First of all, the "diversity teams" were only needed to teach the "main team" to do "diverse" things. To that end, their mission is already complete.
Second, the "loss of subscribers" triggering these layoffs is because Netflix banned Russia over Ukraine. If you add the banned Russians back in, they netted positive subscriber growth.
Sidebar -- I don't know what cutting off the average joe in Russia from Netflix is supposed to do. How the fuck is some illiterate farmer going to go stop the KGB.
In conclusion... this was a "we did a thing (banned Russia) that gave us an excuse (subscriber losses) to fire people we otherwise couldn't fire (token minorities)." Just think: how else could they layoff these people? Now they can say "well go blame conservatives for getting your favorite writer fired" and motivate more violence from democrats.
Not really, no.

Well that's just bleak, but thanks for the explanation.
