Report: Netflix Bans Employees from Looking at Each Other for More Than Five Seconds
National Review ^ | June 14, 2018 | Katherine Timpf

This is completely ridiculous and could end up hurting more than it helps. Netflix has reportedly banned workers from looking at each other for more than five seconds as part of its new anti-harassment rules.

The new policy also bans the company’s film crews from asking their colleagues for their phone numbers, according to an article in the Sun.

“Senior staff went to a harassment meeting to learn what is and isn’t appropriate,” an on-set runner told the Sun. “Looking at anyone longer than five seconds is considered creepy.”

Nope.

It’s probably cumulative.

That’s alright. About a month ago, I banned them from getting any more of my money.

Just wait until the discrimination lawsuits start flying when the company doesn’t enforce extended staring bans on certain individuals such as a supervisor or vendor. This is too hilarious

Well, if someone stares for 5 seconds, can they then look away for one second and then re-start the 5 second clock so that they can continue to stare at the person for another 5 seconds? Ad Infinitum?

Wait a minute, what if they are THINKING about another associate?

"I can tell that so and so was thinking offensive/racist/abusive/perverted things about me! I feel unsafe!"

A former phb-ette probably worships pickles. She was evil and it wasn’t only my opinion.

How can you tell an introvert Nerd from an extrovert Nerd?

An introvert Nerd stares at his shoes.

An extrovert Nerd stares at your shoes.

Shades of the Hays Code 3 second kiss limit.

Oh, the irony that these tools have to implement in real life the rules that they ridiculed and denigrated in the cinema.
