Reed Hastings takes six weeks of vacation a year
To make sure he doesn’t get burnt out and to set an example for his employees, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings takes six weeks of vacation every year. While Netflix employees are offered unlimited vacation days, Hastings hopes that by him taking advantage of this policy, others will follow suit. “You often do your best thinking when you’re off hiking in some mountain or something,” Hastings once told CNBC. “You get a different perspective on things.”
