The Walt Disney Company has announced its fifth round of layoffs in 2025, continuing a pattern of deep cuts across the entertainment giant. The latest reductions have struck the Entertainment and ESPN Product and Technology division, where less than 2% of the workforce was reportedly let go.
Disney referred to the move as a “rebalancing of resources”, despite it following four other major staff reductions in the last eight months.

The news dropped Thursday, June 26th—intentionally timed to “6-26 Day,” a nod to Stitch’s designation as Experiment 626.
