Anyone who quits a job or takes a buyout without having a new job to land in is foolish. Anyone who does take the buyout must be really in demand.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2011
Netflix, Amazon Add to Movies
Netflix Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. separately reached deals with major studios to gain access to movies and TV shows for streaming online, an indication that Hollywood increasingly views the Internet as a money-making distribution channel.
Netflix on Monday said that starting in 2013 it would add films and other programming from DreamWorks Animation SKG, which made “Kung Fu Panda” and the “Shrek” series, to its digital library. The two sides said the agreement is exclusive and will last for several years, but they didn’t specify for how long or didn’t say how much the deal cost.
Amazon, meanwhile, said it would add 2,000 TV episodes and movies from Twentieth Century Fox, such as “24” and “Arrested Development” and “Speed,” boosting the number of titles available by 22%, to more than 11,000.
