Trouble continues at the vaunted House of the Mouse, as Disney reportedly laid off "hundreds" more employees in yet another cost-cutting measure.
This is just the latest in multiple waves of layoffs to hit the media giant, with the affected employees reportedly spanning television, film, and other parts of the company.
Here's more from CBS News:
Disney did not confirm the exact number of employees being dismissed, but indicated the cuts will be across several of the entertainment giant's units, including film and television marketing; TV publicity; casting and development; and corporate financial operations.
The layoffs were actually on the lighter side in comparison to other massive cullings that have taken place across the company's landscape in recent years.
This most recent round of layoffs follows cuts in March, when Disney let go 200 employees across ABC and its entertainment TV networks, according to Bloomberg News. The Burbank, California, company eliminated an even larger share of employees in April 2023, when it cut 7,000 positions as it underwent a 'significant transformation,' CEO Bob Iger said at the time.
In case anyone from Disney is reading this (I know you're out there, Bob Iger), here are a few simple tips that could turn things around for you guys:
Stop making awful Star Wars stuff and instead make good Star Wars stuff
Go back to being creative instead of recycling classic animated properties into "live-action remakes"
Not everything has to be gay
It really is that simple. Hope this helps.
