Sadly, this is common big business practice in all industries these days, and Disney is certainly BIG business. Disney’s public “wholesome for the whole family” image does not apply to it’s business plan. And for a company that employs tens (hundreds?) of thousands of people internationally, 250 is really a pretty small number - especially compared to a car company that closes a plant (to outsource it) and drops 10 times that number.
I’m not “defending” outsourcing - I think it pretty much sucks - but it has become the unfortunate “standard” business model in this era of globalization for any corporation that wants to remain “competitive” in the international market.
