Disney will lay off 28,000 people in the United States. Why?

In 2020, many industries were affected by the epidemic, and even many small and medium-sized enterprises went bankrupt under the influence of the epidemic. This year is really difficult. Let's see which industries are affected by the epidemic.

The first catering industry, a few days before and after the Spring Festival every year is the peak season of the catering industry. People who do catering are ready to make a fortune during the Spring Festival, so restaurants of all sizes have prepared a lot of ingredients before the Spring Festival. However, an epidemic broke out at the beginning of the year, and people all over the country were trapped at home and could not go out for reunion. So many restaurants not only didn't make money, but lost money. Besides, there are other industries such as tourism. During the epidemic, people can't move, so traveling will naturally fail. At the same time, the film industry, hotel industry and trade industry have all been affected. Many domestic and foreign import and export trading companies are affected by the epidemic and their business is bleak. Many of them couldn't hold up and went bankrupt. Anyway, it can be said that all walks of life have been affected by the epidemic this year.

Unexpectedly, Disney, the fairy tale kingdom, began to lay off a large number of employees because of the epidemic. On September 29th, Disney announced that it would lay off 28,000 people in American theme parks, accounting for 25% of the total employees of Disneyland. 67% of the layoffs are hourly workers, and some of them are also on the layoff list. It is said that about 365,438+0,000 people were put on unpaid leave because California Governor newsome refused to reopen California Disneyland. Now, although Florida Disneyland has reopened, the number of people entering the park is not as good as expected. According to the latest report, as of June 27th, 2020, Disney's net loss in the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 was USD 4,765.438 million+RMB 80 million (nearly RMB 33 billion), the first quarterly loss in the past 20 years.

So in desperation, Disney can only make this choice. Disneyland said that? Sad as it is, the COVID-19 epidemic continues to cause heavy losses to the company? Disney has no choice but to lay off employees. I hope the global epidemic will pass quickly and all industries will be rejuvenated!
