Disney CEO Bob Iger said his company will begin laying off staff starting this week, the first of three rounds of expected cuts following his announcement in February that the company would axe 7,000 jobs.

The cuts to Disney’s global workforce are part of a multibillion-dollar cost-cutting initiative aimed at streamlining the company’s operations in a period of media industry turmoil. In a memo to staff obtained by CNN, Iger said the layoffs would come in three waves. The first round will begin this week, and managers will soon start to notify affected employees. A second, larger round of layoffs will take place in April, Iger said, with several thousand staffers let go.

“The difficult reality of many colleagues and friends leaving Disney is not something we take lightly,” Iger said in the memo. “In tough moments, we must always do what is required to ensure Disney can continue delivering exceptional entertainment to audiences and guests around the world – now, and long into the future.” Disney\n \n had about 220,000 workers as of October 1, of which approximately 166,000 were employed in the United States.

Great work Bob go for it.

Queues about to get longer at the parks...

Anything to do with DeSantis and his culture wars?

I knew this would happen. Iger will make FL pay by cutting jobs as FL biggest employer.

Pervy land

This wouldn't be happening if they made another race swapped movie. Just saying. Also, they should spend a lot of time trying to get involved in the politics of the state that they live in where they have extra privilege. Yeah, that would be smart too.

Go woke, go broke

I used to be a fan of mandalirian. It was fun and playful. Now you’re shoving non binary characters down our throat
