Again, I have NOTHING, NO ILL FEELINGS, towards the Disney company or their operations. I am blessed to have been apart of this company and going through Traditions and meeting all the secrets and such. But, I am not going to lie, I am a little upset and depressed right now. Again also for safety and consideration, I'm not revealing names, or work locations or what resort this was.
I wasn't going to post this until I got an official resolution from this to which I would meet face to face and they would tell me what the decision was, but I feel like I'm already terminated, so since I assume I am no longer an employee, there is no need for me to be professional about this issue and keep quiet, rather than help out future employees not mess up like I did.
I was asked to come in again not this past Tuesday, but Tuesday last week to sort of clarify what I wrote in my statement the night the incident happened by some of the employee relations people. I thought this was going to be a meeting to announce their decision but it wasn't.
Because I was on suspension and didn't have my ID, I had to wait a Harbor Point, because I was on suspension and didn't have my ID. This was very nerve racking as here I am standing at a security checkpoint looking at the other employees check in, for thirty minutes in the hot sun waiting for the managers to come. So that was kinda unprofessional.
They basically kept contradicting themselves as to what the purpose of the meeting was and supposedly what the other cast members claimed I did wrong. I assumed it was to go over my statement and make sure I didn't write anything wrong or clear up anything I didn't mean to write or whatever, then I was told it was to make sure I didn't know any of the parties involved which I didn't.
Then the whole situation was flipped when they said was I sexually harassing a female coworker when that isn't true. So then it turned into a sexual harassment case. Smh.
REMARKABLY, not really changing the theme of the situation, I purposefully retracted the situation on this thread having a feeling that they would do this, and I changed words i said. For example, I never said "I'm looking for Mickey Mouse" in reality, however they mentioned that in the meeting. So that means they read this forum and said that in the meeting. I am not saying that its a bad thing, but it's not good to assume and that has no merit on my situation.
SO DISNEY DOES IN FACT READ THESE FORUMS. Be careful what you type if you aren't prepared to defend it.
So they asked to me write another statement in written form as to what was said at this meeting and to clear up any misconceptions which I did.
I was then asked by them why I chose to work for Disney, which I told them I want to get into the Entertainment and Animation field as a voice actor or an actor in general and my major is Sociology and Theater arts. They then asked if I didn't want to be in QSFB what position would I Like to be in, and I told them I would prefer to be in Attractions or Hotel Operations. So I kinda felt happy if they were terminating me, they wouldn't be asking what my future endeavors with the company are.
I was then told I would get an answer by Friday which I never did. I just assumed no news was good news.
I also checked my Hub and I was scheduled for this upcoming weekend so that was kinda uplifting.
I don't know how I missed the call, but Monday, I got a voice mail on my phone from Disney asking for me to call them to come in for a meeting.
I called them this past Tuesday morning as it was night time when I got the message. So I called asking to speak to the person who left the message, and I got someone else. It was actually one of my managers and she told me if I could come in Wednesday afternoon (Today) for a meeting. I said that it would be fine. She also explained that I needed to turn in any costumes or company property that I have which I do have. So to me this sounds like I'm being terminated so I asked "Am I being fired". She just responded that it is just company policy so it wasn't a yes or no. So I then hung up.
I was a little anxious after this conversation. I also had a nervous breakdown as I didn't want to accept the fact that I am no longer a cast member.
So today this morning I woke up feeling very depressed and not well. Due to the fact my phone is not working of all times, and the thought running in my head that today was the day I was being fired. I was going to call to reschedule this meeting to another day, as I was not mentally in the mood to go to the park and I could not get into contact with them. I was transferred to all the managers and the operator said all said if they aren't answering their phones, they might not be on duty for that day. I left a voice mail and still have not heard anything.
I also noticed a couple hours ago, my hub login shows a "this account is not active at this time page." So that can't be good.
I explained on both of my statements that I suffer from Autism, so I do have mental issues, but I don't let it affect my work.
I am thinking about offering up any severance pay, if I had any, and also my last three checks which I have notcashed yet in order to get a rehire status as I know I'm probably going to be a restricted rehire.
I will keep everyone updated I just want my situation heard and to see what I could have done in the future to prevent this as I feel this was a honest mistake.
