News Disney to offer some Cast Members two days off this year with pay as part of the company's 'Power Up Days' mental health program

As I understand it, it is two additional company holidays. The Friday before Memorial Day and Friday October 7th.

That's how Corporate and DMED are doing it. Parks people will have more flexibility because the parks business is 365 days and they can't just have their whole staff disappear for two of them. Other 365 day operations like News and Sports production will handle it similarly.

It's not that expensive if it boosts CM morale and positivity.

No change with the attendance policy to go with it I hope. I've known companies to give PTO but do away with the same amount of occurrences before disciplinary action.

Two days off?.. but hey here is some more mandated overtime.

What's wrong with 2 more days off?

What's wrong with 2 more days off?

Absolutely nothing except there are those here that complain about nearly anything.

Just sounds like a shiny new name for PTO?

And was wrong with more PTO

Ding ding ding. They hate the management and absolutely NOTHING short if committing suicide would makes these folks here happy.

Plenty of companies have different categories of PTO for different uses.
