Disney’s continued layoffs have arrived at the left-wing blog FiveThirtyEight — a division of Disney’s ABC News — according to founder Nate Silver, who all but announced he will be leaving the troubled media conglomerate.

Nate Silver revealed the bad news, on social media Tuesday saying “Disney layoffs have substantially impacted” the organization. The Walt Disney Co. is in the process of eliminating 7,000 workers across its many media properties as CEO Bob Iger attempts to find $5.5 billion in savings following a disastrous 2022.

“I am sad and disappointed to a degree that’s kind of hard to express right now,” Silver wrote. “We’ve been at Disney almost 10 years. My contract is up soon and I expect that I’ll be leaving at the end of it.” I had been worried about an outcome like this and so have had some great initial conversations about opportunities elsewhere. Don’t hesitate to get in touch. I am so proud of the work of FiveThirtyEight staff. It has never been easy. I’m so sorry to the people impacted by this.
