Cheap ass DISNEY owns ESPN...

THEY MADE 12.1 billion in profit in 2022...
Up 56% !!! That's a chunk of change !!!

But some vunderkindt douche bag CEO UPPER echelon deeeek thinks that laying off 7,000 peeps is a good idea?

At ESPN IT IS:
Jalen rose, Suzy kolber,Jeff van gundy, Keyshawn johnson, max kellerman, lapphonso ellis ...

20 high profile ESPN sports commentators got the AXE !!! SOME HAVE BEEN there over
20-25 years as faithful employees!!!

Bend over and take it in the ASS from your backstabbing CEO and be happy about it...
Is what DISNEY IS SAYING...

Maybe if they weren't busy grooming children they'd have positive cashflow. Guess they aren't good at FAFO.

Life in Corporate America….

Always being judged by an 8-1/2 x 11 piece of paper. Shareholders have to get their proper cut and the Almighty Bottom Line is all that matters.

The Almighty Bottom Line...yes. The Cinnamon/Sugar Mix shaken over toasted bread with butter of Life! The "little engine that could" that buds into Capitalism! If'n you're gonna dance with the Devil, then you gotta have a great song! Make me tap my toes. Why how dare they make me pay for a provided good or service at a mutually agreed upon price!!!

Disney, Sick

I remember... "...about 250 Disney employees were told in late October that they would be laid off. Many of their jobs were transferred to immigrants on temporary visas for highly skilled technical workers, who were brought in by an outsourcing firm based in India."

Soros’ Foundations to Cut 40% of Staff After Handover to Son

* Open Society had more than 500 employees at end of 2021
* Billionaire’s son Alex Soros was named chair in December

Open Society Foundations, the nonprofit founded by billionaire George Soros, plans to cut at least 40% of its staff in the coming months.

The charity, which earlier this month confirmed Soros, 92, was handing control to his son Alex, said Friday its board approved “significant changes” to its operating model. That includes “a substantial reduction in headcount of no less than 40% globally,” according to a spokesperson.

Soros has donated more than $32 billion to the nonprofit, which had more than 500 employees as of the end of 2021 and gives money to humanitarian and democratic causes ranging from criminal justice reform to climate change initiatives. It currently controls the majority of assets managed by his $25 billion family office.

“The Board aims to transform operations across the global network, with the goal of generating a nimbler organization,” said a statement, signed by the younger Soros and the nonprofit’s president Mark Malloch-Brown. “While Open Society works on these internal changes, the Board remains firmly committed to the Foundations’ core priorities — democracy, human rights, climate justice, and addressing inequity.”
