WSJ: What elements of the Netflix culture are tougher to maintain now that so many employees are working from home?

Mr. Hastings: Debating ideas is harder now.

WSJ: Have you seen benefits from people working at home?

Mr. Hastings: No. I don’t see any positives. Not being able to get together in person, particularly internationally, is a pure negative. I’ve been super impressed at people’s sacrifices.

WSJ: It’s been anticipated that many companies will shift to a work-from-home approach for many employees even after the Covid-19 crisis. What do you think?

Mr. Hastings: If I had to guess, the five-day workweek will become four days in the office while one day is virtual from home. I’d bet that’s where a lot of companies end up.

WSJ: Do you have a date in mind for when your workforce returns to the office?

Mr. Hastings: Twelve hours after a vaccine is approved.

WSJ: I like that.

Mr. Hastings: It’s probably six months after a vaccine. Once we can get a majority of people vaccinated, then it’s probably back in the office.

Do you agree or disagree?

    It’s actually interesting how it plays out. No company wants to be an outlier if others offer it. WFH easily trumps all on-campus perks for majority people.

    WFH is going fine but I prefer going to the office.

  • I think the answer is a hybrid. Work from the office minimum 2-3 days a week. Feel free to do more based on personal preference (many will). Give employees the flexibility to work remotely part of the time as long as their work output doesn’t suffer.

    Both camps (WFH and no WFH) can have a bit of what they want

    I want the option to do work from home for a day or two in the week but, would prefer to go to work. It’s not fun to work from home.
