Netflix Plans to Cut About 5 Percent of Workforce Amid Market Challenges
Netflix is reportedly planning to cut about 5 percent of its workforce, approximately 850 jobs, with an announcement expected as early as next week. This potential layoff follows a similar reduction in 2022 amid slowing subscriber growth and increased competition in the streaming market. Netflix is diversifying its revenue by investing in advertising, live programming, and gaming. The company has not publicly confirmed the layoffs, which come as it faces pressure to sustain audience engagement and improve its business outlook.
