Color me dubious on this fella's assertions after his tirade against remote work.

Does anyone know if they also pay analysts and product owner types better than market rates?

Lots of marketing coming from the Netflix CEO lately. Anyone notice a similar trend?

I have the same feeling. After he said he sees no any benefit of remote work, I stopped being interested in anything he has to say.

Whether or not one agrees with him... It's not really inconsistent to pay people at the top range but that comes with an expectation of being shown the door if they don't perform at the top levels and coming into an office to work because that's better for the company (in Hastings' view).

They can't be paying "above market rates". They're just selecting a higher-priced product from the market.

I used that terminology because they seem to be an outlier. Surely it's possible to pay more than anyone else on purpose.
