Serves the faggots at Disney right.
The second round of job cuts at the Walt Disney Co. is expected to begin
on Monday.
The April wave of job cuts, which has been described as the obig oneo or a obloodbath,o will result in 4,000 jobs being eliminated by the end of the week, Variety reported.
Disney CEO Bob Iger announced on Feb. 8 that 7,000 jobs, representing
around 3% of the companyAs workforce, would be slashed. The reduction
comes as Disney enacts a company-wide plan to reduce costs by $5.5
billion.
All company divisions, including theme parks, are expected to be impacted
by the planned labor reduction. The companyAs theme park division includes
the Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, Disney
cruise lines and its international parks.

More details about the specific departments and positions affected by the layoffs will be announced throughout the week, Variety reported. Several high-ranking employees were laid off during the companyAs first round of layoffs.
