Just saw the news about the latest round of layoffs at Netflix. Another ? employees gone. Fox Business is reporting it. This is the third major cut in about 18 months. It's hard to keep up. The last time, there was that leaked memo about 'misalignment and indecisions', which felt pretty corporate-speak to me. Anyone here actually know what's going on behind the scenes? Is it restructuring, overhiring during the pandemic boom, or something else entirely? Feeling for everyone impacted, especially with the holidays coming up. It feels like a constant state of uncertainty for so many people in entertainment tech right now. Curious to hear if anyone has insider info or theories on what's driving this pattern.

Honestly, it feels like a classic case of a company expanding too rapidly during a boom and then having to course-correct when the market shifts. The pandemic definitely inflated subscriber numbers and likely led to overconfidence in future growth. Now, as things normalize and competition heats up with Disney+, HBO Max, and others, they're having to trim the fat to maintain profitability. It's tough for the people, but probably a necessary business adjustment.
