Netflix Plans Largest Layoffs Since 2022, Cutting 1,000 Jobs Amid Slowing Growth
Netflix is cutting about 1,000 jobs, roughly 6 percent of its global workforce, marking its largest layoffs since 2022. The reductions will mainly affect product, technology, legal, and human resources teams. The move comes amid slowing subscriber growth, weakening viewer engagement, and increased competition from rivals like YouTube and other streaming platforms. Co-CEOs Greg Peters and Ted Sarandos emphasized the need to prioritize resources while continuing to invest in high-impact areas. The layoffs precede Netflix's upcoming quarterly earnings report.
