Anyone surprised with Sergio's departure?
What's your honest opinion?
SeaWorld Entertainment Inc. said Chief Executive Sergio Rivera has resigned after 5 months
Another one bites the dust. So embarrassing what a dumpster fire this company has become. Thanks Scotty!!!! Great job.
Not the best of news for employees
Unfortunately when the parks reopen, not everyone will be asked to come back. Less salaried positions will be available.
Best to come
Wait til not everyone is brought back at the same level as when you were let go.......it’s an easy out for a business that wants to get rid of folks. FY will be PT and everyone will lose benefits. The bandaid had been ripped off.....the hard part... — read more
All Leadership should all be laid off!
I was told by my Supervisor In Manta I can’t wear a mask at work and if I had too, I had to go to HR and prove why I had to from a doctor. I went to my area manager and he told me the same thing. Doctors are now telling people masks or any piece of... — read more

401k loan
Has anyone tried reaching out to prudential regarding their 401k loan ? I’ve called serval times and keep getting different answers that don’t seem correct. I don’t want the loan to go in default and ruin my credit.
Florida unemployment
Has anyone applied yet? It kicked me out because we got paid for last week. Do we have to wait until next Monday? $275 + $600 (trump bill) I will make more money than when I worked?? Is that right?
Ambassador FAQs
Did you receive ambassador FAQs today? My contact information is UTD in SeaPort and it wasn't sent to me. And they didn't bother to post to SEA Port - I guess none of us need actually to know the cost of COBRA insurance since we can't afford it... — read more
Not just SeaWorld
Appears SeaWorld isn't the only theme park with furloughs.Seems they are the only ones that made the news for it though.Layoffs at Disney. just not publicized. https://www.thelayoff.com/t/14aQFa11#replies
Our CEO and his Executive Team
Is he and his team going to abstain from taking their salaries and bonuses?
Don’t wait around
The writings on the wall. The recent 10-K, press releases and furloughs. This company is going to put on a ton of debt to stay afloat, declare bankruptcy to restructure their debt amidst massive layoffs, and blame it on the virus rather than their... — read more
Thanks a lot SeaWorld!!
This furlough that I have been given is BS. How is it that making loads of money from Seven seas and building all these new rides and a whole building for the corporate people, but when a crisis like this comes, you can't pay your employees or have... — read more

Corporate furloughs???? Is there any ???
Just curious if this involves corporate as well as all the parks? Haven’t heard of any ?
Furlough time
Phone calls have already started…… People being let go indefinitely. Outstanding morale booster. Why is anybody still with this friggin company?
Health Insurance
Are we going to be able to keep our insurance? If laid off, can we do COBRA?
Tomorrow...
Per Scott Ross request, 90%+ will be furloughed without insurance. Good luck to all of us!
Scott Ross will be the end of SEA
Scott Ross will d–k us over. He haz no care or compassion to any of us other than hiz money compared to what the other theme park operators are doing for there employees.
Stay at Home order issued
Mayor has said stay at home until april 9th. There is no way we re-open before that. Time to see if SeaWorld decides to pay any of us full timers going forward. (And yes I know part timers were not getting paid... — read more
SEAWORLD HELPS NAVY TRAINEES STOCK UP ON SUPPLIES AMID SHORTAGE

Disney will be fine. So they lose money on non operating theme parks. With marvel, star wars, and every other IP they own pumping money... they can afford to pay their employees for no work and still be well off once they reopen. Universal... — read more

Coronavirus: Disney & other theme park closures may be extended 'exponentially'

Hard to find
Start taking note of how much leadership and corporate you see in the park and in the lounges. It’s okay for them to put us at risk for a buck but I bet you they will be hard to find.
We work for losers
SeaWorld IS NOT closing. These greedy a$$ h@les don’t care about us or our guest.
If Disney closes, we’ll follow suit.
Disney has guaranteed payment for all of their cast members affected by the California closure. Our company has already told parents that they are screwed if their children’s schools are closed for weeks at a time. Pick up shifts they say. Should... — read more

Book titles?
