I am reading the book about netflix culture. It discusses their feedback culture where everyone specially managers are trained to be receptive of feedbacks . In my current company, managers just say they want feedback but in reality they will retaliate against you even if you make a very constructive feedback ( our HR fully support managers and allow such retaliation, help managers create a paper trail against employees, and force outspoken employees out). I am very interested in how netflix culture seems to be different. I was wondering is this book just a corporate propaganda or is it actually true how people are open and honest about feedback? #culture #netflix #workplace
You really think HR will protect you if your manager decides to witch-hunt after you give a feedback they don’t like?
I think i was naive. HR fully supports managers who are not competent
It's the same story in Amazon. Disagreeing with managers and showing it hurts you.
Just BS. Ask the folks who got fired after giving feedback.
It's better than most companies for sure. There are skip 1on1 and 360 feedback so it's not like the manager can do anything they want. Their job is at risk if multiple reports provide the same feedback. Middle management have a higher let go rate than IC.
What is the process for a manager to fire an employee? How many daya does it usually take to fire someone once manager has made a decision? Does he need to take feedback from others and permission from skip level?
I don't have that visibility. But I can say most fires I observed were due to poor performance.
Google has best employee culture. Managers are considered coaches to just support team and engineers are considered assets.
I think manager can just fire you if you say or do something really stupid. Not sure what checks and balances Netflix has for it. It can't be HR because they are there just to protect the company.
I do not know in other companies but in my company if you provide negative feedback for your manager, the manager can easily fire you for that. HR says thry protect against retaliation which is a lie because even if you show HR the proof that manager was lying, they still support manager
I have never seen anyone saying HR helped them against the manager or company in my multi decade career. I will be really surprised if Netflix is an exception in that respect
