Disney plans hiring freeze, some jobs cut......

[Goofyernmost]

I mean…

…like…since 1997?…maybe (probably) prior?

This didn’t start in February 2020…

So are you agreeing or denying? Your intent isn't coming through with your words.

I never said people love it. And it’s main reason of existence is not so they can cut labor. There’s also a difference between physical capacity and operational capacity.

Especially since they took all those benches away so people have ABSOLUTELY NO place to even sit when it gets crazy busy…(which is why I LOVE the MK refuge that is TSI…)

Oh that drives me insane too, I bring it up to higher ups any chance I get

If you're sitting, you're not spending.

Your wallet should be in your hands and open, not underneath you.

Please continue to do so. The MK mid afternoon early October was miserable - so many guests just sat around with nothing to do. On kerbs. On planters. Literally on the floor.

Agree…completely.

But also acknowledging that we all have slept through 3/4 of the movie and that’s why it doesn’t “make sense” now

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

There was no announcement that travel has been "frozen".

Of course not.

Not doing whatever you want everyday on the corporate level is a “weakness” on the street.

No announcement/acknowledgement ever.

I am glad you believe that and sincerely hope you are right. But WDW has a long history of cutting when it's doing well in order to help make the company better.

Bob's memo went out to all of his leadership, not all of his leadership except parks.

Thats how memos work.

There are other areas that won't see cuts and they also got the memo. Doesn't mean anything.

The elimination of massive bonus's replaced by real worth bonus's would probably have met the targets without layoffs. The way they are doing it is like taking the engine out of a car to save on gas usage. You save money but get nowhere.

However cruel, Wall Street likes it when companies re-org .

More people would open their wallets if Disney had any quantity of decent merchandise. Are all the shops even back open finally?

If they got rid of Chapek today, what really changes tommorow?

D+ will still be the ticking time bomb in the corner.
Studios and TV will still be hemorrhaging.
Parks will still be the beat up ATM in the shady part of town that all the other divisions have to use to prop themselves up.

Unless they want to nuke everything and spin stuff off, nothing changes no matter who the pretty face is at the top. #1 Bob leveraged his ego to rack up debts the company would never be able to pay back.

With the “park pass” system not working as planned, and the parks crowded beyond belief with a system that blatantly doesn’t work, other changes are afoot. I’ll post elsewhere.

Can you share the link to that thread, please? I would love to follow that discussion.

Unfortunately this is what makes chapek the perfect instrument - in the streets eye - for now.

People chirped when they extended him…but it makes perfect sense. For him too. He’s the perfect hatchet man. And he gets rich quick in his 60’s

This arrangement is so easy…like fishing with dynamite.

As I mentioned elsewhere, more changes are possibly on the way in an attempt to fix the system.

Dated one park, one day tickets. No reservation needed since you reserve when buying (see Paris)

Other media, potentially hoppers and resort packages with tickets, and also ticket add ons, will also be date based when purchased. Sales will stop for a given day when a limit is reached.

Prices for all the above will vary depending on day / date and park.

Hopping limits are likely to be removed for various admission media.

These changes could be implemented in the near term.

Nothing changes because there is desire or willingness to blow everything up to change direction.

What are the odds ? Chapek last I heard was looking into ESPN getting into the betting game.
