On layoffs, very bad attendance, and Iger's legacy being one of disgrace

[Jrb1979]

They’re calling out “shutdowns” from people who have shutdown others...

They’ve got a point...myself included

Its why I rarely post much anymore. Its not worth responding to all the downplayers.

I don’t ever see them back to that level...to be honest.

It’s a gangly beast they’ve been trying to tame since AT LEAST the year 1999. I can verify that. But I was told that it started no later than the early 90’s in reality.

It’s a worry.

Speaking of attendance.... it seems like attendance has been up this weekend?

Disney...to their credit...has stated a 12/31 endpoint on bennies. That’s at least something.

@Sirwalterraleigh Can you provide a link to the information of benefits ending date?

Weekends tend to be busier.

I got that from a CM who posted their extension of furlough letter here one day last week. I think. Second-handed info and may not be applicable to all.

It’s deja vu all over again

I posted the mgm resorts link earlier...there are key points unsaid in there.

Layoffs for real...benefits kept through 9/30.

That’s 10/1...which is still largely under the radar.

10/1 - The start Of a new fiscal year.

Additional AP reservation openings and cast members and family members were unblocked.

Threads like this are starting to resemble soap operas, in that if you miss a day or two, it can be very difficult to piece the plot together.

I have no idea what is now being discussed or how we arrived here.

Anyone receiving any of the federal covid bailout money was required to maintain “furloughs” through 9/30

That doesn’t make the suits raise any eyebrows.

They’ll continue working on the planned layoffs with proper zeal tomorrow morning

Weekends have been busier for the last month. Caps have come close to being reached in not just DHS.

Weekdays are still a different story.

I can say even with weekends feeling chaotic, they are averaging 12,000 a day in attendance, which has to be good enough for these times,but feels far busier with the spacing and lower efficiency.

Epcot even exceeded that twice. Was quite a surprise.

Amazing what letting people in can do.
Uni broke it the last two weeks, extended hours yet again for next week and opened some formerly shuttered quick service food locations back up on weekends.

The daily attendance in MK is closer to 17,000, right now. Usually, it’s 70,000.

In all fairness, Epcot has the highest cap and that wasn’t reached.

12,000 a day would be 4.3 million a year...just as a reference point.

Still on the path to nowhere
