 Questions:
How has the current cultural environment of our country shaped the way that companies are looking at their own corporate cultural standards?
What are the potential downfalls and positive influences of the “Netflix way”?
How does Netflix’s internal culture negatively or positively affect its ability to stay competitive and deliver cutting-edge content?
 
Today’s news is littered with scandals, new allegations of sexual assault, and tragedy. Since 2017 and the #metoo movement, stemming from the Harvey Weinstein scandal, more and more public figures have been put into the spotlight to defend themselves against allegations from women around the globe.
Not only publicly, but privately in companies around the world, there have been firings and investigations into misconduct from coworkers, managers, and CEOs. It is a relevant topic that is getting long-overdue publicity and encouraging more men and women to come forward to discuss openly rather than hide the events and injustices of the past. Other events showcase the tumultuous and on-edge society we are living in, such as the Charlottesville, VA, attack that left one dead and 19 injured when a person drove a car through a crowd of protestors during a white nationalist gathering.
With unanticipated events on a daily business, it is important for companies to take a stand against racial hatred and harassment of any kind, and to have firm policies when such events occur. Take Netflix, for example, who in July 2018 fired their chief communications officer for saying the “N-word” in full form. This event occurred during an internal meeting in which the speaker was not directing the slur at anyone specific but claimed it was being made as an emphatic point about offensive words in comedy programming. The “Netflix way,” the culture that is built around radical candor and transparency, was put to the test during this occurrence.
The offender, Jonathan Friedland, attempted to apologize for his misdeed, hoping it would fade away and his apology would be accepted. However, it didn’t work that way; instead, the anger was palpable between coworkers and eventually led to the firing of Friedland after a few months of inaction.
Netflixers are given a high level of freedom and responsibility within their “Netflix way” culture. Blunt feedback is encouraged, and trust and discretion are the ultimate gatekeeper, as employees have access to sensitive information and are ultimately trusted for how they expense items and take vacation time.
In the insanely fast-paced streaming-services industry, it is hard to keep this culture at a premium, but it is imperative for the success of the company overall. “As you scale a company to become bigger and bigger, how do you scale that kind of culture?” said Colin Estep, a former senior engineer who left voluntarily in 2016. “I don’t know that we ever had a good answer.”
In order to keep up, sometimes the company is seen as harsh in their tactics to keep the best of the best. “I think we’re transparent to a fault in our culture and that can come across as cutthroat,” said Walta Nemariam, an employee in talent acquisition at Netflix.
Netflix has stayed true to their cultural values despite the pressures and sometimes negative connotations associated with this “cutthroat” environment. Their ability to remain agile, while displaying no tolerance for societal injustices, puts them at the forefront of new-age companies. It is a difficult pace to stay in line with, but it seems that they are keeping in stride and remaining true to who they are, for now.

When you’re searching for contractors, consultants, business partners, software, and hardware, what are some methods you use? Be very specific and detailed in how you research these resources and give more than one example (contractor and software search, for example).

What method do you use for keeping track of your contacts and leads?

Once you have a list of resources, how do you decide which to recommend to your company to select for your project? (If you have never done this, research a methodology and report on how you plan to do it.)

If you are selecting contractors, consultants, or other human resources, recommend an interview process and gather the costs.
If you are looking at software, hardware, or other non-human resources, talk about how you determine the most value to the company for the money. The company is making an investment; how do you determine the best investment for the greatest return? (Be specific on the methodology you use or would use.)

After responding to the above, write an additional paragraph on why you think your recommendation should be followed and how you can be confident that your recommendation is best for your organization.

Part 1
Before you begin working on this discussion post, please make sure that you have read the Week 1 readings!
Welcome to Padgett-Beale and your first week as a management intern.
The Chief of Staff will be hosting a working lunch this week for your group of interns. In addition to the usual introductions and “getting to know you” discussions, you’ve been advised that there will be a discussion of the following article.

