Quartz reached out to Netflix to confirm whether the company, one of the most powerful new forces in Hollywood, had truly adopted a “no staring for more than five seconds rule.” A spokeswoman clarified there is no such “rule” at Netflix. However, she confirms that the recommendation was, in fact, discussed in an anti-harassment training session, though it’s not an official guideline.
So neither shithole nor insane.
Ok, I was mistaken it is not a rule, it was merely something discussed. I stand corrected.
Don’t be creepy. Simple rule to follow but some people need it spelled out, so among other things, don’t stare at someone for five seconds if you aren’t talking to them.
What if you suspect they are doing something bad(like stealing or something), and you are keeping an eye on them as a result?
