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.”

But.... but they are actively SHOWING FILMS with people looking at each other, and INTO CAMERAS, even, as a part of their business!! It’s like the tobacco companies asking their employees not to smoke!
“Good question. Is there a cumulative time clock?”

The jokes just write themselves on this ridiculous topic.
.
Is there a limit to how many 5 second gazes you can take in a minute? Or an hour?
Who is the Official Time Keeper for these glances?
Staff meetings must be hilarious. “Everyone take your seats and stare down at your lap...”
Very Hillary Clintonesque except hers is no looking at her at all.
What if the stare police stares at the starer more than 5 seconds?

Well that’s true. The Stare Police would have to be staring at the starer more than 5 seconds to know that he was staring more than 5 seconds. Perhaps we need a Stare Force to monitor the Stare Police.
Going to put a crimp on sex at the office guess blind folds will be required.
In middle school we would just say “take a picture, it lasts longer” if someone was staring at us.
Maybe they should have a “human interaction at grade school level” training day for their employees instead of trying to police this stupid rule.
Gonna make for an interesting, yet unproductive, workday...
Myrna Loy’s face is the best in all of those. The thing I can’t figure out about women - that sociopathy.
They can turn it on and off.

Just like some celebrities and politicians don’t want the lower classes to look at them.
Maybe with less staring they can concentrate more on getting better than Z-grade movies on their streaming service...
LOL. Yup.
I’ll give her this: She does that very well, LOL.
It was freaky the first time I saw one of her videos.
[Is there a limit to how many 5 second gazes you can take in a minute? Or an hour?]
No more than 12 per minute.
Or 720 per hour! ;)
Good question!
Whew, I can still work at Netflix then. Cause I blink every 4 seconds.
One of the benefits of being an “ass man”!
