Burbank, CA – The Walt Disney Company is reportedly cutting approximately 300 corporate positions in another round of workforce reductions affecting back office, technology and administrative operations.
According to a layoff alert posted Tuesday by WhatLayoff, Disney initiated a third round of targeted corporate workforce reductions , eliminating about 300 positions across several corporate functions.
The reported cuts include employees working in back office operations, technology and administrative roles. The information provided did not include a detailed breakdown of how many positions are affected within each department or how many of the impacted employees are based in California.
Disney maintains major corporate operations in Burbank and employs workers across multiple business divisions and locations.
The latest reductions are described as targeted corporate cuts rather than a companywide shutdown or closure. No specific Disney theme park, resort or entertainment production was identified in the notice as closing because of the reductions.
The post also did not specify when all affected employees will leave the company, whether severance packages are being offered or whether some workers could move into other positions.
The cuts represent another round of corporate restructuring at one of the world’s largest entertainment companies. Workforce reductions involving administrative and technology positions can affect operations that support numerous divisions even when consumer facing businesses remain open.
Employees affected by corporate layoffs typically receive individual information regarding final work dates, benefits and other transition arrangements directly from their employer.
Additional details could emerge regarding which Disney divisions and locations are most affected by the approximately 300 eliminated positions.
