Netflix has fired the latest shot in the ongoing corporate battle against woke activist employees!
In a ‘culture memo’ to employees, Netflix is making it VERY clear that its employees are there to work, not to engage in social activism or to control the kind of content the streaming giant releases. According to the New York Post, the memo pulls absolutely no punches:
“As employees we support the principle that Netflix offers a diversity of stories, even if we find some titles counter to our own personal values,” read the memo, titled “Netflix Culture — Seeking Excellence.” “Depending on your role, you may need to work on titles you perceive to be harmful If you’d find it hard to support our content breadth, Netflix may not be the best place for you.”
The memo comes in the wake of lots of controversy for the streamer, who caught the wrath of trans activists after premiering Dave Chappelle’s latest comedy special “The Closer,” which many on the left called “transphobic” and “harmful.” The airing led to a protest outside of Netflix’s California headquarters, and a trans employee suspected of leaking confidential information was later fired.
Netflix is moving away from wokeness after shedding 200,000 subscribers and seeing stock slide of 26% – erasing $40B in stock market value in a single day!
I’m still a Netflix subscriber because I like the breadth of options, but one thing is clear: we’re now entering the post-woke era – and corporations are DEFINITELY taking note!
