No employer should have to tell you that...you should know that yourself when applying for a job such as a CM at WDW or Uni. If you don't know that, the education system in this country and/or your parents have failed you. That or you have been lied to by others...
Disney recently closed MK early to guests so the park can reopen to cast celebrating their years of service to TWDC. 10 - 40 plus years to service to provide magic to us, the guests.
They do pay their CMs enough to live indoors and eat. Are we going to pretend that personal responsibility for your own finances isn't a thing?
COL high in your neck of the woods? Think out of the box and look elsewhere at other towns cities that are lower priced. Smarter? I say spoiled and lazier.
Moving to a new city is not as easy as you suggest, nor is it without its own expenses.
Are you kidding me????
The idea one should just have one job to pay bills is nice to say but when in my earlier years I worked 6-7 days a week full time and part time job to pay down debt and speed up paying mortgage. Missed out on some fun but I knew I'd be in a better situation in the long run.
And your grocery bill would be much higher than it is now.
Everything has gone up except wages. My father made $500 a week and was able to buy a house in a good neighborhood in nyc in the 80s. That's $12.50 an hour. Now to buy a house in my neighborhood you need to make about $3000 a week. Wages haven't kept up with the price of goods.
But we’re not really talking about people making sacrifices for a period of time. We’re talking about a scale of demand that needs a significant portion of a metropolitan area to not only commit to making sacrifices now, but actually commit to making more sacrifices in the future as well as the cost of living rises. Tourism in Central Florida is not part time. It is not seasonal or just on the weekends. It is all the time and needs people who are going to work in the industry as their primary source of financial support.
Cost of living has consistently risen without wage growth. Minimum wage in the 80s and even 90s went alot further than it does now. I make 4 times what my father did and I can't afford the same things he did. And I make over 6 figures.
As I said, folks would not like my post.
Correct, but my statement is about Universal having discussions with Disney Unions.

isn't this what we should want? For the next generation to have it better? Isn't there something rather perverse about "I was treated poorly, so you have to be treated poorly too"? We have people on here sharing stories about situations that were ethically dubious if not outright illegal and people are upset that others don't want to share in that bad experience.
Younger employees have had the luxury of not having an economic collapse. Their parents suffered through the recession while they were in the protective bubble of college/high school. When they lose their jobs the next economic downturn and can’t find anything, let’s see how that picky mentality works out for them.
