Money Moves

Left Netflix in October 2026

Netflix is cutting about 1,000 jobs, roughly 6% of its staff, and has replaced content chief Bela Bajaria with Peter Rice, the former Disney and Fox executive who now oversees a content budget of about $20 billion. Film chief Dan Lin also left, and the company told employees the cuts were part of an internal plan it called Project Meridian, according to the Wall Street Journal.
