A comment on At Netflix, Radical Transparency and Blunt Firings Unsettle the Ranks. Parent comment
Absolutely! Which is why people do get fired all the time if they rub their managers or the rest of the team in the wrong way.
That's why making blanket statements that "all our firings are due to pure performance reasons" is such a blatant lie.
I'd like to see the manager who puts up with someone they just personally dislike, for the most mundane reasons, every single day, for months.
The article states that upper management also encourages managers to fire employees, which makes this decision just a little easier and more likely.
