Disney Plans Thousands of Job Cuts Targeting 20% Cost Savings Amid Restructuring
Walt Disney is planning a significant round of layoffs, asking some managers to identify 20% in annual cost savings through job cuts and expense reductions. The restructuring will disproportionately affect divisions such as theme parks, TV networks, and movie studios. CEO Josh D'Amaro intends to reinvest part of the savings into film and TV programming, technology, and the theme park and cruise ship businesses. Disney has previously cut thousands of jobs amid challenges like AI adoption, streaming competition, and weaker box office revenue.
