Always Keep A Redundant Backup
- Keep two of everything important so you never run out or get stranded.
- Buy duplicates and replace when down to one to maintain continuous availability.
Companies Value Present Contribution
- Netflix treats employees as valuable only while they deliver immediate value.
- That culture prioritizes present output over long-term employee security.
Leave Took Away Her Job
- A top performer took extended leave and discovered Netflix had redesigned her role away while she was gone.
- She ended up without a job despite being told to take the time she needed.
