Disney, unfortunately, will be furloughing some CMs:
The furloughs may actually not be terrible. The federal $600 boost alone equals roughly $15/hr based on a 40 hour week. It looks like for someone making ~$60k/year California would pay $450/wk. That means roughly $1,050/wk or $26.25/hr.
That is effectively about equal to $54,600 a year, and if Disney is making sure that health and insurance benefits stay in place, and covers the cost of those, for midrange earners they might not see much of a difference. So probably $55k to $60k and you almost recover your full earnings, going up from there the gap gets larger and larger.
If this hits lower end cast members (hourly park workers), I assume they’re not making more than $15 or $16/hr as is, which means CA payout and the federal boost would replace 100% (and more) of their income by equaling about $22.50/hr in unemployment pay.
It’s not great, but if Disney is very upfront and clear that jobs are not going anywhere but it’s a temporary measure, then employees might not feel too worried about being taken care of...
