Transgender Netflix employees and co-workers will stage a walkout next week protesting the streaming giant’s decision to release Dave Chappelle’s latest comedy special, multiple Netflix staffers have confirmed to the Los Angeles Times.

“Between the numerous emails and non-answers that have been given, we have been told explicitly that we somehow cannot understand the nuance of certain content. I don’t know about you, but asking for us to show the whole story and not just the pieces that harm trans and [LGBTQ+] people is not an unreasonable ask,” the employee’s Slack statement continued.

Let me leave. If they can’t take a comics jokes, they shouldn’t work at one of the biggest entertainment companies in the world.

Oh God the beasts aren’t getting enough attention

Get over it 😂

The world is so annoyingly sensitive nowadays

Wish I was there with them. This is sad.

He said nothing wrong, 2nd its a god damn comedy special, its jokes. If you get offended or cant handle a joke, ITS NOT FOR YOU. Anything can offended anyone, u have no priviliage/right to go through life never getting offended.

Ok. So what's the issue here? Hope ya got nice sneakers, and see ya later!

So I just canceled my Netflix subscription. HBO here I come!!🙌 endtransphobia canceldavechappelle BoycottNetflix

Proving that Netflix staffers don't watch what their paychecks are putting out...

Comedy that never offends…isn’t comedy. Virtually everyone agrees, even if the shrieking minority has a megaphone. I’d let every employee express their views civillay. I’d also gleefully fire them for disrupting meetings. Netflix pays way too well to put up with that bullshit

Yall SOFT

Like, all 10 of them? 🙄

Did they ever say what he said that they found offensive?

News of the walkout comes shortly after Netflix suspended three employees, allegedly for attending a meeting that they were not invited to, during which directors and vice presidents at the company discussed the fallout from the Chappelle special.
