That seems unlikely considering what I saw and experienced when working at other parks, including at WDW. In every case I saw, working at the new ride- especially something the size of SWGE- was in high demand and considered a prestigious, and coveted, spot to get. Those employees who got the spots to open a new ride or experience (and especially the big ticket ones) were considered among the best employees because of some of the demands of opening a new ride, and who doesn't want to be considered among the best?
When I was at BGT, SDC and several times at WDW I saw employees/ CM's disappointed and upset they didn't get selected to open a new ride/ area. And with something with the "coolness" factor of Star Wars, I can't imagine that it is an area they're trying to avoid.
I have heard some secondhand information about what CMs in SW:GE are facing. We are all familiar with how CMs at various attractions use themed language and act "in character" to various degrees. And we have many favorites at different attractions (I still miss the Pirate with the real pegleg--THAT'S theming!).
Someone who knew CMs in SW:GE told me that the expectation of themed behavior is more intense than anything we have ever seen. They are training CMs not just to say "Bright Suns" or direct people to the "refresher", but to deny the existence of Disneyland and remove upset guests out of earshot of other guests to avoid "breaking the fourth wall" as they say in theater. The rumor is that the pressure on CMs is to carry this to an unprecedented degree.
Remember, while many aspects of the land are comparable to Avatar/Pandora, what is not comparable is the broad control/influence of Lucasfilm and Marvel on the use of their properties in Disney Parks. Pandora is constrained by a contract with specific terms. But Marvel and Star Wars are controlled by the two studios "ownership" of their brand, which is supported by Disney corporate the same as Disney and Pixar Studios.
I have had CMs tell me directly that it is a challenge to transfer to SW:GE--they lose seniority, status, and stability they have gained over time. This can include working lead and trainer status, choice of days off, preferred shifts, and favorite locations. They have to start from scratch learning new locations and give up everything familiar, including the logistics of operating in a large resort--from parking to costuming to calculating transit times and even where to eat or go to the "refresher". Opening a new land and two E-ticket attractions is prestigious and exciting. But there is also a lot of unpredictability and uncertainty. It can mean giving up some familiar advantages.
In short, there are many trade-offs. I have a friend who opened some big stuff in the theme park and tourism industry when they were much younger and had some fantastic experiences. I also know someone who had a horrible experience opening one of Disneyland's recent summer promotions under an incompetent manager that was poorly planned and painful for the opening crew. It resulted in several CMs transferring or leaving the company, including some working leads.
From what I can see, Disney is moving into some uncharted territory. They are attempting a level of theming that is at least as immersive as Harry Potter with two of the most complex attractions every built. I have heard some great things about some of the people involved. But I also hear that there are significant challenges.
