It isn't all rainbows and sunshine at Disney, with the company announcing hundreds of additional job cuts. This latest round will hit Pixar and Nat Geo employees especially hard, with most of the layoffs happening within their branches.

Corporate restructuring continues

Disney is billing it as "corporate restructuring", and it has already spurred rounds of job cuts. It's believed that Pixar and Nat Geo will absorb most of the layoffs, but ESPN will also be included in the cuts.

All in all, it's estimated that The Walt Disney Co. will cut hundreds of jobs across the company.

It's said that Pixar film studio will see the bulk of the job loss. Looking at its releases this year, there have only been two films - Hoppers and Toy Story 5. That said, Toy Story 5 has been a huge success.

ESPN's on-air talent could look different

While Pixar is the main source of cuts, ESPN won't get out of this round without job loss.

“Over the past several months, we’ve made significant progress integrating the NFL assets that we acquired into ESPN," read a staff memo from ESPN chairman Jimmy Pitaro.

"Throughout this process, we have taken the time to carefully evaluate our collective teams, resources and organizational structure to best position us for the future. As a result, we had to make some difficult decisions about job impacts that we will be communicating today,” continued the memo.

Third round of cuts so far

Despite the fact that it's only July, this is the third round of cuts Disney has done this year. The new Disney CEO, Josh D'Amaro, is working towards a "One Disney" structure of joining up similar departments.

April saw the biggest cuts so far, with 1,000 employees being let go.

A wait-and-see approach for Disney

Employees will need to take the wait-and-see approach with their job, in hopes they aren't next on the chopping block. As for consumers of Disney content and experiences, it's remains to be seen if you're going to notice a negative impact.
