Well that’s such a TINY fraction of the wdw employees. Not the best comparison to make on whether working for Disney is “professionally rewarding”

Probably not entirely as it's a revenue generator. Tweets I've seen have been mostly involving Disneyland photopass.

Source? I'm not sure that the entire department is cut...

Twitter. Type in photo pass on the search. IDK if its the whole dept but A LOT of them got the call.

They can't cut the entire department without an uproar from AP holders who have been promised photopass pics. What they're probably keeping are the behind the scenes folk, the automated pic taking and a few key positions (main street for starters).
Not the entire thing. I imagine quite large behind the scenes Photopass roles at the DRC that work on customer service and retrieval aspect of Photopass. It is not likely that many needed these days.

I don’t disagree. But many of the people we are talking about (head chefs now included) were in good paying, professionally rewarding, full time positions.

love that. NBA players have been so good at giving back for years.

As someone who may or may not be union CM at WDW, I can say that Disney has always held the rights to do lay offs when needed (Even during covid). There are just a few steps that the company has to follow in order to do it.
Well, we'll never know which well-known named WDI employees were fired if they had NDAs that keeps them from telling anyone they were fired!

Scott Trowbridge posted an Instagram a message that could be taken either way.
I’m going to guess Joe is on some sort of leave, he hasn’t returned to the office since quarantine. If they want to go ahead with Bahamas they will need him for political reasons.
Hopefully Steve stays around as long as possible.
Anyone else?
NBA players from a previous thread post a member advised players bought thousands of dollars of items to occupy their time while staying at WDW resorts. Just donate them to WDW cast members who are being laid off. Since the millionaire salaried NBA players have stayed at WDW resorts at their team's expense, what about leaving a very generous tip before checking out of the hotel?

Unions and WDW surely will meet to discuss layoffs and etc. In regards to CA, unions in DLR have advised in FB to cast , union cast ( in food and beverage for example ) would start to be laid off starting Nov 1 and non union, salaried and executive in process of getting laid off.
