That article is incorrect - Bob Iger does not have 44 years with Disney.

He started at ABC in 1974. What the writer misses is that ABC wasn't bought by Disney until 1996. So 22.

Exactly. Journalists these days...

I'm still wondering what's taking so long for his "book" to come out. Did he expand it to two index cards?

i actually like Bob Iger he's been a good CEO because of SDL. It's turning a big profit and might reverse the DLRP effect.

It is? Because you'd think if it was, it would have been mentioned in the Q1 2018 financial results. Instead, "domestic parks and Disneyland Paris Resort" are the only ones mentioned.

It doesn't help that the stock price is down 5% from last year.

It'll be ramen and a/c turned up to 72 for him.

He has a 40 year pin - wears it at the service awards.

For what it’s worth TWDC connects years of service together for employees that worked at companies absorbed/bought by Disney. Another example is Stan Lee getting a 75 years of service statue even though only being part of Disney for about 7.

Yeah, pretty sure most companies do this. I know mine does. It's a Fortune 100 company.

That's unfortunate.

Glad to see some common sense at the shareholder level again.

On previous quarterly reports they explicitly said SDL

Capitol Cities became a wholly owned/absorbed subsidiary of the walt Disney company...so technically speaking...he would have "44 years" in corporate speak.

Another guy that started around that time at abc was the guy who bought iger and then "tolerated" him as kinda a cheap tv suit in 1996...any guesses who?

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

On previous quarterly reports they explicitly said SDL

Shanghai Is not majority controlled by disney...Orlando, Anaheim and as of 2016, Paris are...

So "disney parks" only includes those 3, cruiseline, vacation club, etc. etc.

No more Roy disney to rally the troops...we can use a good ouster before chef mickeys hits $100 for kids breakfast

It's still overvalued...they have been leaking profits like a sieve from tv - cause espn and Comcast suck - for 7 years now and don't have a viable strategy to compensate in place...

Their second biggest profit generator - parks - Is 100% susceptible to crash in a recession...moreso now than ever.

Iger is robbing peter to pay paul and Mary.

Wall Street is greedy, but not stupid...they all know the spot disney is in.

Not to mention, Bobby is a cold robot when he deals with front-line cast. You can tell he has no respect by the way he treats them while he's in the parks and by the way he keeps them poorer than poor. Again: Chuff off and ROT, Bobby Boy.

I hate the way he holds them at gunpoint forbidding them from becoming employed elsewhere. He is a tyrant.
