The slide deck describing the culture at Netflix has some real gems (ht kottke.org).
For example, here are three elements of the company’s compensation practices:
Unlike many companies, we practice “adequate performance gets a generous severance package.” (slide 26)
Netflix vacation policy and tracking: “there is no policy or tracking” (“There is also no clothing policy at Netflix, but no one has come to work naked lately.”) (slide 68)
Big salary is the most efficient form of compensation. (No bonuses, no free stock options, etc.) (slide 106)
Well worth a read.

Except for not tracking hours worked, this appears to be the antithesis of how people are managed in the federal government.
