The most magical place in the world is laying off 28,000 employees in California and Florida due to the pandemic.
According to Disney officials, two-thirds of the planned layoffs involve part-time workers but they ranged from salaried employees to nonunion hourly workers..
Apparently, the management team had worked hard to try to avoid layoffs by cutting expenses, suspending projects and modifying operations but it wasn’t enough.
Disneyland was supposed to reopen on July 17, but that was postponed as cases surged in California during the first half of the summer.
Disney’s other theme parks in Florida, Paris, Shanghai, Japan and Hong Kong have been able to reopen to limited capacity, with Disney World even adding extra open hours recently.
