The list of massive layoffs by large companies is growing once again. In addition to a gigantic wave of layoffs by large companies such as Meta<\/a>, Microsoft<\/a>, Twitter, Amazon, Spotify<\/a>, ByteDance<\/a>, IBM<\/a><\/strong> and Twitch<\/a><\/strong>, one of the queens of entertainment is now joining the list: Disney<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Walt Disney has reportedly launched several rounds of layoffs involving a total of 7,000 employees<\/strong> of his company. Reuters<\/a><\/strong> has had access to a letter sent by Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger<\/strong> to his employees, in which he states that the purpose of the Mickey Mouse company’s job cuts is to “control costs and create a more streamlined business”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the company’s divisions that will be affected by these layoffs are Disney Entertainment, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, and Corporate<\/strong>. For the time being, ESPN<\/a><\/strong> will not be affected by the cuts that will take place this week, but it is expected that some of its workers will be laid off in subsequent rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This week, Walt Disney will begin notifying the first group of employees who will be affected by these job cuts. The second round, which will involve a much larger number of employees<\/strong>, will occur in April. The third and final round would take place before the summer, without specifying the month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The announcement of the layoffs originally took place in February, when Disney announced<\/a> that it would eliminate 7,000 jobs in order to save $5.5 billion in costs<\/strong>, as well as to make profitable its streaming platform, Disney+<\/strong>, which would be losing the company quite a bit of money.<\/p>\n\n\n

“The difficult reality of many colleagues and friends leaving Disney is not something we take lightly,” Iger wrote, noting that many “bring a lifelong passion for Disney” to their work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
