Cool! I agree with this! Thinking Peltz or Rasulo or Perlmutter, men obsessed with ROI and ruthless cost cutting, will do anything other then take the company in the exact opposite direction, is utterly nuts. Every single piece of evidence indicates they'll do the opposite of what you say you want.
Oh I more than have
False assumptions is how we roll
Are Lagomasino and Froman going to stand up to Iger and say 'enough nickel and diming' if they're reelected? Hell, they've overseen the company during the worst nickel and diming in the company's history. At least when Rasulo was in the C Suite it was more subtle.
It's at least based on things Peltz and the people he is bringing along with him have said and done.
Rasulo maybe
No one who follows Iger will lower prices and stop the "nickel and diming" because the cause isn't Iger, it's deeply engrained currents in America's post-80s business culture.
Indeed. It's part of the reason the obsession so many supposed Disney fans have developed in recent times with the stock price is completely counter to the things on which they say they want the company to concentrate.
It didn’t exist in Disney until 2005…so they took awhile to do what “all the cool kids do”
Do we have documented proof that Peltz and/or Rasulo are liars? Because they specifically mentioned several legitimate issues in their townhall video.
"Perlmutter has told people he wants to break up Disney as much as he can and gain control of some of the IP, and "people underestimate Ike at their peril," said a source familiar with Perlmutter's conversations."
Perlmutter is an old man. Old men think they’ll live forever…but they rarely do.
They claimed to support Iger. That was shown to be a lie by their past vote. They made PR claims about how the parks need investment but their actual business proposals question large investments, institute a number of mechanisms to slow or stop them, and particularly take aim at the recent $60 billion dollar investment Iger announced. I am sure that you could find many, many more examples - Peltz is not revered for his honesty.
Peltz is also motivated by vengeance.
He's the same age as Peltz. Well, slightly younger.
That they’re doing this is kind of evidence that they shouldn’t be trusted. Peltz already started a fight and then stopped because he said he was happy with the changes that were made.
Eisner was formed by a different, pre-80s business culture, one that was much more comfortable with spending, even to the point of wasteful flamboyance. Iger developed in a different environment, one is which money saved via cuts was much more valued then that earned via investment.
