What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNetflix is cutting about six percent of its worldwide staff, roughly one thousand jobs, according to a source with knowledge of the matter, as NBC News reports.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe company has about sixteen thousand employees, and it has not laid out which teams are affected or when people will be told.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt's a hard day for a thousand families, and I hope every one of them lands somewhere that values them.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorA thousand people, and the show about a layoff will probably still get a second season.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDale, that's cruel.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIt's accurate. They'll cancel the one thing you love after one season and keep the sequel nobody asked for for years.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe one I loved ended on a cliffhanger. There is no season two, and I've accepted it.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHank, that's the first feeling you've shared on air in years.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorIt's the last one.
