Affected workers include staffers at studios like Pixar, Lucasfilm, and Marvel, but the vast majority of impacted employees are from Disney’s lucrative theme parks and resorts, which are currently closed down entirely. Furloughed employees will still receive health benefits (at least, those who qualify for them already), but will go without pay until the company decides otherwise. The furloughs are expected to save the company roughly $500 million per month, but executive-level bonuses at Disney are currently unaffected, leaving some wondering why the company is forcing its low-level employees to seek federal assistanc, when Disney itself has roughly $20 billion in liquidity to keep its workers fed and sheltered.
