According to the website called Babylon Bee, Walt Disney Company CEO Bob Iger has gone too far with his extensive layoffs within the Walt Disney Company.

The layoffs have recently started, and in a brand-new satirical article, Babylon Bee has teasingly said that “heavy layoffs at Disney have now left Snow White with only three dwarfs in her entourage.”

The satirical article mockingly declared that Iger had said the following: “with the way things have been going economically, and more specifically with regard to our revenue, cuts have to be made. It just wasn’t feasible to keep all seven of Snow White’s dwarfs.”

According to the satirical article, “once the dust had settled, only Doc, Happy, and Bashful were still employed. ‘We had to go through each dwarf on a case-by-case basis,’ Iger said. ‘Happy is happy. Bashful is quiet and easygoing. Doc has a Ph.D. That made the rest of the cuts easy to make.'”

The article went on, mockingly saying that “Grumpy, Sleepy, Dopey, and Sneezy were notified and given a brief moment to say their goodbyes to everyone before being escorted off the property by security”. The impacted employees “are now rumored to be living comfortably on unemployment benefits.”

The Babylon Bee also alleged that “Disney [and Disney CEO Bob Iger] was rumored to now be considering selling off at least 90 of the 101 Dalmatians.”

The article and its focus on Disney employees in the form of dwarfs might amuse some Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs fans, but its very existence is a testament to just how well-publicized Disney’s employment issues have been!
