  1. Hank LedgerNow, Netflix is cutting one thousand jobs as growth concerns mount, and its shares have fallen more than forty percent in a year.

  2. Hank LedgerMarguerite Salgado runs a reputation firm and joins us from a yacht. Is this a good day for Netflix?

  3. Marguerite SalgadoHank, it's a comeback story, and here's the pivot: these thousand people are finally free to pursue their passions, which for most of them is a couch and a competitor's free trial.

  9. Marguerite SalgadoAnd here's the pivot: I have a workshop for the laid-off called Rise Again, and it is paid, mostly by them.

  10. Hank LedgerSo you are billing the people who were let go. I'll ask again, with the yacht in mind: what do the thousand get?

  11. Marguerite SalgadoA limited series about their journey, Hank. Nobody has greenlit it, but the title is perfect.
