DAVID MCNEW | AFP | Getty Images Prolonged closures of Disney’s California-based theme parks and limited attendance at its open parks has forced the company to lay off 28,000 employees across its parks, experiences and consumer products segment. In a letter sent to employees on Tuesday, Josh D’Amaro, head of parks at Disney, detailed several “difficult decisions” the company has had to make in the wake of the pandemic, including ending its furlough of thousands of employees. Around 67% of the 28,000 laid off workers were part-time employees, according to D’Amaro. The company declined to comment on how many from its parks specifically were let go. While Disney’s other theme parks in Florida, Paris, Shanghai, Japan and Hong Kong have been able to reopen to limited capacity, California Adventure and Disneyland have remained shuttered in Anaheim, California. “As you can imagine, a decision of this magnitude is not easy,” D’Amaro wrote in the letter obtained by CNBC. “For the last several months, our management team has worked tirelessly to avoid having to separate anyone from the company. We’ve cut expenses, suspended capital projects, furloughed our cast members while still paying benefits, and modified our operations to run as efficiently as possible, however, we simply cannot responsibly stay fully staffed while operating at such limited capacity.” This is a breaking news story.

南加房子要跌？赶紧存钱等抄底。
开吧开吧 你爱去就去
你怎么知道我们没有去呢？8月初去佛罗里达的迪士尼，环球影城，孩子玩儿的挺开心啊！
我天天等着lock down结束想旅游，同学说你敢去玩？我觉得很奇怪，有什么不敢的。。
我也纳闷，有什么不敢的？全程戴口罩，洗手液，wipes。有什么问题？虽然theme park很多attraction也没开，但是我家孩子大了，对什么meet character，fireworks，parade都不感兴趣了，就惦记着坐rides。现在限制人数，排队时间大大缩短，孩子说这次玩儿的最开心！
不会因为这个跌的，disney theme parks员工工资很低，靠disney工资有能力买房的本来就没几个。
他们不交房租，投资房会跌？捞到哪个是哪个。乘人之危沾点便宜。
haha, 你狠！
盘前跌了 大盘可能要往下了
同意
哈哈不说都忘了，之前那么大方，白送股份。
不用付房租，受法律保护。现在看，对底层好。就别做地主婆了
影响不大。大部分本来就是part time. 园区维护之类的工作。 Around 67% of the 28,000 laid off workers were part-time employees.
一直都是蓝州养着红州，蓝州破产了，红州自己吃自己吗？
造谣张嘴就来，where is the source? 明明就是一个好莱坞女星象征性的gift了几股给小女孩。
没错
这些捐赠给BLM 和民主党的 钱 付给员工最实惠了
感谢加州州长 shutdown 让大家都破产
航空公司早就让你们自愿离职了，离职给个不错的包裹
