“#Netflix fired three execs for griping about top brass on Slack<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Netflix has reportedly fired three senior marketing executives \u2014 about half its staff at that level \u2014 after they were caught secretly griping about upper management on Slack. <\/p>\n

What exactly was said in the chat hasn\u2019t been revealed, but it included criticism of chief marketing officer Bozoma Saint John, according to The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Saint John is black, but a source told THR there was nothing racist or disparaging to any particular community in the chat.<\/p>\n

Netflix nonetheless deemed the private messages to be inconsistent with its core values, according to the report, though a company spokesperson told the outlet, \u201cThe depiction of the Slack messages in question being critical of marketing leadership is untrue.\u201d<\/p>\n

The three offenders also criticized their immedia<\/a>te boss, VP of marketing for Netflix original films Jonathan Helfgot, who was reportedly reluctant to fire the three, arguing that they were just venting and it did not warrant firings.<\/p>\n

But Helfgot eventually relented to pressure from higher-ups, according to The Hollywood Reporter. <\/p>\n

The episode underscores Netflix\u2019s somewhat unique cultural emphasis on radical transparency in the workplace. <\/p>\n

Under the heading \u201cReal Values\u201d on its job website,<\/a> Netflix says, \u201cYou only say things about fellow employees that you say to their face.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis attribute is one of the hardest for new people to believe \u2014 and to learn to practice. In most situations, both social and work, those who consistently say what they really think about people are quickly isolated and banished,\u201d the company adds on its site. \u201cWe work hard to get people to give each other professional, constructive feedback \u2014 up, down and across the organization \u2014 on a continual basis.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir culture is all about transparency and giving feedback,\u201d one source told The Hollywood Reporter. \u201cIt would make sense that there should be no need for private conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another source familiar with the thinking of Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos told the outlet that Sarandos believes private griping to be \u201ca firing offense because it\u2019s destructive to the fabric of the company.\u201d<\/p>\n
