Wow, how you got to this point of thinking is mind blowing? I wonder whether Disney is going to let all their unopened hotels just rot and demolish and rebuild them in a few years using that theory? Maybe never reopen the Epcot monorail or Fantasmic either, could always demolish and rebuild them I suppose?
Me? All this horror posting is all you. I did not say any of the stuff you said. It's all yours pal.

I would think with a business the size of TWDC, you’d have a business continuity dept. They should know what the critical business functions are, what the dependencies on them are(facilities needed, workforce needed, suppliers, technology, etc.), and then plan recovery strategies for them. One of the main loss scenarios of dependencies you plan for is “loss of workforce” there are a variety of strategies that can be in activated in this scenario, (hiring, outsourcing, limited service, or discontinued service) but usually there is data on the minimum level of acceptable service and the workforce needed for minimum operations.

that is an ideal scenario where your company is effected in isolation and all other services are available around you. Since this is a completely new scenario, many companies knew what they needed and it was sometimes cheaper and quicker for the recovery aspect to keep trained people around and happy. When everyone was in the same boat, that’s fine, but when the speeds of recovery are now going at different paces, the traditional loss of workforce scenarios are playing out and companies are looking to recover from it.

You said

Sadly the question now rising is will TL be allowed to deteriorate to the point where complete demolition and a building of a new version or something else new will be the only economically reasonable solution?

That's a direct quote pal. You've asked the question based on what exactly? You've said "the question now rising", where is it rising as you're seemingly the only one introducing it to this forum? So you've either thought it yourself or you've read or heard somebody else saying it and have consciously decided to put it on here. Doing so the way you have is seemingly giving it validity, you're saying there's only one option available?

yet Disney paid their workers for 4 months while their parks were not open. Such a horrible company for paying their people when the parks were closed.

It still is a business. At some point they had to stop paying them otherwise the company would go out of business.

What you’re not acknowledging is that I was talking pre pandemic and how poorly CM’s were treated and paid. I wasn’t referring to the four month severance with pay that you mentioned, but since you are, Disney didn’t do it out of kindness, they did it so they had a way for them to reopen back in July. As the article above mentions, hospitality workers are moving on and changes need to be made. The old business model of paying them nothing and ignoring their plight , isn’t working anymore.

Every spring out pool is green and disgusting. A week or two of treatments and crystal clear.
Yup! Ours is surrounded by pine and oak trees...two years closed and the water is almost black...always bounces right back though. (After a couple of days of vacuuming heavy leaves and needles...I'd love to know how they get under the cover!)

Actually they did do it out of kindness. Disney could have furloughed without pay easily. The problem you mentioned is an industry issue not a Disney issue. Hospitality has always treated workers poorly. Lastly, the govt is still making unemployment benefits available for most blue collar workers. That was outlined in the last trillion dollar package for infrastructure that The Harris/Polisi administration just pushed through the 2021 Covid relief bill. That pays people 300 weekly through Labor Day on top of regular unemployment. Why would you want to go back to work?

Negative - the extra $300 benefit ended in Florida on 6/25.

They did NOT pay their workers for 4 months.

They paid them, for I think, a few weeks and then they got FURLOUGHED. Trust me, I have many CMs friends that were on unemployment for months until they were either called back from furlough, transferred to another position, or got deployed to another park/line of business. I also have a few friends that were let go from back office type jobs because their positions were eliminated.
