Disney announced a new wave of layoffs that will eliminate hundreds of positions, with human resources and technology roles among the hardest hit. The move was reported by the Hollywood Reporter as part of the company’s ongoing effort to streamline operations.

Earlier this year, Disney had already announced a series of job cuts across several business units in an effort to reduce costs and realign its priorities.

Industry observers note that the cuts reflect a broader pattern of consolidation
