Netflix announced a workforce reduction of approximately 1,000 employees, representing its largest layoff in history. This move follows a May 2022 cut of 150 jobs and a June 2022 reduction of 300 positions, driven by slower revenue growth. The affected teams include product, technology, human resources, and legal departments. Co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters confirmed the six percent figure in an email memo obtained by The Verge. The event occurred in October 2026, marking a significant shift in the streaming giant's operational structure.

Key points
