    Amid a disappointing Q1, Netflix is now also under fire for the
    mistreatment of their Black employees. After recruiting Latinx, Asian, and Black women from well-known, leading publications such as The New York
    Times, Teen Vogue, and Vulture, Netflix jointly laid off the team, a mere
    six months since Tudum website’s December 2021 launch.

    According to the site, “Tudum is quite literally the sound of Netflix and
    your trusted source to go behind the streams of the titles and talent that light up your screen.” After the layoff announcement, a spokesperson for Netflix spoke with Protocol, calling Tudum “an important priority for the company.”

    Staff who were affected “were full-time, part-time or on contract. Most of
    them had just been given promotions the month prior to lay-offs,” Madame
    Noire reports. Worse, “[t]hey were offered two just two weeks of severance pay.”

    One ex-Tudum employee spoke with NPR, stating “They went very out of their
    way to hire high level journalists of color who have quite a bit of name recognition and a lot of experience and talent. In some ways, they were
    just buying clout to lend credibility to their gambit…We were courted
    pretty aggressively. They sold us on the most amazing thing that you could
    want as a culture journalist or entertainment journalist. They just sold something that seemed impossible anywhere else…But the biggest selling
    point was the pay…People upended their lives for this.”

    While the site continues to remain up and running, the “culture and trend”
    team members “hired to expand the diversity” have quickly realized what
    they thought would their dream job was in actuality a nightmare.

    Before their lives were upended last Thursday, many of the new hires were already discovering discrepancies in what they had been promised prior to joining the company.

    The abovementioned ex-Tudum writer told NPR, “They started tightening up
    little by little. And then just it became clear. It's a content marketing
    job, essentially. That would have been fine if from the get-go they made
    that clear… They created a very jargony corporate environment in which everything is extremely positive. So instead of saying, 'No, don't do
    that,' they say, 'Do you think that's something we should be
    doing?'…Still, I'm really proud of a lot of the stories that were done
    under even those sort of tight parameters that were set and that
    constantly moved. A lot of great work was done because they hired
    extremely talented people. And so this more than anything reads as a lack
    of investment into a project that they didn't properly plan for or
    properly set up.”

    In trying to do their job, the writers found that they were heavily
    censored by Netflix, and instructed “not to say anything deemed
    controversial, even if it was the subject of a documentary, for example.
    And any mention of films that aren’t in the Netflix library were deleted
    from the site.”

    Nichole Perkins, another former Tudum’er also impacted by the layoffs
    turned to Twitter, venting her frustrations, “Well. I just was laid off
    from a significant contract originally intended through August so I’m
    looking for stable work… and rent. I need rent.”

    The secret to success is to trim off the dead weight....


    I'm not-sure why NETFLIX would do something like that unless they feel
    they're solving the problem of bleeding cash.

    -That's Karma-

    *IF YOU'RE READING THIS YOU ARE A SURVIVOR*
    *The first rule of SURVIVAL CLUB* is we talk about it, we hate
    censorship. Never trust what Democrats or Marxists tell you. Make them
    prove it with actual verifiable facts and science. And if you didn't
    find the duplicitous lies in what the Marxist-Democrats told you then
    you didn't dig deep enough. The *Gruber* *Doctrine* is the
    Marxist-Democrat plan that says it's "to the Democrats advantage to have
    a lack of transparency and then lie about everything". https://rumble.com/vkt8ld-call-it-the-stupidity-of-the-american-voter-or-whatever.-how-libs-exploit-t.html

    *The next rule of SURVIVAL CLUB* is
    206 - "The individual mandate forces individuals into commerce precisely because they elected to refrain from commercial activity," says Justice Roberts. "Such a law cannot be sustained under a clause authorizing
    Congress to 'regulate Commerce.'"
