Disney plans to cut 1,000 jobs, WSJ reports

Disney plans to cut as many as 1,000 positions in the coming weeks, with many of the reductions concentrated in its marketing department. The layoffs are a cost‑management restructuring that may modestly reduce operating expenses and signal tighter near‑term discretionary spending, likely producing a modest, company‑level market reaction rather than broader sector impact.
