The Walt Disney Company is reportedly preparing to eliminate up to 1,000 worker positions over the next several weeks, with a significant portion of the layoffs expected to impact the entertainment giant’s marketing division, according to a Wednesday report from the Wall Street Journal.
The newspaper cited unnamed sources familiar with the matter for its reporting on the anticipated workforce reduction. Reuters was unable to independently confirm the information, and Disney representatives had not provided a response to requests for comment as of Wednesday evening.
