Netflix has cut off approximately 150 employees, just a month after announcing that it has lost customers for the first time in a decade. The streaming service announced the layoffs on Tuesday, affecting mostly its California location. They make up around 2% of the company's North American workforce.
Netflix attributed the employment cuts to a drop in income. This year, the streaming service is seeing a viewer exodus. The company in a statement, said, "These adjustments are generally motivated by business needs rather than individual performance. This makes them extremely difficult because none of us want to say goodbye to such outstanding colleagues."
