  "account": "Netflix is cutting around 6% of its workforce, which is approximately 1000 jobs worldwide. This is the largest layoff in the company since 2022, according to the Wall Street Journal. The cuts primarily affect departments for product, technology, legal, and HR, as stated in an email sent by CEO Greg Peters and Ted Sarandos to employees on Wednesday morning. The company's mission - to entertain the world - is ambitious, and to deliver on that, they must be disciplined about where they prioritize their people and resources, the two CEOs write according to the WSJ. The background is that Netflix is struggling to get subscribers to spend more time on the platform. The company has attempted various measures to increase engagement, including live channels, video podcasts, content from YouTube creators, live sports, and major events. While Netflix has the lowest subscriber churn rate in the U.S. at just over 2%, the stock has dropped more than 40% over the past year. Peters and Sarandos state that the company will continue to \"invest aggressively in areas with high impact,\" but stress that it requires tough prioritizations. Netflix is not alone. Both Disney and Amazon have heavily cut staff in recent months, the WSJ reports. The layoffs come a week before Netflix releases its quarterly earnings.",
