Remember the Democrat national convention when God was mentioned and many people in the audience gave a loud boo? Makes you wonder what has been happening in the upper echelons of the Democrat party.
Keep watching. Its a sad story.
Netflix is beyond weird all by themselves.
The executive in question, Jonathan Friedland, “sunshined” his misdeed—Netflix lingo for an apology or act of transparency in front of colleagues—in the hopes it would blow over. It didn’t. After anger bubbled up in the ranks, Mr. Hastings fired Mr. Friedland in June, and sent a companywide email saying he had come to grips with his own “privilege.”
Employees are encouraged to give one another blunt feedback. Managers are all told to apply a “keeper test” to their staff—asking themselves whether they would fight to keep a given employee—a mantra for firing people who don’t fit the culture and ensuring only the strongest survive.
The firings can be insensitive, several former employees said. Ernie Tam, who had worked as a Netflix engineer for six years, was called into his manager’s office on a Monday morning in 2015. “You’re no longer a star performer,” the manager said. An HR representative came in, discussed Mr. Tam’s severance package and took his laptop. “I just left the office and never came back,”
New employees soon learn to speak Netflix. The lingo includes phrases like “What is your north star,” “highly aligned, loosely coupled,” and “context, not control.”
“If you don’t use that lingo on a daily basis, you’re not going to succeed,” said one Netflix short-timer.

Or JZ Knight. Remember when someone else started “channeling” her Ramtha? She sued.
Mommy, how did that man get a goat’s head?
Well dear, remember the story of the Minotaur? This is similar, when a Arabian goat herder felt real lonely one night and this good looking nanny happened to walk by...
Sorry ... never heard of her ... until now. What a weirdo.
Wow, that’s a keeper. Although, I would have chosen the picture where she makes that funny face where it looks like she’s sucking in her cheeks and her eyeballs are about to pop out. Of course there are so many scary looking pictures of her.
