How about a new tracking thread of initiatives of Bob Jr that are still around ?

Only thing of Bobby Jr's left is about 600 cases of Bee Bald Daily Moisturizer that were found in an executive storage closet...

Just some bones, bleaching in the sun. Not even a carcass is left.

 

[Fido Chuckwagon]

Every project that he gutted and cancelled, really. He didn’t really create much in his short time.

 

[IanDLBZF]

And I suppose nothing is left of him.

Except for the 20 million Disney Dollars he has to spend.......

ILL$ & Genie+ were Bob Iger era inventions, they were just implemented during Chapek.

…he never actually did anything…if you look at the timeline.

He made some dumb park op moves…but the pushback is required to fix those.

Everything not being done now is on Iger…or at least the majority share.

He sold his $5M home then bought a $12.5M home then got fired a year later. That $20M severance package can come in handy.

 

[Smiley/OCD]

I heard he’s going to be the new spokesman for Harry’s razors…that’s why he grew that fine beard…

…nobody is ever gonna buy that house again…ain’t no way to get that “stank” outta there

He was admittedly a terrible CEO, but that doesn’t mean he’s a terrible person. Can we please try to remember he’s a husband, father, grandfather? We may not love the guy, but many people in his real life do.

His performance in his job does not affect the saleability of his house … assuming he even wants to sell it. That’s not how things work.

 

[Sir_Cliff]

One thing that I am curious about is that there was talk that Chapek was about to make some move that spooked the board and ultimately prompted them to hurriedly reach out to Iger in order to head him off. Did we ever find out what that was or if that was actually the case?

…sarcasm..

But on chapek…actually if you look at the downward trajectory of the departments he worked in at TWDC…the case can be made he was awful his entire tenure

 

[FerretAfros]

There was relatively little time between when Bob Sr. finally removed the training wheels, and when he came valiantly riding back in on his noble steed to save the day. In reality, Chapek was only in control of the company for about a year.

And that was as during a period of the pandemic that nearly all industries were understandably gun-shy about making major investments or dramatically changing their business models. Everybody was focused on just keeping their head above water, not making dramatic moves.

Combine that with Disney’s notoriously long development timelines, and it’s no surprise that very little of Chapek’s decision making has made it to fruition; he barely had time to make any decisions in the first place. Nearly everything that has been blamed on him was either approved by or under Iger, or at the very least in development during that period.

Nearly all of Chapek’s failures are actually Iger’s failures.

I must admit that on a human level, I do kind of feel for the guy.

I can't imagine rising to such heights, failing so publicly, and having that failure brought up so often in the media. I mean, it's now even part of the reporting on a presidential campaign!

I know it was sarcasm. It’s just that everyone is always dumping on the guy on a personal level.

A lot of the cuts and value engineering started under Iger … but he reverses the resort parking fees and now he’s everyone’s hero?

That outside exec talent pool to be the next CEO must have been small or non existent for the Board to bring back Iger.
