Maybe they shouldn't be announcing new projects and new deals costing millions during a pandemic
Yeah, I’m lost on that one too? Maybe they’re ticked about the Splash Mountain retheme that doesn’t even have a timeframe yet.?????
Well, it's a "news article" based on a rumor by an individual on a certain forum who doesn't always have the best track record when it comes to their rumors (especially recently). So, no, I don't think it's the end of Disney.I don't know how true it is, but I found this: https://boundingintocomics.com/2020...e-massive-layoffs-bob-iger-on-chopping-block/ Does this mean it's the end of Disney?
Okay, thanks.Well, it's a "news article" based on a rumor by an individual on a certain forum who doesn't always have the best track record when it comes to their rumors (especially recently). So, no, I don't think it's the end of Disney.
With Universal reducing park hours and laying people off, should we expect the same at Disney?
I would expect the layoffs (within parks and resorts; there are likely to be layoffs in other units of TWDC as well) to focus more so on mid-level management roles and certain Office and Technical roles, especially those in roles that are temporarily obsolete due to the pandemic like Event Services, Fairy Tale Weddings, Disney Meetings, group marketing, Disney Sports Enterprises, even Holiday Services. While there may be some front-line CMs involved, I’d expect way more to be in the aforementioned areas. It’s was UOR did and no doubt Disney will follow suit.It really depends on what the current staffing situation is at WDW. It doesn't seem like there are "excess" CM's around the parks based on reports from those actually there.
Maybe they shouldn't be announcing new projects and new deals costing millions during a pandemic and focus on taking care of the CMs that are the real face of Disney and don't make much to start with.
The changes at Disney are not for the best. It's slowly turning into a giant weekend carnival. The people running the parks should treat guests and yes employees as we expense.Anyone who even thinks Disney would take care of their employees is living in Fantasyland. WDW thinks of their employees as indentured servants, not employees or Cast Members. Not since the first 10-yrs of the Eisner Reign have employees felt like valued members of "The World".
