Starting next week, thousands of Walt Disney Company employees are anticipated to be laid off. These work cuts will incorporate 15% of Disney's staff from the organization's amusement division.
As indicated by sources, the employment misfortunes would incorporate those utilized by Disney's television and film organizations as well as those working at amusement parks and corporate positions.
Any area where Disney works would be affected by the latest work cuts, as per the sources. It also stated that affected employees will begin receiving notifications as early as April 24.
Disney announced in February that it would be cutting 7,000 jobs as part of its efforts to cut costs and save $5.5 billion annually.
Disney Entertainment, which houses the company's streaming, distribution, and film and television production operations, would see a significant staff reduction as a result of the layoffs. This year, Walt Disney's restructuring resulted in the establishment of Disney Entertainment.
As the streaming industry shifts its focus to running online video platforms, major players like NBC Universal, Warner Bros., and Paramount Global have also reduced their workforce.
Bob Iger, the company's current CEO, took over again after another Disney Bob, Bob Chapek, was fired in November due to the streaming division's $1.47 billion quarterly loss.
