On layoffs, very bad attendance, and Iger's legacy being one of disgrace

[Castmbr]

That to me is a sign they expect a shutdown...just a guess

The BlockOut calendar for Cast shows that Self Admission is blocked from Aug 3 - Oct 31

I wasn’t gonna say it...

Because I’ve been saying exactly that on forums for 20 years.

...I’m working on some “new material”

I was gonna say something about a "male sheath shaped prophylactic device" and a safety pin, but I wanted to keep it G rated.

You've never been to Aulani, eh?

Aulani internally is viewed as an overbudget mistake...
One where they’ve spent 10 years trying to spend their way out of it.

Might not be the best example to support iger’s “creative impulses”

They're union members forbidden from striking in a right to work state.

It's like getting into a car accident, but your airbag is just a pillow taped to the steering wheel. It might help, but it probably won't.

Can always leave and work somewhere else I guess

That’s “exhibit B”

You’re better than that. That’s a very popular excuse for those that hold the other end of the chain

I was a contractor for 10 years and loved the freedom. Just my experience

Because there's so many jobs available right now.

Aulani started under Eisner.

There will be shortly -- in the teaching profession...

Always the excuse as well

That's true.

How many CM's hold the qualifications for a teaching license in Florida?

It's not an excuse. It's a fact.

Who knows?

For the time being, I think they're counting on people being desperate enough to visit and pay whatever they want to charge. Compensate low attendance with higher resort rates.

That’s fine...but it doesn’t change my “acceptance” of unreasonable imbalance.

Very few are working at wdw as their life’s dream

LOL...reverse supply and demand curve. It'll be fine.

So did the preliminaries for shanghai...but he was gone long before

They still approved it and improved it. Aulani is the finest domestic resort and it's not close.

1. Aulani
Huge gap.
2. Grand Californian
Medium gap.
3. Animal Kingdom Lodge
Huge gap.
Everything else.

That’s the “theory”...but that’s wrong in this case.

They needed to go to a different school of economics

That is probably true. I can only worry about my life and not the perception of neighbors lives ... that is their responsibility as an individual with opportunity. You just hope that leaders that are your employers make good decisions to make employment possible and tolerable. If not it is time to move on and can be a difficult decision.
