Netflix Plans Largest Layoffs Since 2022, Cutting 1,000 Jobs Amid Slower GrowthPreviousNext

Netflix is cutting about 1,000 jobs, or 6 percent of its global workforce, marking its largest layoffs since 2022. The reductions mainly affect product, technology, legal, and human resources teams. Co-CEOs Greg Peters and Ted Sarandos cited slowing growth, increased competition, and the need to prioritize resources for future investments in live programming, ads, and gaming. Despite the cuts, Netflix maintains its business is strong and expects to meet its full-year financial forecast ahead of its upcoming quarterly earnings report.
