Netflix Eliminates About 1,000 Jobs in Biggest Cuts Since 2022
The layoffs affect product, tech, legal and human-resources teams as Netflix faces slower growth and stronger competition for viewers.
- On Wednesday, Netflix Inc. announced it is cutting 6% of its global staff, or about 1,000 positions, marking the streaming giant's largest round of layoffs since 2022, according to the Wall Street Journal.
- Co-Chief Executives Greg Peters and Ted Sarandos wrote in an email to employees on Wednesday that the company is struggling with slowing growth, prompting the workforce reduction.
- Product, tech, legal, and human-resources teams will bear the bulk of the cuts at Netflix, which employed about 16,000 full-time staff at the end of last year.
- These layoffs occur as Netflix faces intense competition in a consolidated media market, having lost a bidding war against Paramount Skydance for Warner Bros Discovery assets earlier this year.
- Expanding beyond its core subscription business, Netflix is investing in advertising, live programming, and gaming to diversify revenue streams in the increasingly consolidated media landscape.
