Topics regarding layoffs at Disney

Here is an idea Disney

Reduce hours from 40 to 32 for everybody. For every 4 people who are reduced you can bring back another person. Disney would actually save money because its less benefits they have to pay. Reduced salaried pay by 20%. Temporary stop 401k matching... — read more

CEO’s comments on reorg

How many of us will still have a job?

HR & Executives- Here's a Suggestion

Suggestion: For those cast members that have been laid off, please consider providing us an annual pass for 2021. Naturally, it would have blackout dates and other restrictions, but that would be a nice gesture. God know we will NOT be able to... — read more

Disneyland/DCA Union Layoffs Have Begun

The union layoff notices have gone out today (got mine via email). I'm not sure if they did one big mass email or they'll be staggered throughout the week. I find the timing of it interesting that they send them out the same time they reveal the... — read more

How soon?

When do you think Disney will announce more layoffs? There was some blowback after the last round, so I'm hoping they might actually wait for a bit before they decide to pull the trigger one more time. Although, considering that the almighty dollar... — read more

New restrictive reopening guidelines for Disneyland do not make any sense. They don’t care about thousands of employees losing jobs at all! It will take years to repair this damage. Good luck to you people! From the news:... — read more

There seems to be no rhyme or reason, and the parameters are different all over the place. My wife's team let go the four newest hired managers to the team and the two newest coordinators (she had more company seniority than half the team and would... — read more

There's a lot I could say against Disney and how the company treats its employees, but it's really not fair to put these layoffs on the company. There is a pandemic going on. So many places are closed and those that are not anymore have seen their... — read more
