Chapek was fired because the company reported a terrible quarter and he was talking to investors like everything was sunshine and rainbows. He even highlighted Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party on the conference call, which investors could not care less about. It was brutally embarrassing for the company to have a CEO so utterly oblivious to the company’s struggles let alone any plan to address them. And yes, Chapek navigated the Covid period which saw the company take on a lot of debt, but there were plenty of non-COVID related business decisions that Chapek made that were damaging the company.Seriously? What is nonsense? Don’t you remember Covid? I think you’re giving Iger way too much credit…
Iger, from the moment he got back, was clear-eyed about the company’s challenges. And the financial results have drastically improved since his return.
Now, people say they want Eisner back but they forget that Eisner was giving us this crap before he left.
