What do you mean systems where you can never be away?

I agree AND I think there are some fundamental misunderstandings about Netflix’s approach that people try to implement poorly.  For instance I have seen people have open vacation policies and then set up their systems so people can never be away.

It all starts with a respect for the work that every single individual does for the organization.  If that respect exists, I find Netflix’s principles can work, but if it doesn’t then companies are wasting their time.

Easiest way to hire A players is to be a C player cause then you can hire Bs.
