the fear of recession. The condition of the stock markets was bad, especially

of revenue and subscribers.
Fighting with these circumstances, the decision of
retrenchment is being taken to run the company. This time
Netflix has fired 300 employees, i.e. 4% of its office employees. This is the
second round of layoffs in the company. Earlier, Netflix had laid off about 150
employees and dozens of contractors citing slow revenue growth. Before that,
about 25 people from the marketing team were thrown out.
The company is laying
off employees at a time when it is facing a loss in terms of subscribers for the
first time. Regarding
this, Netflix said in its statement, "We are continuing to invest in the
business, but we need to keep the cost balance with the slow growth of
revenue." On commenting, we have taken this step so that we can keep
moving forward in the changed situation.
We are grateful to the people for
everything they have done for Netflix. We are doing our best to support them in
this difficult times. Even after
the first round of layoffs, the company had said that this move was not related
to the performance of the employees, but was forced to do so due to financial
reasons. Netflix had a loss of about 2 lakh subscribers in the last quarter.
This is the first time in the last decade that Netflix's subscribers have
decreased.
The company
has also predicted a loss of about 2 lakh subscribers in the coming days. The
company has suffered a lot due to the on-going war between Russia and Ukraine.

companies closed their business in Russia in protest against the war on Ukraine.
Netflix is also one of those companies. The company has also faced the loss
of all these factors in the share market.

to just $ 180. Netflix's stock was at its old-time high in October last year. At
that time, the price of a share of Netflix had crossed $ 700 in the stock
market. Its stock is now down nearly 75% from its open time highs. Let us tell

streaming giant Netflix fired 150 people, it's announced another round of job
cuts. It'll be slashing 300 more jobs, mostly in the United States. The current
action is the result of Netflix losing a party of its subscriber base for the
first time back in April.
