Those aren’t really convincing arguments. Iger doesn’t have any more fondness for the parks than the alternatives.
We may disagree on WHAT he spends on, but Iger has dumped a fortune into the parks. I think some of us forget what parks investment looked like under Rasulo.
Finally, a long-form narrative is taking shape worthy of an Avengers movie.
Staggs a health and fitness freak looks a lot younger than his age. In regards to 72 year old Iger, he works out daily in his home gym on his Versa climber for 45 min at 430am. Many I know can't even last 5 min on the Versa.
And yet, at some point, one retires. If you have enough money, you are blessed to retire while still healthy enough to do the things you want.
Some like my CEO are driven to work and produce results regardless on their net worth. Some thrive on having power and influence. It is not for everyone.
I think Iger looks awful when I’ve seen him recently. His unshaved haggered look and dress sense don’t suit him at all IMO. He has aged about 20 years since he retired
If you have ever had a face to face interaction with the Head of DEI of a fortune 500 company in discussions of hiring/recruiting practices, they plainly state that a POC of inferior credentials is the preferred hire.
Could you please explain what is SO bad about Rasulo? I'm sincerely asking. I don't necessarily see him as worse than Iger, but I wasn't really plugged into his tenure in parks, which ended when I was 12. So please explain.
Do you think a giant, low capacity meet and greet complex would have been a better use of space and money than even the much smaller versions of Seven Dwarfs Mine Train that was actually built?
Go to France for a week and a half and it’s amazing what you come back to! I have whiplash.
You misunderstand. They do not state "a person of color of inferior credentials is the preferred hire." They say we should consider that maybe the credentials attached to a job might perpetuate inequality and may not actually be requirements for quality output from a staff member, so let's look beyond those who organically respond to a job posting written without consideration for deeper implications or effects.
Under Iger, the game plan is consistent price increases, shorter hours, double-selling admission to the parks AM/PM, selling line cutting privileges. Disney fans are kinda funny thinking a replacement is going to be any worse.
How about we keep all those things but cut maintenance even further, don’t build anything new, and close resorts to raise occupancy elsewhere?
