Disney Continues Layoffs, Now Outside The US
The company informed 100 Disney employees worldwide of a possible future discharge.
Consolidation at Disney is not a US-only matter. Jesse Whittock and Max Goldbart, with Deadline, wrote that Disney informed 100 employees around the world that their jobs are at risk of redundancy and have begun consultations. The staff is based in London and across the EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) area.
Sources indicate those most at risk are mainly in the marketing and press departments and back offices such as talent acquisition, engineering, and IT.
For now, the Disney+ commissioning and production team are understood to be safe from the cuts, as they are seen as an essential plank in Disney’s future strategy.
The Mouse House has more than 5,000 staff in the EMEA region (not including Disneyland Paris), with around 40% based in the UK and Ireland, and others are spread across Latin America, Asia Pacific, and India.
A third round of the planned 7,000 layoffs in the US also started. The TV Division, hit hard in the second round, has been spared this time, and the “Parks and Resorts” division remains mainly untouched. The cuts are estimated to affect more than 2,500 jobs across the board at the company.
