Netflix Woes Mean a Gap In Shipments

Posted by timothy on from the oxygen-delivery-plans-on-hold dept.

Loopback writes "It appears that I'm not the only one waiting for my NetFlix movies. It seems they are being bitten in the rear by their home-grown proprietary inventory management system. 'Netflix has been facing shipping delays and outages in its distribution centers for the last two days and is fumbling to find a fix. The tab is roughly $1.8 million to $3.6 million in revenue a day.'"

    Eh. The company I was working for until last week crashed into a brick wall and exploded. Basically they ran out of money to pay their employees and did an 80% layoff.

    Still haven't been paid for the last few weeks of work. I'm trying to decide if the 20% left are better or worse off. At least I am collecting unemployment. They are working without pay.
