Monday is coming up and I'll be busy getting the fresh flowers ordered for the execs and making sure the kitchen is well stocked with cereal and snacks. It is important that the candy jars also be kept filled and that the furniture is correctly... — read more 

But at least we're getting four months paid. Not too many companies give that.

Bill D. was the only one who paid a price. The other two moved on because they have real careers and reputations to protect. They weren't let go, they got the hell out! When will we see the announcements about Ann D., her retinue of overpaid losers... — read more 

Looks like yet again us artists will take the brunt of the layoff.

I was at DreamWorks for 4 years. I started as Dragons was released and left when Me and My Shadow was cancelled. It was painfully obvious to most employees that DreamWorks had been carrying a lot of long time department heads for no obvious reason. A... — read more 

Dear Mr. Katzenberg, We would like to thank you for your continued support in workforce globalization. Clearly you understand the value of eliminating jobs in the U.S. where unions have capitalized on over paid employees. You are a beacon of... — read more 

PDI DreamWorks RIP

How many employees at DreamWorks Animation have president, officer, vp, staff, director, manager or executive in their title? Who does the actual work? I can guarantee it isn't these overpaid nine-to-fivers.

Today is awful for us at PDI. Guaranteed ratio of production to artists will still be on-to-one after the cuts. So good luck actually making your movies after you've cut all of us artists out. Fix it team Glendale, coming to a theatre near you.

Anyone know when the union is starting those Mandarin lessons? I'm looking to Mandrimate in the next month or so.

Total Compensation: $399,999 Nice work if you can get it. Beats lighting sequences that will get cut in the next script change.

Anyone know the legalities of laying off American workers before those on Visas? Have a feeling this could get ugly.

can be paid with the money spent on one LAX-SJC round trip on a private Global Express jet? Go ahead and add the cost of the catering, Lincoln Town and Escalade caravan up and down 101.

Its interesting to see, how leads and supervisors that threw others under the bus to save their necks, will likely be fired soon. Those people that said "I just need to hold on 5 more years for my kid to get out of school". Or those who said "All... — read more 

It's simple really; greed, incompetence and apathy. The DWA Board of Directors is the entity that rubber stamps JK's terrible business decisions. Who are these brilliant business minds? Mellody Hobson, Lew Coleman, Mike Montgomery, Tom Freston, Harry... — read more

What happens to the outsourced entity DDU and its cronies. Will it still exist or be gone with the wind.

We were always told it was a "gentleman's agreement" to not hire anyone unless they were done on a show at Disney, Pixar, etc. An artist, technicians, or production candidate had to reach out to us to even be considered. Never realized how illegal... — read more
