Why Netflix Offers Workers Unlimited Vacation

Reed Hastings, chairman, co-chief executive officer and co-founder of Netflix Inc., explains why the company lets employees take vacation whenever they want and says the policy has been very productive. Hastings appears on the latest episode of "The David Rubenstein Show: Peer-to-Peer Conversations." The interview was recorded on August 4.

Unlimited Vacation. “Take it if you dare”

[@bradwilks2]

Like taking the last piece of pizza.

[@penacs]

@@bradwilks2 Very accurate

[@silotx]

By removing the limit you make people antagonize each other even more , so if the rest of my colleagues are taking 10 days off per year then i can't take more days since my productivity will suffer and i will never get that promotion , so i might as well take less days off , then my colleagues take even less days off and we reach a point when no one is really taking time off unless it is something extremely important. Same goes with removing the standard 9-5 work day , you have people working 14 hours a day in order to reach a big goal and get promoted and you might argue that if you don't want a promotion you don't need to put in 14 hours a day but then if the average is lets say 10 hours a day and everyone working there are pretty intelligent people, you can't just work less hours because you will seem like the odd one out not reaching the insane goals that everyone else is reaching because they work all day and you will eventually get fired.

[@kriptonis]

That's not really unlimited vacation. It's "unlimited but". That's what companies do when they see a cool idea they want to use but don't really want to change their culture, so they pretend they are down with this new cool idea but only the names change, everything stays the same. As Rubenstein says, not every company can work as Netflix, and on the same line of though, not every role on the company can have 13 weeks vacation per year.

When your livelihood depends on keeping your boss happy with you, and there's no clear guidelines on vacation time or even the dress code, you're going to play it incredibly safe so as not to upset your boss. That's a much worse situation than working somewhere that guarantees a set number of vacation days. When everyone is clear on how long you can take off, your employer is less likely to get pissed with you for taking that time off (not that it stops some of them. Even in the set vacation days set up your boss might be pissed with the timing and try and get rid of you for that).

[@whyisgamora4191]

@@yuxasaba7920 Ignore the ''If you take too much time off, you'll get fired'' part. Just think about this. A system without proper guidelines for vacations will create a very unhealthy work environment between employees because all of them will be competing to take as few vacation days as possible to work for that promotion, and if someone does take days off they will be harshly judged by the rest of the employees who do not. That's literally what's happening at Netflix, ask anyone who works there. Regulatory vacation days are SO much better than unlimited vacation days, because the unlimited vacation days actually just make it even more difficult and stressful to actually take them.

You'll probably be fired if you abuse it, and so this may lead you to hardly use it at all, because you can never know how much is too much. It's much better to work at a place that guarantees a lot of vacation days that you can arrange for whenever you want, than to be on vacation, constantly worried about whether or not each day is one day too many in the eyes of your boss. To use the example in the video, think about workplaces that say "dress how you like". You can't actually dress exactly how you would like in case it offends anyone with the ability to fire you. Obviously no-one's gonna show up naked, but we can't be sure on the individual sensibilities of our bosses so most will still dress cautiously. When there aren't clearly defined rules and your livelihood depends on the job, there's a lot of pressure there. Even if your boss can't fire you for taking your vacation days, they'll find some over trumped up charge to get rid of you or otherwise make your work life suck.

The real answer is to abolish the idea that 40 hours per week = full time. Companies have reduced their requirement for salaried employees down to as low as 4 hours per day (instead of 8) and actually seen productivity rise because (presumably) A: it's easier to focus harder for shorter periods of time and B: employees are incentivised to be more productive during those shorter hours because they know the alternative is to get sent back to the mandatory 8+ per day like the rest of us schlubs.

Someone pls join Netflix and take 364 days off pls Just for the memes

You'd be fired in a week.

Inspiration over supervision. Best phrase !

[@takayasweeney]

Those perks are only for the bosses buddies, cronies & the “uppers”...I can GUARANTEE the receptionist/HR folks aren’t allowed to use it. Those special people come late, leave early, sneak out when the boss is off, take 2-3 hour lunches WITHOUT clients, use Work-From-Home as “off” days...just all kinds of FUCKERY...but let one of the “underlings” try ANY of that and you’re gone. It’s USUALLY the women in the office who don’t get to use the benefits as well, as it’s mostly women in those “lowly” but extremely necessary positions. Ya, know, the essential employees of an office.😑 I’ve been there w/these PHONY “perks”.

We need more people like him in the work place. Too many jobs are still using the same ethic from the 50's

[@chiuansheng]

Sure. You can choose when there is a vacation , but your boss can decide who will be expelled, So Who wants to ask for leave now? Go ahead Give it a try. I have a lot of fools who come for this unlimited VACATION to apply for a job. also you can work as much as you want, just make sure you finish these 50 movies by Monday.

