If you say so - same post: You just hedged across the board with a bunch of what ifs that didn't also come true. TOTAL STOCK COLLAPSE :hilarious: Reality: up 4.5% after hours, will probably close down from that tomorrow. 😂

Thank you for explaining that it takes a lot fewer workers to service a lot fewer visitors. Truly groundbreaking stuff there.

The lesson here is that if you just spend 20 years saying that the sky is falling, eventually one day you'll probably be right.

Nah, Iger pulled the trigger on the Fox purchase which left them exposed to the cash crunch. What is absurdist is holding onto Disney shares so you can go handwring on an Internet forum with "as a shareholder" riffs. If you're still in DIS, you probably fell for the wallet inspector too.

Then sell it. FIFY

So because I can write well, I’m the boogeyman. You all are trained well. In hindsight, the Fox merger was a catastrophic mistake - Iger should without a doubt be holding the bag on that. But pinning thousands of job losses in Florida to him when there’s not a single hospitality business...

Honest question here: there are a dozen hotels closed at WDW right now - do you propose that the company send those people to wander around shuttered hotels? Not sure if you’ve noticed, but the global tourism collapse is independent of hurr durr Bob Iger - those thousands lost their livelihood...

Hotel was FY17 blue sky funding ... aka well after SWL construction started. Thanks for the snark, maybe stay in your lane next time.

This is not at all how things transpired.

And add in lazy leaders who build walls around their high performers when those infrequent opportunities arise because replacing a 90th percentile performer with even a 50th percentile performer would expose that they don’t have any idea what they’re doing.

This is how Disney continues to pay its front-line managers peanuts - they’re indoctrinated to think that everyone who works for Mickey is in the same boat and those big numbers they see on Glassdoor for the multiple layers of support teams sitting in the air conditioning all day aren’t actually...

Right, because they aren’t operating anything in Burbank. It would make sense for an operations director-level at WDW to be over hundreds of frontline CMs. It would make no sense for a Burbank director to be over hundreds of analysts. Apples and oranges.

I said go look at Glassdoor because my knowledge of what my friends make aligns roughly with what’s there. A financial analyst on day one makes more than the most senior GSMs by a decent amount. If you don’t want believe that, I don’t know what to say.

That is not anywhere close to true. Go look up finance manager or marketing manager on Glassdoor and report back what you see. Not senior manager... just manager. And those are just the jobs titles that there are a lot of and doesn’t account for all the random corners of bloat. I’m just going...

I was going to say that the guy clearly doesn’t know what he’s talking about if he thinks a lot of the bloat is making *only* 75k/year. Might want to take a trip over to Glassdoor to look through Florida-filtered Disney Parks salaries. Most “middle management” Disney couples where both are CMs...
