Changes in Jobs

There have been so many changes within the Walt Disney Company over the past year. The biggest surprise came with the exit of former Disney CEO, Bob Chapek back in November 2022.

As Bob Iger returned as Disney CEO, he announced huge job reductions. This would come with a workforce reduction of 7,000 jobs. The first round of layoffs shocked many as Disney executives were among the first to be let go.

Executives Changes

Everyone’s favorite “cutting portion sizes would be good for waistlines” CFO, Christine McCarthy, announced that The Walt Disney Company on June 30,2024.

According to Iger, she graciously offered to move into an advisory position until then to assist her successor in assuming the duties she has so expertly handled these many years.
