Disney Unveils Tiered Severance for First Rounds of Layoffs Under New CEO

Disney began layoffs under new CEO Josh D’Amaro and disclosed a tiered severance plan based on employee level and tenure: non-managers range from 4 weeks to 52 weeks, managers from 6 weeks to 52 weeks, directors from 13 weeks to 52 weeks, and VP+ from 26 weeks to 52 weeks. Some exiting employees also received prorated bonuses, paid vacation, and extended health coverage. The policy mirrors Disney’s employee handbook guidelines and follows a broader company realignment, as Disney pursues streaming profitability while sustaining its parks business; the cuts are compared with severance practices at Paramount, The Washington Post, and NBCUniversal.

NLRB's Employee Handbook Ruling Challenges Supreme Court

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has issued a split ruling that increases scrutiny of workplace rules, reversing a Trump-era decision that made it easier for employers to defend policies against claims they stifle labor rights. The ruling states that employer handbook policies violate the National Labor Relations Act if they have a "reasonable tendency" to dissuade workers from engaging in organizing activity, such as making workplace recordings and discussing concerns with colleagues. This decision may lead to litigation over laws that have already been unclearly defined by the Supreme Court, potentially restricting the NLRB's ability to protect worker interests.
