Proper CM Conduct Off Stage

[mkt]

Are you serious? You seem "offended" by this CM for being human? So what ?they make fun of stupid things....don't you? Maybe they need to vent after a pathetically low paying job where they must be worked hard in extremely hot weather, with little respect from visitors? I mean really, do you expect these people to be robots? You really sound ridiculous posting this topic. I am not condoning Twittering about specific people in a negative way..BUT come on...the whole world Twitters and FAcebooks things that could be taken in many ways. Do you work and deal with people who expect perfection from Disney all day? Just curious?PS.. I don't mean to offend anyone on here, but this post really got under my skin.

No. But I am offended by your use of Comic Sans.

In fact, I can't take you seriously at all. Remove that font. Remove it now. Please.

Most companies have social media policies that limit what can be posted regarding the company. I work for a health system and all of our employees sign an agreement every year accepting the terms. unfortunately we have had to terminate employees because of facebook & twitter postings. Again it all depends on what's posted and with us being a health system, personal health information has to be protected and not shared with the world lol.

Some do. Most don't. General disclosure policies usually cover this, so a specific social media policy is redundant.

That's "one case," not "most of the time." Florida is a right-to-work state. Connecticut is not.

I live in a "right to work" state and I don't know of many employers who take advantage of this to terminate employees. While it is true that they can do this. They usually don't want the unemployment claim that will be associated with a "no cause" termination. Also many employees would welcome the free pass to collect unemployment benefits.

generational........ but who really cares.... a CM had a bad day..... please.... because there is all this talk on TV about the personal/private government officals let's not let it bleed into WDW... Alot of these CM's are college kids/young people, not all, but alot.. I don't think holding college age kids to a "higher standard" on their own personal time time is wise. Think back to your late teens /early twenties.....

I will never understand people who get so upset when they find out CM's aren't perfect Disney robots in real life. Why are you stalking a CM's twitter anyhow when you probably don't know them? :shrug:

Although I will say this person should watch out because it is definately within Disney's rights to fire them for it. It almost happened where I work because of certain things that were posted on Facebook. It happens everywhere.

My thoughts exactly...that is exactly what I was trying to get across. It's like people really think these workers should be almost like in a Disney trance...LOL

I am not asking YOU to take me "seriously" at all and relax about the font...remember we are all different and like different things and have different opinions...this forum is really scary...

Most states won't let you collect unemployment if you were terminated for cause. A lot of people don't realize this, they think they have a safety net when they get fired, (not laid off), only to find they aren't legally entitled to collect.
Surprise!

It's just kind of hard to read.


On topic, (I think ) but I agree that everyone should have an outlet. I've worked retail in the past. Sometimes people can really push your buttons. Most customers aren't that way though. I think, and obviously this is only my opinion, people should really watch out what they post on public sites. Don't post anything that you aren't willing to shout out loud. To your boss, your co-workers, the general public. They tend to forget it really isn't private.... at all! We have lot's of anti-discrimination laws, lots of feel good stuff on the books. On the one hand people swoon and ring their hands if someone makes a racial remark. On the other, they scream that their rights are being violated if someone uses a comment made on a social website against them. Just can't have it both ways.:shrug:

I could be wrong, but I think posting in a different font is a violation of the forum rules.

Wow....you really are doing this just to piss people off aren't you?

One set of HTML tags to change the font would suffice....but Nooooo. let's use four to really show them who's boss.

In my opinion, you get money to do a job. Be happy. You're there working, to receive a paycheck. So there's no excuse while at the job to be upset. Now, off stage, I believe they can say whatever they want. No one makes you read their negative posts, just like no one makes them hold the job that they dislike. As far as feeling that you're being judge by employees, of course you are. Who doesn't judge people? Especially, since I assume the average age of the Cast Members are pretty low. Immaturity is easy to find. You think just because they work for Disney they're perfect little angels? No. If you're overweight, they probably think that. If you have a bad hair cut, they probably think that. Apparently that's human nature now-a-days and it's "humorous".
This was just a little rant and not directed at anyone in-particular.

For the record, there are more negative posts on THIS board about WDW than you will find on any networking site...and yet everyone still reads it.

Get over it.

The internet is scary.

But not as scary as Comic Sans.

Are you all for real about the font?? I am truly confused...is it really against forum rules and I am wondering why it is annoying people so much? I am hoping that all you people are not being serious because if you are then I think you should all get over it...I am really baffled...these are the kind of people who love Disney?? I thought Disney fans were "happy" and nice???????

PS Is this font better for all you "offended" ones????

Thank you for being normal and explaining. I didn't mean to offend by my font, How come people are allowed to give there opinions but then go nuts over a font?

The beauty of twitter. If you don't like what someone says, unfollow them.

If you were using that font to make yourself happy, that's fine. If you're trying to communicate with us, it hard to read.

Free speech in a privately owned, but ultimately public forum.

And I'm bored. I'm not people though. Just a man. Who rides a Unicorn into the night.

And here I was thinking it was a Pegasus.....

I'm still waiting for the FAA to approve the Pegasus. It already complies with JAR-25 and AWM-25. I just need FAR-25, and Pegasus is a GO!

It's annoying, since JAR-25 and FAR-25 have been harmonized. What can you expect though, it's a bureaucracy.

Ok, I get you now...no hard feelings..
