Netflix layoff animation divisions
Netflix has significantly reduced the number of employees in its feature animation division as part of a divisional restructuring.
The layoffs, which happened on Wednesday, November 1, have not been previously reported.
Cartoon Brew understands that at least one-third of the feature unit was laid off, which would total over fifty people. The layoffs targeted “overhead” staff, including executives, business affairs, and production management. No artists were included in these layoffs.
An internal message was sent to staffers on the day of the staff reduction. Cartoon Brew has obtained a copy of the memo, which started off by saying, “Today is going to be a difficult day for all of us.”
