    Netflix tells ‘woke’ workers to quit if they are offended: ‘culture’ memo

    About time.


    They’re putting wokeworkers to bed.

    In light of internal dissension triggered by productions like Dave Chappelle’s controversial stand-up special, Netflix has reportedly issued a memo to its disgruntled staffers, underscoring that the streaming behemoth values the “artistic expression” of its content creators over each employee’s personal thoughts, beliefs and lifestyles.

    And any worker who doesn’t like it can ’Flix off.

    “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.”
    “If you’d find it hard to support our content breadth, Netflix may not be the best place for you,” read the memo in part.

    They are over twice the cost of other streaming services and are losing subscribers. There are many moves they could make. Vice signaling may be a good one short term. Let’s see how that works out.

      Netflix is not going to need their bloated staff so they are getting rid of the snowflakes by attrition. The crybabies can go work for Twitter - oops, maybe CNN+? Nope. Hmmm....I'm sure Soros needs some social justice warriors.

          That's my understanding. A combination of seeing the "go woke go broke" axiom in real life, combined with the lesseing prospects of employment elsewhere has stiffened the spine of some company directors.
