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.

Funny thing is that there's plenty of stories that they can do without having to be "woke". Aladdin is a good story. And they didn't have to be "woke" to come up with that.
The Disney brand has become poisonous to me. A movie might sound interesting to me but upon finding out it was made by Disney , forget about it.
I love the smell of schadenfreude in the morning! Evenings, too!
I wonder how many jobs one decent, wholesome hit movie would have saved. Going woke has consequences.
Gee the perversion of the product has nothing to do with the demise of the former Family based themed parks? Alternative life styles are VERY common in the staffing....
Which people?
There's a reason you don't see straight white males, thin women, and Asians in television and streaming commercials - those three demographics have walked away from television and streaming.
The international bankers who control the stock are the ones pushing the woke agenda.
While part of it is the fact they are shoehorning "The Message" into everything with a progressively heavy hand the other part of it is that no one with writing talent will work for them.
They cheat you out of your royalties.
There are any number of good writers out there that could come up with scripts the push "The Message" without it being tripe. But they will not work for Disney.
They would like to actually be paid thank you very much.
Sorry, but what does that sentence mean? Who are the señoritas?
I listened to Matt Drudge's radio show in the 1990s. His favorite word was "hemorrhaging." Every Saturday, Drudge would hyperventilate "They're hemorrhaging ratings! The legacy media is hemorrhaging! It's a bloodbath! ABC's ratings have plummeted from from X to Y. CBS is hemorrhaging! They're all hemorrhaging!"
Conservatives would eagerly lap it up, thinking, this is the end of liberal media.
And yet, despite all that "hemorrhaging," the legacy is media is still here. Yeah, ABC's ratings are much lower. But so what? The same few companies own all of media and tech. What do they care if you watch them on this channel or that channel, on this website or that one.
The female teenboppers hired by Disney to be made into “rock stars”.
