for nothing because no amount of extra effort would have been enough. Haha, just kidding right?

Netflix loOQ032 Sep 30, 2019

If your manager is driven by ego, don't bother with the extra work. Take the severance. Move to me Mexico.

Microsoft SnYL20 OP Sep 29, 2019

What tomorrow all companies adopt this?

Netflix bloodline Sep 29, 2019

If you donā€™t like it, donā€™t join Netflix and thatā€™s it. Every company has its own things. Donā€™t know why you care

Microsoft SnYL20 OP Sep 29, 2019

I care because I was planning to interview.

People go though up and down in life. šŸ¤ÆšŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

Honestly, Iā€™d prefer that kind of cutthroat culture than working with slackers who never do their job and depend on others to do their work for them.

Microsoft leetfail Sep 29, 2019

Then why are you at MS, lol

Google poogers Sep 30, 2019

Translation: you'd rather work in a monoculture where everyone lives to work and no one has families.

Microsoft SnYL20 OP Sep 29, 2019

I am on board with this, but what about people struggle in their personal life. Life happens

Microsoft blankuname Sep 29, 2019

People with personal life problems usually take leave or maybe slow down for a few months or half a year, they donā€™t slow down with ā€œrest and vestā€ attitude like forever, and be like ā€œpass time at work and get some good moneyā€

Netflix laCasaDePa Sep 29, 2019

@snyl20: Talk with your manager and see what can be done? adjust expectations, time off, etc. Agreed with my colleague though, why do you care if you hate us so much...

Huh? This is how all businesses work. Maybe only the government has the ability to keep low performing employees. This isn't surprising to anyone is it? You wouldn't want the alternative where low performers are your peers would you?

Microsoft SnYL20 OP Sep 29, 2019

I know all companies are doing this in one or the other form. This is the part of the game, but writing it under culture section. Documenting firing philosophy with other details blew my mind.

Facebook public2 Sep 29, 2019

Still don't understand why? Most businesses value high performance.

Good deal. Get into pip and enjoy free money.
