Disney is eliminating roughly 1,000 jobs as new CEO Josh D’Amaro begins a company‑wide restructuring aimed at streamlining operations. The cuts fall heavily on the marketing division, which was recently consolidated, but also affect studio, TV, ESPN, product, technology, and corporate roles. D’Amaro told employees the company must become more agile and technologically oriented amid declining TV revenues, shrinking box office returns, and intensified competition. The layoffs follow earlier rounds in 2023, when Disney cut 7,000 jobs to reduce costs.
