My current company literally uses the same slide deck - stolen directly from Netflix - and failed to mention that the professional sports team they're run like is the Sacramento Kings or the Detroit Lions. More realistically, given the lack of cuts to the bottom rung of talent (and those with a complete lack thereof) and the lack of promotion to those with talent in spades: they're running it like a JV soccer team. Not saying Netflix isn't cutthroat, but it's entirely possible to call this out and then also have layoffs be big news.
