Layoffs happening in San Diego today. Already started.

So far horticulture an for culinary are being targeted.

Is it true that VPs are being laid off recently. Disclaimer: I do not work for SeaWorld, just curious (heard a rumor).

I know that people are concerned - don’t be - but I heard from someone pretty high up in our corporate office that they planned layoffs but that plan was abandoned, so we are safe here in Orlando.

Open enrollment postponed until Oct 23. Last year it was all completed by Oct 6. I heard it will be during the week of Oct 16th.. I heard Thursday or Friday. Sounds like all the rumors are targeting that week. Good luck to all.

Everybody's a little skittish so figured I'd get this thread warmed up again. Any rumors ladies and gentlemen? Something seems off at the director/VP level...

Has anybody heard of any layoffs coming soon at SeaWorld?

Latest rumor is April 2nd for more cuts......it won't be an April Fools joke

Brand new policy for the lucky b#$#@#ds that get a severance. They won't be getting the "Enhanced Package". No, no, no...That is NOT how love works! They will get the new and improved "Reduced Package". So, we better start using up the 2017 vacation... — read more

What positions were eliminated?

You should read the company press release and not all of the stuff you see on the internet. The formal press release has all of the details. Not 600, but rather 320.

It's just downright painful to go to work these days. The waiting is really dragging everybody down. Any so called efficiency is more than shot now. Nobody's smiling, nobody's enthused, nobody cares, nobody knows if they will have a job tomorrow... — read more 

This company does not care about us at all, this isn't the anheuser busch days... It's sad to say that you shouldn't respect a place that you've put 10, 15, 20, 30 + years of your blood sweat and tears into... But that's what it is. The sun is... — read more

I made the company millions & they never said thank you. I told them long before I retired in 2002 that they was going to loss their jobs after I left there & I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't get bought out. You haven't seen anything yet. Just... — read more 

Seems like the senior management team keeps laying off staff. Perhaps they can't do their job and need to go. Anybody can get rid of staff to make the numbers, even a frog. Try thinking out of the box. But it might affect the bonus.

Very quiet this morning... calm before the storm perhaps?

The latest... who is going to be left??

It's happening today - not sure why everyone is so quiet

I know that my modest and humble opinion does not matter much, but I can tell you that our executives are way too greedy (today) and that is putting us all in danger here in Orlando.

Attendance at SeaWorld Entertainment parks during second quarter fell by 7.6 percent causing overall revenue drop of 5% to $371.1 million . Much lower visitation in Florida locations, financial situation in Texas and California showing some... — read more 

Top Heavy at Corp !!! Two many in VP, DIR, doing same job. Very Redundant . Very unprofessional . CEO has to look at Corp Office

What is the likelihood of SeaWorld Entertainment layoffs in Orlando in 2016? Please let me know if you have any information.

The company is trying to save $50 million in annual cost savings in 2015. In order to achieve the goals they will have to cut some positions.

A SeaWorld announced new layoffs. Revenue dropped because problem of the marine parks from animal rights activists. They haven't specified yet which positions will be lost, but job cuts will come.

SeaWorld will release a project to double the size of its orca tanks. I doubt that will satisfy animal-rights activists, who want the company to release its whales into sea pens.

SeaWorld announced a new program that will affects employees. Laid-off workers should receive severance packages, but certainly not as much as Atchison's severance package. CEO is stepping aside and he will become vice chairman of the board. I wonder... — read more
