Richard Branson hit the UK news recently with some comment/statement/assertion about his employees not having set vacation limits or a policy to follow. Unsurprisingly, it reminded me of the Netflix HR non-policy slides that hit the tech sphere a few years back. I was interested in how Branson's take was one thin slice of a bigger picture articulated by Netflix. Assuming that the Netflix model works, would taking one part of it in isolation work? Probably not.
