Woah, Netflix...

One of my friends used to manage the Netflix customer service crews... and he just announced on FB that he and a large number of his coworkers got laid off today.

Interesting that, despite emailing customers to say that they are no longer separating Netflix home dvd service from instant viewing service, Netflix has not emailed its customers to say that they had such a lousy quarter that they had to lay off a ton of employees...  Stick out tongue

    sorry for your friend.

  • Yeah, it does. Although, he's young and taking it in stride. I don't know about all the other folks, though.

    Sadly, this is not unusual these days...

  • I just read an article on CNN that basically says that Netflix is hurting pretty badly for the first time ever. They just lost their Starz contract, so there goes any decently recent movies on streaming. Their user numbers dropped by over a million (so far) since July. And they are launching more in Europe, which is going to suck up any profits for a while (and, hence, make them unprofitable). Obviously, their stocks are going to hell in a hand basket.

  • Yikes, that stinks for your friend.

    I have been seriously considering leaving Netflix myself, it would be better if they had more recent movies on their streaming library.
