The year 2023 has been a year of layoffs over 3 Lakhs employees (1,600 people per day) were laid off in 2023.

The move of layoffs is part of a larger trend of tech companies cutting jobs and slowing hiring as investors become increasingly fearful of a recession. Tech companies have either frozen the hiring process or laid off many employees.

Disney has also begun more cuts, affecting about 2,500 workers. The firm announced in March that it would eliminate 7,000 jobs as it worked to rein in costs.
