Netflix dă afară aproape 1.000 de oameni: concedierile vin pe fondul creșterii profitului

Netflix is laying off about 6% of its workforce, nearly 1,000 positions, despite increased profits and revenues this year. The company faces intense competition in the streaming market. The layoffs will primarily affect product, technology, legal, and HR teams, as announced by co-CEOs Greg Peters and Ted Sarandos. They emphasized the need for discipline in prioritizing employee resources for future growth. Netflix reported a profit of $3.4 billion and revenues of $12.56 billion in Q2, marking a 9% and 13% increase year-over-year. However, third-quarter forecasts fell short of Wall Street expectations, prompting these organizational changes amid rising competition from rivals like Amazon Prime Video and Disney+.
