Is this the start of the D'Amaro purge?

Just saw the news about the latest round of layoffs hitting Disney, this time impacting around [number, e.g., 500] employees according to the LAT. It's wild how many cuts have happened in what feels like a relatively short period. Remember when they were talking about thousands being axed under Iger, and then a new wave under D'Amaro? This latest batch feels like it's really hitting the traditional entertainment divisions hard – film, TV, you name it. I'm starting to wonder if this is just the beginning. D'Amaro's been talking about 'efficiency' and 'culture' a lot, which sounds like corporate speak for 'get ready for more'. The rumor mill has been churning about streaming, parks, and even some of the legacy media arms. Feels like no one is truly safe. Anyone else in these divisions feeling the pressure? Or is this a sign that they're finally streamlining things to focus on streaming and theme parks, and everything else is on the chopping block?

It's definitely unsettling to see these repeated rounds of layoffs. Makes you wonder about the long-term strategy and if the focus has shifted dramatically away from core creative content. The impact on those divisions must be significant, both for the employees directly affected and for the morale of those remaining. Hope the company finds some stability soon.
