Severance for store employees

I'm wondering, did any of the store employees receive any kind of severance? I'm going to go out on a limb and say that any part-time employees didn't receive anything, but what about the full-timers? Were they also screwed over like so many of the... — read more

Not liking where this is going

I have no issues with vaccines. I've been twice-jabbed for months now. I do have an issue with too much work and I'm worried that the vaccine mandate might cause enough people to walk away to make my life even harder. With few people applying for... — read more

It's hard not to enjoy this

Every time I run into one of my former coworkers they seem more relaxed and happier. They all have one thing in common - they no longer work at Disney. With as many available jobs as there are, it seems people no longer depend on Disney and have... — read more

Where are you now?

I found myself landing a job that involved relocating. It’s in a different industry and I just couldn’t pass it up considering a family member helped me get in. I don’t think of Disney often anymore, not like I did when I was furloughed last year. I... — read more 

Let's talk DPEP to Florida

Oh, how the tables have turned

Who'd have thought that if you treat your employees like cr-p and kick them to the curb at the worst possible moment they won't rush back when you reopen and are desperate for more workers. Shocking, right? I love seeing that Disney is now offering a... — read more 

I turned them down

And it felt so damn good! For months I waited for a callback while others were returning to work and nothing. Now they finally decided to call me when they can't find enough people who want to work at all. Well, sc--w them! I've found a better... — read more 

Laid-Off Issue

In my department, greater than the majority of people were laid-off we’re overweight. No matter how positive our performance reviews... our senior executive never welcomed “fat” people, never considered for a promotion. Then, COVID and we were let... — read more

Would you come back?

After big layoffs, I found a job in a small company where I am very happy with the atmosphere, but I earn just enough to pay the bills. If nothing else I was making little more money at Disney and I'm debating whether to try to apply for a job again... — read more

Not sure if I should still be hopeful

Sometime at the beginning of the month I read a thread of someone being called back. Since then I’ve not heard anything other than that person being congratulated. I had thought there would be replies of others being called back, but there was... — read more 

Furloughed or Laid-off?: Will YOU Be Called Back???

Why is Disney So PC?

Why is Disney only PC? Will it cause additional issues for cast members? Who will be most impacted and lose they’re jobs in the next round coming soon? Why are most cast members especially in the parks not following four of the five keys?

Desperate times call for desperate measures

How much harder is it to work now?
