Netflix is planning to eliminate approximately 1,000 positions, representing roughly 6% of its global workforce, according to reporting from the BBC and The Guardian. Both outlets characterized the planned reductions as the company's steepest round of downsizing since 2022.
Citing an internal company memo seen by Reuters, The Guardian reported that the decision comes as the streaming service contends with stiff rivalry for viewership and engagement from YouTube alongside traditional industry competitors.
