“Netflix employees banned from looking at each other for longer than 5sec” https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/06/netflix-five-second-staring-rule/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Timpf Is this for real??! Or just fake news?
You mean I can’t stare at nude girls in sex scene production for more than 5 seconds? What if I’m the camera man?
5 seconds sounds short, but feels like an eternity if someone is burning holes through you with their eyes. Idk that shouting "STOP. DON'T DO THAT AGAIN!" is an appropriately sized reaction though.
Just blink every 5 secs no big deal
problem solved 👌
What about managerial one on ones ?
Or like any conversation
Now i know why my cut told me Never use Netflix, the company is whacked and controlling of people. proud to have never rented a dvd or streamed movies from them over the years.
Lmfao this is some crazy shit. Imagine one day you’re just staring unfocused some random direction thinking about a problem and the next you’re getting an email saying you’re under investigation for looking at someone too long. HR must be running out of things to do and wants to do some hiring.
Do you seriously think that's what this guideline is about?
No, obviously it’s about crazy people staring at you. I’m remarking how ridiculous it is to for HR to get involved over something this petty and easily misconstrued. People should grow up and confront people interpersonally instead of putting these nanny HR rules in place.

We’re proud of the anti-harassment training we offer to our productions. We want every Netflix production to be a safe and respectful working environment. We believe the resources we offer empower people on our sets to speak up, and shouldn’t be trivialised."
If the culture believes in freedom and responsibility, everyone is a grownup, then this 5 second rule seems too specific to follow.
The five second rule does seem very specific and a little harsh; however, reading the other rules, they all seem very reasonable and even lenent. They allow you to ask a fellow employee out, though just once, but I've known companies that have specified never to ask another coworker out.
