    News Disney World Cast Member unions to begin week of negotiations for wage increases, healthcare costs and more

    In your anecdote it is possible that the vendor in question obtained the merchandise through legitimate means, or that they were not a Disney cast member themselves. Therefore, the anecdote provided does not necessarily prove that Disney cast members can resell merchandise without risking being...

    News Disney World Cast Member unions to begin week of negotiations for wage increases, healthcare costs and more

    Just because allowing tattoos may require middle management to make subjective judgments does not necessarily mean that all situations will be problematic. In other words, by merely allowing tattoos it is not at all certain that a path is now set --- that middle management will now be spending...

    News Disney World Cast Member unions to begin week of negotiations for wage increases, healthcare costs and more

    Here are some logical fallacies in your argument: Hasty Generalization: Your argument uses a single example of a potentially offensive tattoo ("bone daddy bad daddy" Jack Skellington Tattoo) to generalize that all tattoos could be seen as inappropriate by guests. This assumes that all tattoos...

    News Bob Iger outlines the need to transform the Walt Disney Company resulting in 7000 job losses and $5.5 billion in cost savings

    Employee motivations are complex and cannot be simply classified as "all about Disney" or "all about themselves". Hard disagree there. There's a give and take relationship between employer and employee just like most any other relationship in life. Of course, the employer can absolutely...

    News Bob Iger outlines the need to transform the Walt Disney Company resulting in 7000 job losses and $5.5 billion in cost savings

    Hey man, I never for a second said I supported this online petition nor did I say the employees shouldn't go back to work when their boss said so. I was just offering some personal anecdotes and context in my own career and those of my peers. These strawmans you build up in your replies are...

    News Bob Iger outlines the need to transform the Walt Disney Company resulting in 7000 job losses and $5.5 billion in cost savings

    Either you can do the job or not in our capitalist society... an employee's investment in the company is secondary. I mean most employees have zero financial ownership of the company to begin with, they are only valuable insomuch as they are able to bring value to that company's bottom line...

    News Bob Iger outlines the need to transform the Walt Disney Company resulting in 7000 job losses and $5.5 billion in cost savings

    Lot of gen x / boomers in anti-wfh camp would be my guess. Which is understandable, younger people grew up fully embracing the internet and really don't know a world where their office job wouldn't be plugged in to the net. There's a huge generational difference towards attitudes of working...

    News Bob Iger outlines the need to transform the Walt Disney Company resulting in 7000 job losses and $5.5 billion in cost savings

    Agreed on the petition signing being dumb and pointless but I thought you were critiquing, in general, the concept of people not wanting to go back to the office to do a job they have proven capable of doing from home. My mistake.

    News Bob Iger outlines the need to transform the Walt Disney Company resulting in 7000 job losses and $5.5 billion in cost savings

    That is likely what will happen. Why cheerlead this disruption to peoples' lives? Edit: Yes this petition won't accomplish anything and putting your name out there is dumb, that I agree with you on. :)

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    I imagine most of the (construction) work the improvement district approves is not very woke and interfering with it just to be jerks, clogging up the pipelines, would be a terrible economic look.

    News Reedy Creek Improvement District and the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District

    Disney will now just be forced to open their Chicagoland theme park a couple decades early and just wait for global warming to catch up. Universal can have Texas and its 100 days of 100 degree summers.

    Why do we get emotional?

    How about this exchange from Walking Distance, where a man revisits his childhood only to be told by his dad that you only get one chance to truly be young before you need to move on? Can't tell if it's informing me to move on from Disney or to make sure my kids feel the same way I did as a kid...

    News Bob Iger outlines the need to transform the Walt Disney Company resulting in 7000 job losses and $5.5 billion in cost savings

    I've never seen so much textbook ignorance of organizational behavioral theory. People work for money, sure, that keeps them from becoming dissatisfied. But there's another side to that coin too. People like a sense of achievement in life, feeling important, being recognized, etc. The idea...

    News Bob Iger outlines the need to transform the Walt Disney Company resulting in 7000 job losses and $5.5 billion in cost savings

    All good! No need to apologize. And I agree that it's totally possible to be critical of the major news outlets and not have it be politically driven. I just was answering the question of "how could me blaming <<mainstream media>> for <<deliberately misleading the public>> possibly be...

    Here, I added back this commentary that you failed to include from Pew's own writeup describing the graphic you just shared. I have also included screenshots of the links provided in the same Pew source you just shared that refer to politically critical views of mainstream media. This should...

    Would be an absolute whiff if they do anything noteworthy with Pandora that won't require a DCA ticket.
