Walt Disney’s parks chief Josh D’Amaro said Tuesday the company will be laying off 28,000 staff at its theme parks, the segment of the company hardest hit by the pandemic. The cuts will…

, the segment of the company hardest hit by the pandemic. The cuts will come at the executive, salaried and hourly level although the bulk of the hit — or 67% the company said — will fall on part-time workers.

ay that hard work is underway “to get that out in a responsible way as soon as possible” but didn’t give any hints.D’Amaro said Disney “will be scheduling appointments with our affected salaried and non-union hourly employees over the next few days. Additionally, today we will begin the process of discussing next steps with unions.”

Over the past several months, we’ve been forced to make a number of necessary adjustments to our business, and as difficult as this decision is today, we believe that the steps we are taking will enable us to emerge a more effective and efficient operation when we return to normal. Our Cast Members have always been key to our success, playing a valued and important role in delivering a world-class experience, and we look forward to providing opportunities where we can for them to return.

As you can imagine, a decision of this magnitude is not easy. For the last several months, our management team has worked tirelessly to avoid having to separate anyone from the company. We’ve cut expenses, suspended capital projects, furloughed our cast members while still paying benefits, and modified our operations to run as efficiently as possible, however, we simply cannot responsibly stay fully staffed while operating at such limited capacity.

Imagine if The Lion King 2 budget went into this. 👀😜

theblerdgurl imagine is the MCU series budget was used to save these people jobs.

Where are the blue checks at now ?!?!?

I'm here for the comments

Imagine being one of the 28000 people laid off by Disney and waking up to the news that they greenlit a appx. 260 million dollars movie...

Disney is laying off 28,000 workers. But During the pandemic they: *It issued a $1.5 billion dividend to shareholders *CEO temporarily cut compensation by 5% *CEO made 1,242x the median worker *Execs kept bonuses and returned to regular base pay in August, Disney should b ashamed

But trump still holding back the covid checks

🤔🤔🤔

You forget that local government is taking it the worst. Anaheim’s revenue is 80% tourism related. They are about to institute massive layoffs too. Sad that firefighters have done everything asked of them, no complaining and now Newsom’s policies are getting them laid off!

How Disney keep green lightning projects but laying off so many people... Make it make sense. Not a good look for the happiest place on Earth 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

Well well well

I should hope so.

Another cringe move from the company with a 40% market share in entertainment

Dear DisneyStudios, Stay home, stay safe. Wear a mask. We're flattening the curve. Don't give in to conspiracy theories! We're all in this together!

Kingdom Heartless has been getting hit hard. First Mulan and now this.

Waiting for Disney paid bloggers to love Lion King2 budget and ignore the staff being fired

Lion King 2 budget could pay all the staff But Disney are greedy

Not COVID but big daddy government.

Should've paid their workers instead of making the same movie again for the billionth time 🥴
