  Don't worry, if Netflix starts to do too badly, they'll just layoff enough of the actual working people until they are turning a profit again, then he'll leave and get millions of dollars as a reward for his genius leadership that hurt the company's value and cost people jobs, only to be hired for millions somewhere else because of the bravery, tenacity, and forward-thinking he's shown at his time at netflix!
context: The Hasbro school of making an unpopular announcement, spending time clarifying that announcement, then pretending the announcement and time spent clarifying it was all just an accident. Is this the new corporate trend? >
  
  I’m not sure why they don’t do little surveys on the website or something like “if we did this would you still love us?” Would save a lot of embarrassment and probably some stock money >
  
  I've done a shitload of A/B testing and requesting user feedback just for things like where to put a button on a webpage. It's fucking wild to me if corporations are starting to take these kinds of risks with their brands without any sort of analysis. Then they follow up with PR statements sounding like a kid caught with their hand in the cookie jar. >
  
  The weird thing is that they did the analysis. They've been flirting with this idea for years, floating test balloons and preliminary announcements every eighteen months or so. And every time they even hinted at it, the backlash was instantaneous and overwhelmingly negative. 
  But they got a new CEO two weeks ago, so of course any analysis that was done before he took over must have been flawed, and his ludicrously dumb idea was the genius move that was going to save the company billions.
