Disney Bloodbath: Latest Round of Layoffs Hitting Hundreds of Corporate Employees

The bloodbath keeps getting worse at the Walt Disney Company, with a new round of layoffs expected to impact hundreds of corporate employees this week.

An estimated 300 people are affected by the layoffs that started Tuesday and are continuing at least through Thursday .. The employees affected are all in the U.S., with multiple divisions impacted, including legal, human resources, finance, and communications

...

The layoffs represent the latest round of cutting at Disney, which has been trying to right its financial ship amid continued cord-cutting as well as pessimistic consumer sentiment tied to record inflation under the Biden-Harris administration.

Last year, Disney eliminated a whopping 7000 jobs worldwide, with CEO Bob Iger promising an additional $2 billion in additional cost savings.

Disney recently swung the ax across multiple TV properties, including ABC News — which recently aired the rigged presidential debate — and Fauci documentary channel Nat Geo. ABC News’ evening show suffered a ratings drop following the debate as viewers made their sentiment known about how the network stacked the deck against former President Donald Trump.

...

Disney has also been dealing with the ongoing consumer backlash to its embrace of woke identity politics, especially the promotion of transgenderism in its entertainment aimed at children.

They think it’s cord cutting. I would be a subscriber for the Marvel content if they hadn’t made it so gay and feminist. They write scripts by committee. It’s the worst way to write. Everyone has some objection to something and they end up with bland content trying not to offend anyone. They are left with nothing interesting. The only thing they can rely on is the vast array of supporting characters from the comics. I was not unhappy with the last ant man movie but I hated that they made modok a caricature. Not to mention that they have screwed up the Star Wars franchise and everything that Pixar makes.

The first Ant Man movie was funny. And it was fresh. The last one was bland.

Music to my ears. We need a whole lot more layoffs at ABC News.

So they are allowed to say “bloodbath”?

But not Trump?

[frank ballenger]

Ok to say bloodbath?

Four-day pass per person at Disneyworld Orlando runs from $341 to $396. Maybe these prices had something to do with it. If you are a family of four that’s sixteen hundred bucks. Just for admission. These prices had to have a negative effect on attendance figures and then they had to find employees to blame. But no matter what it always seems in corporations when the numbers go south the employees get hit with massive layoffs. I’ve seen it happen three times in my previous working life.

As cost-cutting proceeds, Disney will shed much of its woke workforce and weaken their suffocating grip on Disney's creative thinking. That may enable a return to traditional story-telling. As Taylor Sheridan's success with Yellowstone and other shows demonstrates, there is a strong public hunger for entertainment to be, well, entertaining.

DEI. Somehow, animated caricatures of people/creatures has to show over-represented DEI.

Well , in the new “Snow White”, snow actress is a Palestinian sympathizer. But in a situation of pure irony, Gal Gadot is the “wicked” queen. Who’d ever think I’d be a supporter of poison Apples. disney really messed this one up. And there is a live action “Snow” that is ani woke also being filmed simultaneously. Snow is played by Brett Cooper…. This pic of Cooper leaves no need for explanation:


Make Grimm great sgain

I hope they kept the dei folks and doubled their pay. Giggle, snort.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

It’s bloodbath, I tell ya!!! A BLOODBATH!!!

Disney really messed this one up by picking this Ziegler broad to Play Snow. And there is a live action “Snow” that is anti woke also being filmed by a different studio simultaneously. Snow is played by Brett Cooper…. This pic of Cooper leaves no need for explanation:

Old Disney: May it live forever
Woke Disney: Die, Die, Die. FOREVER.

The Disney Corporation needs a resurrection.

Where’s Walt?

Here is an idea…make stuff people want to watch. Maybe toss in a white, married person from time to time. Have kids in shows who have two parents that are not idiots.

Nah….lets go spend $28M an episode on crap that no one wanted to watch.

The sheer size of these layoffs clearly illustrate that management (oxymoron) is downsizing the company not just tightening it’s belt.

We took the first round of grandchildren and their parents to Disney for 1 week 7 years ago. We will not be taking the second round of grandchildren to Disney since going woke.

[Bob434]

the only way to combat this is to go more, more more woke-
