Disney Layoffs Continue, Hitting Product and Technology Division Hard
Breitbart ^ | June 26, 2025 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 06/26/2025 8:20:42 AM PDT by Red Badger

Entertainment giant Disney is continuing its campaign of employee layoffs with its latest round of cuts hitting its product and technology division.

While Disney insists that the P&T division is critical to its future success, the layoffs nonetheless cut an additional two percent of the company’s workforce, The Wrap reported.

This latest round of cost cutting is just one of a long series of cuts lasting several years. Indeed, it isn’t even the first round of layoffs this month.

Early this month the company pushed out several hundred workers from its marketing for both film and television, television publicity, and its casting and development departments.

It was the fourth round of layoffs in the last ten months and came about a month after 200 employees were eliminated in March.

The layoffs in March hit Disney’s ABC News Group and Disney Entertainment Networks unit. That round of layoffs even included the elimination of its once popular “538” website.

Probably a mere blip in the net worth of the company, and certainly nothing that would cause Disney to change directions.

Good! Old Walt is probably spinning in his grave about how his company has been run into the ground!

Somewhere in the family there are 8mm films of my father onsite
building the original la disneyland.

I hope I live long enough to see that corrupted venue demolished.

“Darn. Maybe they can learn to code.”

That used to work until Disney laid off their IT staff and outsourced the jobs to a company that employs workers on visas from India.

The only way Disney stops being evil is by going out of business.

It doesn’t help when Disney pushes ideas that a lot of people disagree with.

They aren't hurting badly enough yet. They are still cranking out "Woke" stupidity, like "Iron Heart" and "Fantastic Four."

They need to lose more money. They got to hurt before they will take the appropriate corrective action.

Till they fire Kathleen Kennedy, they aren't serious.

Indeed. Two words that come to mind re her tenure - vandal, firebug.
