In April, a greater round of layoffs is planned, with 7,000 staff members to be let go before the start of the summer, according to the letter.
Iger admitted that as the business continues to develop the structures and operations that will allow it to succeed in the future, there will be challenges ahead for people who are not touched by the layoffs.
