Oh noz!

Layoffs got underway at Disney's Pixar Animation Studio on Tuesday, with 14% of the workforce cut, TheWrap has confirmed. That amounts to around 175 employees who are leaving the company as part of Disney's spending cuts. Prior to the reduction, roughly 1,300 people worked at the animation studio

It’s crazy how many people some of these companies employ. Makes me wonder how many of them are actually necessary

Pixar films used to take years to make and design. I'm sure AI will eliminate most of the design jobs in the very near future.
Guess Disney shouldn't have gutted their creative leadership team on a MeToo whim....

Disney destroyed Pixar and it is a sad, sad thing. Pixar made not just some of the greatest animated movies, but legit just great movies overall before 2010.

Oh I was assured by multiple posters here that they’re doing great, despite no evidence whatsoever for that.

Most companies have twice as many employees as they need to function, and it's even worse as you go up the ladder.

It really is... whenever I hear writers complaining about being short staffed I always remember that Woody Allen wrote Annie Hall by himself in 4 days
Tech though is completely out of control... you hear about Google/Facebook/etc laying off 2% and it's like 24000 people

Seems like the mantra at the time Elon took over Twitter was that him laying off thousands of employees would reduce the quality / efficiency of production there? And they turned out to not miss a beat. Guess they really were all non-essential.

Honestly, Elon should buy Pixar and give them the creative freedom Apple did and late 2000s Disney did, fire all the Woke, scrap any project that’s shite, bring back John Lasseter and any other animation genius he can get, and maybe do a four year hiatus return with Inside Out 3, The Incredibles 3, or Finding Hank as its flagship so long as they’re as good as those originals. Buzz and Woody should ride off into the sunset and not touch that property again.

Look at Twitter going from 7500 to 1500 and running the exact same

And then totally scrapped not just the script but the entire premise of the movie, after shooting the damn thing, entirely reconstructing what he shot into a rom com in post.
This doesn't invalidate your point, but it makes Annie Hall a really weird example to use.

As much as i think Elon is a douche, he 100% proved that a lot of these huge companies have extreme bloat in staffing.

It was originally a drama murder mystery.
