Starfish Posted January 12 Posted January 12 The Disney owned Pixar Animation Studios is set to cut jobs as the studio has completed production on some shows and now has more staff than it needs. Pixar is set to undergo layoffs as high as 20% this year, with the studio's team of 1,300 people reduced to under 1,000 over the coming months. Disney did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Disney CEO Bob Iger, who was brought back in 2022 to turn the company around, has signaled the company will reduce streaming content it makes itself in a bid to keep a lid on costs, and will license shows and movies from third parties. In June last year, Pixar eliminated 75 positions including those of two executives behind box office disappointment "Lightyear", Reuters reported, in what was at the time the studio's first significant job cuts in a decade. https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/disney-owned-animation-studio-pixar-poised-undergo-layoffs-2024-techcrunch-2024-01-11/

LustSpell Posted January 12 Posted January 12 (edited) The video game industry just absolutely got DESTROYED last year and now all these layoff continue into 2024 Stuff is grim. Stop these giant budgets on things you obviously cannot afford because it punishes the workers later on. Corporations are so ******* shortsighted for quick profit that they don't know this **** is gonna bite them in the ass later istg Edited January 12 by LustSpell
