I mean, I get it, I do. But I also worked in a department that was 90% men, and more left of center then right of center leaning (as a majority), and they’ve all said far grosser things to me (a woman). And you better believe I gave it right back to them and made more than one blush quite often...

I normally agree with many of your sentiments, but I’m not totally on board with you here. Server roles are Disney are often hard to get into (long waiting lists, must have experience), because the pay is good. Not the Disney pay, but the tipping. I was once on a cast bus back to the CM parking...

The full-timers are okay for now, I think. Many (maybe most? all? Not sure...) part-timers were let go today, though.

There’s some middle-of-the-roaders in both 3 and 4, too. I think there’s a fair number of people who would go to Disney if they didn’t require masks outdoors (unless in an area where social distancing isn’t possible) but kept the requirements when indoors and when on attractions. I think there’s...

Those are one that people choose to do and usually have to apply for. Not something people are forced to do. (Aside from temporary relocations like the workers at a closed water park, for example. But those are typically only for a month or two.)

When I was part-time, I often worked more than 40 hours a week. However, you can’t just say, “hey, I worked full-time hours this week, give me benefits!” You have to work more than X number of hours (I believe it is 32 for Disney, if memory serves correctly) consistently over a period of time. I...

Is IKEA the toll plaza’s new sponsor?

To be fair, I call them ALL idiots on both sides. I mean, in my first post, I called the failed kidnappers “idiots,” and I called the rioters “people.” But you’re right, I should be more careful with my language so as to be more clear. They’re all idiots.

I was just about to post this too. I’m no Trump fan (he’s an @**hole, I can’t stand listening to him speak, and I definitely didn’t vote for him), but not everything is his fault.

Wait, one random group of idiots fails at kidnapping someone, and that’s a bigger threat than the thousands of people in multiple cities across the country that have caused millions of dollars (if not more) in damage to businesses and property, and yes, have actually physically hurt, and in some...

I personally know 8 managers laid off (edited to add: so far). Two were in a department where all the managers, aside from their boss, were laid off. Maybe we don’t here about those so much because there’s not union spokesperson for middle management? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Either way, there’s definitely...

Says you. It IS miserable for some. It’s all I notice even when I’m in an air conditioned store for 30 minutes. No way I would survive Disney with a mask on all day, especially in the heat. But here’s a cookie for you being a superior human being, I guess? 🍪🤷🏻‍♀️

That was my department, and it certainly sounds as though most, if not all, were let go today. I think some still may have not been called, but tomorrow is another day. The general feel is the department is no more.

I got the call today, unfortunately. I was only seasonal, so no super huge loss for me money-wise, but I did have 11 total years with the company. Sad to see it end this way. Many part-timers in my department were also let go. Without being too specific, we were in a non-unionized...

No, to make sure they don’t get “canceled.” Silence is violence, you know.

Well, sure. But the after effects of the virus are going to be felt for a long time. Years, possibly. A lot of restructuring probably would have happened anyway, but I think a majority of it is happening because they know that they’re gonna HAVE to figure how to operate more efficiently. Again...

Why? There hasn’t been a Covid spike tied to any open theme parks in America so far. That should have been the green light for CA, seeing how it can certainly be open safely with minimal Covid spread. Really? I have a hard time imagine a non-Covid-19 world where Disney announces it’s laying off...

That’s not what I said. And I know that’s what the other guy said, but I’m just trying to give the benefit of a doubt to him because maybe he didn’t mean it that way either.

I can’t speak for him, but maybe he was looking at it through the lens of part-timers being more likely to still have health insurance through a significant other or parent or some other means, whereas most full-timers about to be let go are about to lose their health coverage. And part-timers...

Wait, so Knott’s is open?