Seasonal Employee Security Risks: Present Danger, Proactive Defense

Each intern has been asked to write and bring a discussion paper containing their written responses to the following questions:
What steps can (should) managers take to reduce security risks associated with hiring seasonal or temporary employees? (Consider whether or not the Secure Computer User training course would be appropriate for these employees.)
 How can managers show leadership in the area of cybersecurity defenses and best practices?
Consider the ways in which these types of companies are likely to use seasonal employees and the types of digital assets / information to which these temporary employees may have access.
Part 2
  Responding to Guest Concerns about Cyberattacks 
 
your internship assignment is with the company’s Guest Relations office.
You have been asked to draft a letter to guests to address concerns about the impacts of possible cyberattacks. Recently there have been news reports describing cyberattacks on the hospitality industry. This letter should reassure guests that the company is taking positive steps to protect guest privacy. Consider the technical and people perspectives.
There are legal requirements for such a letter. This  Data Security Breach Notice Letter guidance document from Hutnik, Kelley Drye & Warren LLP provides guidance for companies facing the need to write notification letters.
Consider the required “tone” for such a letter. The letter must be factual but, more importantly, it is necessary to show an appropriate amount of empathy and understanding for the recipient’s feelings. Empathy and emotional intelligence are important leadership skills for managers.
To learn more about emotional intelligence, read this definition of Emotional Intelligence.  Then, read about three types of empathy: https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-empathy-2795562
The letter should be between 200-250 words and written concisely so the explanation is clear and not overly technical. The point is to ensure guests that the situation is under control and that you’ve taken steps to make sure they can feel confident that their information is safe. Remember accountability and empathy in your letter.
Part 3
 Cybersecurity Issues for Business Travelers 
 Post your initial response of at least 150 words 
Here  interns are reflecting on cybersecurity issues that must be considered when employees travel for business. In your opinion, what are the security issues associated the technologies (cell phones, computers, etc.) used when traveling? In your opinion, is there a false sense of security that this is only a concern with international travel? 
Part 4
 Privacy Policies & Compliance Issues 
 Post your initial response of at least 150 words 
 
After completing the course readings for the week, do additional research into the potential privacy, data security, and liability issues facing companies similar to Padgett-Beale. Find an event within the past three years that describes an issue related to this week’s course material and describe the event. And then, provide your opinion on what should be done to make sure it doesn’t happen again? For example, did the event result from a potential lack of employee training? If so, what type of training would you recommend? 
For examples of guest privacy policies, please see these resources:

Padgett-Beale’s Corporate Security Office has recently completed an investigation into how a competitor may have obtained copies of the confidential architectural drawings and design plans for a new type of resort that the company had planned for a recently acquired island property. It is suspected that an Advanced Persistent Threat mechanism may have been used to exfiltrate information.
In your opinion, what processes and procedures should be used to discourage or make it difficult for employees, managers, and executives to inadvertently misuse and/or steal the company’s intellectual property (consider data classification and marking, separation of duties, and least privilege).

Part 1
  Quick Start Guides 
 
write a quick start guide.  This discussion topic is designed to help you become more familiar with what a quick start guide is and what its function is in technical writing.
To learn about quick start guides, please examine the three resources provided in Content in week 3:
What is a Quickstart Guide?
Quick Reference Guides Right Where You Need Them
Technical Writing Tips: The 80/20 Rule
You might also benefit from looking at the Sample Quick Start Guides in Learning Resources in week 3.  While these quick start guides are longer than the one you will be writing, they present different strategies for incorporating text and images to accommodate their users.
Then answer the following questions.  Your answers can be 2-3 sentences:
Most quick start guides are one page long. They have to be one page so that the user can look at them at a glance. What are some of the challenges to reducing a set of instructions of, for example, 3-4 pages into one page?
How does the 80/20 rule relate to the usefulness of quick start guides?
In your experience, when you purchase a product or a new piece of software, do you tend to use the user manual more, or do you tend to use the quick start guide more? Why?
