Netflix Eliminates About 1,000 Jobs in Biggest Cuts Since 2022
- On Wednesday, Netflix co-chiefs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters announced the company will cut 1,000 employees, representing about 6% of its workforce, as part of a restructuring to reduce costs.
- Netflix revenue growth has slowed to 11.9% as audience engagement stalls, prompting the cuts. Media analyst Craig Huber warned that a "lack of breakout content" makes it difficult to retain subscribers and add new users.
- Film division leader Doug Belgrad and original TV series director Carolina Garcia were among those let go. Belgrad, a former Sony Pictures executive, had managed major projects including Frankenstein and Animals.
- While the cuts hit creative leadership, they fell more heavily on tech, legal, human resources, and product departments at Netflix. Rich Leist, Director of Unscripted Casting, and Amy Cohen, Director, Nonfiction Series, were also impacted.
- Reporting financial results on Oct 20, Netflix expects sales to climb 11.9% this year. Co-CEOs Sarandos and Peters stated the business remains strong and on track to deliver full-year forecasts despite the restructuring.
