Fox News
A newly leaked memo reportedly shows how Netflix was instructing its recruiters to discuss Dave Chappelle’s “The Closer” following a controversy that saw protests by employees.
In the wake of the controversy surrounding "The Closer," The Verge reports that recruiters for Netflix were sent a memo that offered detailed talking points regarding how to talk with prospective new hires who have questions about the company’s decision to back the comedian amid a debate about transgender representation and cancel culture.
The memo notes that it is merely offering its recruiters suggestions on how to deal with questions about "The Closer" rather than providing a mandatory script. It instructs them to use their "best judgment" but to avoid talking about the controversy if possible. It says that the company is not commenting publicly on the matter any further, and therefore they should not either.
