Disney Set For Layoffs After Billion Dollar Earnings Miss


CEO Bob Chapek of Disney told executives that layoffs at the entertainment giant were likely, just days after a weak earnings report that missed expectations by over $1 billion, the Wall Street Journal reported Friday, citing an internal memo.

The email also announced a hiring freeze among other cost-saving measures including a request to limit travel without prior approval from executives, according to the WSJ. The company missed expectations for its fourth quarter earnings on Nov. 8 after losing nearly $1.5 billion on its Disney+ streaming service, nearly 40% worse than what analysts anticipated.

Golly whiz WOKE Joke People - what ever could have caused such an upset?
Not that you give a crap.

😂 I suppose attendance is down, they aren’t selling cd’s etc. I wonder how their streaming service is going? I’m not a customer and don’t know anyone who is. No doubt in your capacity it’s free right? @Thinkerbell

@Thinkerbell Did you notice joe cut off the student loan relief after the vote
nedkelly · 61-69, M
Disney executives are so out of touch with the real world, time to replace these idiots and go back to the old Disney values
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Boo hoo. Good riddance to bad rubbish. The layoffs should be from the top down.
fanuc2013 · 51-55, F
@jackjjackson unfortunetly it won't happen that way. I feel sorry for the people at the bottom, their mgmt. should be ashamed of themselves. Walt is looking down from heaven and shaking his head.

When disney went woke, they doomed themselves. They need to go out of business.
cherokeepatti · 61-69, F

MarineBob · 56-60, M
Has any politician offered to return the money they spent on political donations

what ever could have caused such an upset?

I kinda have a clue.
trollslayer · 46-50, M
I blame all the shitty star wars stuff coming out. Market oversaturation.

You think working at Disney, 80 hour weeks is easy? You "anti woke" people are just so bitter and angry.

@ron122 Woke is anyone who is different from you, so your logic doesn't really apply. You're just a loser.
ron122 · 41-45, M
@SatanBurger Woke is anyone that's a loser like you.

So has just about every other big corporate including Facebook, Twitter, Amazon etc.
no point carrying staff that you don’t need when there is a recession on the horizon.

The whole live action remake is a terrible idea.

“Let’s pay to go see films we’ve already had on tape since we were kids.” Fuck that.
Do I own any Disney shares
If not why should I care?

Yeah Misty - it's all about you.
@Budwick I get that it's not all about me, but if it's going to be all about one person, why not me?

But, the reality is NOT about just one person.
