Disney succession race to replace CEO Bob Iger now down to two final candidates: report
D’Amaro’s public profile has left insiders with the impression that he is the favorite to emerge in what has become a two-horse succession race.nypost.com
It’s cute everyone thinks Bob is actually leaving.
I can actually buy the idea of Iger wanting to freeze himself more than I can buy Walt doing it.Bob can totally leave, and will. Eventually...
You're mixing timelines now
Chapek never got the office. It was in the NYT hit piece on Iger.
No it was not.

No you’re wrong. Chapek specifically complained that even when Iger left as chairman he still did not get Igers office and then he was gone a couple of months after.No it was not.
Again, the NYT reference is to when Iger went from CEO to board member. It's not referenced again in the NYT story.
And others also reported on this and say once Iger actually retired fully - BC took the space
Disney's Bob Iger kept Bob Chapek from taking his office with private shower when he took over as CEO
Bob Iger held onto the office he used as CEO of Disney while he stayed on as executive chairman and Bob Chapek took over the CEO job, CNBC reported on Wednesday.
Disney's wildest ride: Iger, Chapek and the making of an epic succession mess
Here's the inside story of the executive chaos at Disney over the past few years — and how it could shape the fate of the iconic entertainment company.
Iger did leave - the consultancy payout doesn't change that.. which is why the board members had to come to him on his terms.
Chapek as much as I couldn't stand him really did get screwed over and put in a situation that would have driven anyone insane. He was very clearly "set-up" to fail.
Oh, I am not saying he was not WELL compensated for it.
I am not "defending" him. His creative approach was as bad if not worse than Iger and he almost single handedly undid all the work WDI had done to make DCA a cohesive quality park. That being said I will acknowledge he should have never even have been considered for CEO and the circumstances behind his hiring and subsequent firing are suspicious to say the least.I can’t believe we are sainting Chapek now.
He was served a couple of bad cards. But his demise was entirely his own. Most of the unwinding came via Wall Street down to his overhyping DTC. Misleading subscriber growth and dumping content to D+. His laundry list of other social flubs gave him no capital to weather that final quarter.
