In March this year, nearly 200 Disney employees were laid off. Before that, a major restructuring at the Walt Disney Company happened in October, involving the shutdown of ABC Signature, with its operations folded into 20th Television and the consolidation of ABC and Hulu Originals scripted drama and comedy teams, reported Deadline. 30 Disney Entertainment Television layoffs were witnessed then. The latest cuts follow Disney's Q2 earnings in May this year, which was primarily driven by experiences and sports, with streaming too delivering strong results. The direct-to-consumer operating profit increased by $289 million to $336 million. Earlier, Bob talked about creating new jobs, mainly in Disney experiences, including theme parks.
