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 companys 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 isnt appropriate, an on-set runner told the Sun. Looking at anyone longer than five seconds is considered creepy.
You mustnt ask for someones number unless they have given permission for it to be distributed, the source continued. And if you see any unwanted behaviour, report it immediately.

this is going to make for some awkward moments for the casts of their various programs. How do you have dramatic dialogue if your cast cannot look at each other?

They’re gonna need to hire more Finns.
You know how to tell if you’re dealing with a Finnish extrovert?
He spends the entire conversation staring at YOUR shoes.

That must make staff meetings interesting, what with the lack of eye contact with people during discussions.
Staff meetings will (perhaps) be conducted via smartphones/tablets/PC screens, where an attendee will be allowed to look at the other speakers/attendees without any time limits.
One on one meetings and conversations will be conducted via face-time and Duo and Skype and other such smartphone apps.

If I had any money I’d invest in whatever company offers cutting edge body cams.
No one will believe your story that ‘ nothing happened / no, I was not staring / I never told her a dirty joke ‘ in the very near future ( about a week from now ).
But with the right digital footage you might be able to save your professional life.
American society has completely lost it’s mind.

Pensacola Christian College has these kinds of rules. Any physical contact with a member of the opposite sex, even incidental, results in expulsion. Looking at a member of the opposite sex is frowned upon, and is referred to as “making eye babies”. No, this is not one of those SJW indoctrination centers, it’s way off in the other direction, Independent Fundamentalist Baptist to the extreme. PCC even calls Bob Jones University a bunch of heretics.
