Walt Disney Co. plans to cut thousands of jobs next week, including about 15% of the staff in its entertainment division, according to people familiar with the plans.
据彭博社报道称，熟知裁员计划的知情人士表示，华特-迪士尼公司（以下简称：迪士尼）将在下周裁员数千人，其中包括娱乐部门15%的员工。
The cuts will span TV, film, theme parks and corporate teams, affecting every region where Disney operates, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the details aren’t yet public. Some affected workers will be notified as early as April 24.
鉴于裁员的细节尚未公开，上述知情人士要求匿名，表示，“裁员，将涉及电视、电影、主题公园和企业团队，影响迪士尼运营的所有地区。”迪士尼最早将于4月24日通知一些受到裁员波及的工人。
The company declined to comment. Shares were down 0.6% at $100.35 in pre-market trading amid a broader decline in stocks.
对此，迪士尼公司拒绝予以评论。股市普遍下跌，迪士尼的股票在盘前交易中下跌了0.6% 至100.35 美元。
Disney said in February it planned to eliminate 7,000 positions from its workforce of more than 220,000, part of an overall strategy to shave $5.5 billion in annual costs. Cuts are being carried out across the company, the people said, including at Disney Entertainment, a unit created in a restructuring this year as a home for the company’s movie and TV production and distribution businesses including streaming.
今年2月，迪士尼曾表示，计划从220,000名员工里裁减7000人，这是其55亿美元年度成本削减战略的一部分。上述知情人士说，此次裁员将波及迪士尼的各个部门，包括迪士尼娱乐。迪士尼娱乐，是在今年的重组中成立的，负责迪士尼公司的影视制作和发行业务，包括流媒体业务。
As part of that restructuring, Chief Executive Officer Bob Iger moved to restore authority to creative executives. He elevated key lieutenants including Alan Bergman and Dana Walden, the co-chairmen of Disney Entertainment. With the company paring its commitment to general entertainment and focusing more on franchise properties and well-recognized brands, the entertainment division has emerged as a focus of the cuts.
作为重组的一部分，迪士尼执行长鲍勃-艾格开始恢复对创意主管的权力。他提拔了包括艾伦·伯格曼和迪斯尼娱乐公司的联席董事长达纳-瓦尔登在内的重要副手。随着对一般娱乐的投入的削减，迪士尼更多关注特许经营权和知名品牌，娱乐部门成为裁员的重点。
