To say “no brilliant jerks” is not libertarian would only be true if it was forced. Socialism is fine with me, so long as I can say ‘no thanks’.

“Do what is best for Netflix, not for yourself”

“No brilliant jerks”

These do not sound libertarian. :)

Oh wait:

“No vacation plan”

Sorry, non-libertarian complaint withdrawn. :)

But always remember what the great Judge Smails said, “Well, the world needs ditch diggers, too.” Our society isn’t set up to populate a world full of these companies with independent thinkers driven to succeed — too many have been educated in government factories from K-12.
