Walt Disney Co on Monday began 7,000 layoffs announced earlier this year, as it seeks to control costs and create a more "streamlined" business, according to a letter Chief Executive Bob Iger sent to employees and seen by Reuters.

Mr Iger said that in addition to assisting the board in "succeeding at succession," he has a lot to accomplish in a brief amount of time.

Toy Story 5, Frozen 3, and a Zootopia sequel are in the works at Disney. Company CEO Bob Iger confirmed the projects during its Q1 earnings call, after having announced a massive 7,000-employee layoff. Currently, there are no plot details for any of the movies, but all three franchises have crossed the billion-dollar mark at the global box office.

Entertainment giant Disney said Wednesday it was laying off 7,000 employees, in CEO Bob Iger's first major decision since he was asked back to lead the company late last year.

Twitter Inc.'s mass layoffs have shocked onlookers and insiders alike, but it's not the first company - and won't be the last - to be seen as bungling the messy business of sacking staff.

Earlier this month, Disney said it was furloughing additional workers from its theme park in Southern California due to uncertainty over when the state would allow parks to reopen.

Walt Disney Co said on Wednesday it would lay off about 32,000 workers, primarily at its theme parks, an increase from the 28,000 it announced in September, as the company struggles with limited customers due to the coronavirus pandemic.

A group of former Walt Disney World IT employees in the US state of Florida have filed a fresh lawsuit, claiming the company discriminated against them by firing them and giving their jobs to Indian workers brought to the country on H-1B visas.

Development ceases at Indiagames as staff laid off.

Amid reports that entertainment giant Walt Disney has laid off American employees and replaced them with Indians holding H1-B visas, US Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson has told lawmakers that any such allegations are very troubling and should be investigated.

In late May, about 35 technology employees at Disney-ABC Television in New York and Burbank, California, received jarring news. Managers told them that they would all be laid off, and that during their final weeks they would have to train immigrants brought in by an outsourcing company to do their jobs.

A Disney spokesman confirmed the layoffs, but didn't say how many people were affected.
