Shadow laid off at Hilton Head Resort

[spresso81]

I have attached an article which provides some context and describes his Facebook post. It is really getting harder and harder to defend this company. The Disney difference used to be to provide guests with extra when staying at a resort. Now they do not seem to care about this by stripping out entertainment and treating hard working people horribly.

One group of people you don’t want to PO is DVC members and they are getting very vocal about this one

This, to me, is the worst part of this layoff:

B’Lou continued to hold up his end of their agreement by not pursuing other compensation throughout the shutdown.

So, the poor guy sat at home and didn't take any paying gigs this whole time because he was loyal to the company, and this is how they repay him?

The DVC-ers ought to be livid about it.

So now Disney is reduced to kicking puppies...out of a job.

Way to go, Iger!

It wasn’t. Hilton Head’s one entertainer, B’Lou Crabbe, a staple of the resort for the last 20 years doing all kinds of shows, activities, and Shadow’s official handler/owner, has been on furlough essentially since the resort reopened in June 2020 with the continued communication and expectation that he and Shadow would return eventually. They were finally called a week or two ago and told that they would not be returning and posted the news himself to his fan page and personal page. So yes the performer and the dog itself were let go.

Maybe research next time before proclaiming that people jumped to conclusions and don’t know the full story.

Maybe lose the attitude Disney dawg. I read the link provided and it did not offer any reasons for villifying disney. All it does is give conclusions on absent evidence or maybe I should take the word of some poster on the internet

The second article posted provides some more details and context. That one should tell you all you need to know. There really is no way to make this not look awful.

Firing a dog is honestly the kind of thing you'd expect to see from the villain in a Disney live action kids movie.

No, I know. Just trying to point you in the right direction. I didn't mean for that to sound snarky.

For whatever reason, I picture the villain in a Hallmark movie doing this, but without the redemption arc that villain usually gets.

That would work too. I was thinking about the movies Disney aimed at kids that they churned out in the 90s, where the villains were usually absurdly over the top.

Disney dawg?
They got let go.

Sleazy even for contemporary Disney.

Gonna need someone to do a hybrid photoshop of Bob Chapek and Cruella de Vil

Disney wrote the book on providing magic at a resort, and seem to be burning the pages every day.

"Shadow The Unemployed Dog" sounds like an episode of The Wonderful World of Disney from the 70s.

Punishing loyalty...

The Disney difference!

I mean doesn’t he look just like one of those villains?

Someone must not have told whoever is responsible for the cut that Shadow is prominently featured on Hilton Head merch…

I would think that the expense of the entertainment would be charged to the DVC owners as part of the overhead? As such, I would think it nice/reasonable to ask the owners’ perspective on this.

I wouldn’t think his employment should have touched TWDC’s bottom line so I wonder if there’s more to the story.
