Netflix has introduced new anti-harassment training in the wake of the #metoo movement that rocked Hollywood and seriously disrupted production on its House of Cards show. New rules imposed on set reportedly include no looking at anyone for longer than five seconds, no lingering hugs, no flirting and no asking for a colleague’s phone number. “Everyone was spoken to about #MeToo,” an on-set runner currently working on the new season of Black Mirror told The Sun. “Senior staff went to a harassment meeting to learn what is and isn’t appropriate. Looking at anyone longer than five seconds is considered creepy.Word is that Netflix employees are having a hard time taking the rule seriously, and have been seen having staredowns in which they count to five and then quickly look away. That’s about how seriously you should expect a rule like this to be taken.
