The 7,000 staff reduction will equate to about 3.2% of Disney’s workforce.
Reductions are part of the $5.5 billion in cuts that Disney wants to make for the 2023 fiscal year. $2.5 billion will be cut to “non-content,” while $1 billion will be saved within reductions in SGNP and operating costs and $3 billion in non-sports content costs.
It’s unclear where the job cuts will all come from.
