We haven't even gotten over the last round. Are they really laying off thousands of people so soon? Does anyone know?

Most likely Monday, January 25, but also possibly January 18–19 or January 26. HR seems to prefer announcing major layoffs on a Monday or Tuesday, roughly 60 days + 1 week before the end of a fiscal quarter. That way, the laid-off employees are no longer with TWDC by the end of that quarter. For example, the July layoffs were on July 21.
@k3 Wow! Calm down Grumpy
I honestly can’t believe how many people cherish a job there. This place does not pay well and pays under market. Why not just work for another company making better money and just visit? People are die hard D adults which is scary imo. Grow up, be an adult and look beyond the bubble trap. If not, in years they will do it for you .
@b0 that was for WDI last week, not the new layoffs coming.
This is what Google AI came up with regarding WARN notifications so far:
Latest Filing (October 2026): Disney filed a WARN notice on October 27, 2026, with the California Employment Development Department (EDD) for 159 permanent layoffs at Walt Disney Imagineering headquarters (located at 1401 Flower Street in Glendale, Los Angeles County). The cuts are scheduled to take effect on December 29, 2026
