Blind spot for racism
Blind spot for racism
The engineers at Netflix are superb and brilliant.
They are, almost to a person, ethical and collaborative, intelligent and helpful without the attitude and condescension that has come to epitomize the valley.
They built this amazing platform that has redefined entertainment.
The company has a blind spot when it comes to racism by its senior leaders, who are directors and up, especially in the legal and PR teams.
The public revelation of a leader who was not fired even after using the "n-word" is not an aberration but part of a pattern.
These problems are non-existent in the diverse engineering org, but prevalent in non-technical teams that are fairly monochromatic.
Show zero tolerance for racism.