New Method... "Focused on Inspiration over Supervision ..."

[@chryssesandchaos]

Unlimited, but would still depend on your supervisor or manager and on other things.

[@mailamaia761]

I worked for a company that offered more days off, but only for those who worked more, announced it as a reward and a new company policy, I remember thinking it was strange that each one had a different number of days available , we only discovered after the next payment, when the overtime was gone, that "the hours were replacement for missed days" and so the company would not have to pay overtime. My colleague cried he was relying on overtime money. I resigned was the best thing!

[@digwillhachi]

No supervision - makes cuties. What can go wrong.

[@genericusername8337]

It's a lie. Don't take it at face value. You can google what it's like to work at netflix, even just read the comments under this video. It's not like it seems.

[@mimiayako]

Netflix didn't "make" Cuties. They bought the rights of distribution for everywhere except France (iirc). Sure, that trailer AND the poster/thumbnail is 100% on Netflix but just like Suicide Squad's trailer, I'd take it with a grain of salt. Movie's not even out yet.

[@digwillhachi]

@@mimiayako well it is out and is way worse than it looked, but hey you defend pedos if that's your thing.

Micromanage exists everywhere it’s just putting the things differently. At the end of day, company will keep you, if your ROI is good. Good thing is they’re providing flexibility of work.

[@elvisisalive2716]

Do they provide child pornography for employees or just subscribers ?

Something tells me only the higher management gets to take advantage of this policy

Why Netflix is not offering free passwords for unlimited watching

[@HobokenSquatCobbler]

I worked for a small company that originally had generous vacation benefits. Company sold to new owner who instituted "unlimited time off" and all it did was reduce productivity and increase inter-employee friction. Some key people took LOTS of time off and really caused problems with work flow. New owner didn't even seem to notice or care. Unlimited vacation might work for some companies but certainly not with ours.

[@tjtheo5280]

whats more important is that the HR needs to discover those who are not using any vacations and engage them towards choosing a time for vacation and even plan/advice on vacation. Workers especially IT Staffs quickly forget to take care of themselves, We are used to thinking our work is not troublesome but our brain processes more electricity than most people in the world. it will not be detectable when we break down due to work. I encourage everyone out there to work responsibly.

[@herocity1165]

And this is why they have every up-and-coming director and every established director trying to do work with them. It's extremely difficult to make a film and the money people aren't necessarily creative people Netflix understands this and give these people a clear sandbox to play in

[@darthnihilus9502]

Unlimited Vacation does that mean I'm Fired 😂

[@terenarosa4790]

Now their vacations are going to be permanent after the boycott.

[@Trackrace29582]

People aren’t boycotting. Don’t be naive. Cuties should be taken off but they aren’t losing money

[@CyclingUrchin]

faiz abbas actually the amount of people who have cancelled their accounts is enough that it would lose Netflix a noticeable amount of money

[@twes619]

Any company that releases "Cuties" is not a place I'd ever want to work or subscribe to their products and services. 👎

[@theadrenalizedartist6843]

I worked at another company years ago like this. Taking vacation leaves tons of unfinished work there, so to keep from having a huge backlog waiting people seldom took vacation. The other thing is this: when you leave you are not paid for vacation you didn’t take in a company like this.

[@cineverseproductions]

Seems like video was recorded on Zoom where Reed is sitting in a Airbnb room with that they are discussing about Netflix and afterwards they uploaded the video on KZbin. 🤙

That movie should be taken down Its so inapropriate, I have a daughter and i would not want her to dance or act or even see this movie. TAKE IT DOWN

[@nonyabidness5708]

Netflix: Y'all can have unlimited vacation. Also Netflix: We're okay with child pornography and because of that we're going to have to let some of y'all go because apparently America still has some standards. #WhoKnew? #CancelNetflix

[@cumulus1791]

Obviously you have not seen "Mignonnes"/"Cuties".. the movie actually denounces hyper sexualization of childrens. It's ABOUT that ! This hashtag ("cancel netflix") is just full of ignorance 🤦‍♀️ What will it be next time ? #CancelNetflix because in this horror movie people kill other people.. #CancelNetflix because this movie ABOUT bullying has some bullying scenes..

[@nonyabidness5708]

@MechanYex ABANDONED Exactly!!! It's like making a movie about how murder is wrong and actually murdering people on film. 🙄. I've tried to reply to Cumulus several times about the absolute degradation of those children in the clips I have seen, but YT keeps blocking my comments. Apparently just describing the acts are bad enough to get your comment banned!

Did I miss where they said if it was paid vacating or not?
