Netflix Bans Employees from Looking at Each Other for More Than Five Seconds

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.”

“You mustn’t ask for someone’s number unless they have given permission for it to be distributed,” the source continued. “And if you see any unwanted behaviour, report it immediately.”

"Mommy! He's looking at me!" Infantile.

Five second rule!

How long can food be on the floor before you can’t pick it up and eat it?

[LydiaLong]

What if a guy is wall-eyed?

[petitfour]

Imagine if a school had such a rule for students. LOL

That must make staff meetings interesting, what with the lack of eye contact with people during discussions.

[fwdude]

And in meetings?

These people are going to exterminate themselves.

Yea,, I wonder tf the Giant Mooch and Odumbass had a say it that rule? I’m saying Yes

Frankly, I don’t see why Netflix employees should even be allowed to have eyes.

Cats feel threatened by prolonged eye contact.

Ergo, Netflix employees are pussies.

odd that she is writing a column on a staring prohibition. and if you don’t immediately know why it’s odd, just google “kat timpf”.

How much longer and how much further can this stupidity go on???

[LydiaLong]

What if you’re having a conversation with someone? Do you have to look away every 5 seconds?

In the ‘70s, a goofy guy I worked with used to look me up and down for much longer than five seconds, and then say, “Read my mind.” LOL! That was just before he said, “You’ve got a great set of pegs.” I must’ve been harassed, and all I did was laugh. Go figure.

This country is insane. Truly bonkers.

Will there be stopwatches available at strategic locations?

Next up, employees banned from thinking impure thoughts about coworkers. Thought Police to monitor via Alexa.

And to avoid the 5 second rule in meetings, a doll will be provided with eyes that light up every 4 seconds, at which point meeting participants must look at the doll for one second at which point its eyes go dark.
