Disney is making more cuts, letting go of hundreds of workers from various departments around the world.
The terminations will take place on Monday, impacting teams responsible for marketing in film and TV, public relations, casting, development, and corporate financial functions, according to sources. Disney is framing these reductions as a means to improve operational efficiency without dissolving any teams entirely.
The exact number of Disney staffers who are losing their jobs could not be determined.
Disney recently implemented job reductions, which follow a series of layoffs that occurred in different periods:
1. In March 2022, approximately 200 staff members were let go from various TV and ABC News operations.
2. Back in October 2024, around 75 employees from ABC News and local stations were terminated.
3. Last September, nearly 300 employees across several corporate departments such as HR, legal, and finance in the U.S. were also let go.
In July 2024, approximately 140 employees at Disney’s television department were let go, predominantly impacting teams associated with National Geographic, Freeform, and local TV broadcasting stations.
Over the last year, it seems that the job cuts have been more strategic rather than the significant cost-reduction actions taken by the company in 2023 following Disney CEO Bob Iger’s return. In contrast to The Mouse House’s layoffs two years ago which ultimately resulted in eliminating over 8,000 positions (originally aiming for a reduction of 7,000).
By September 28, 2024, Disney announced that they had around 233,000 workers worldwide, with about 171,000 based in the United States. This represented an increase from their total workforce of 225,000 just a year prior.
