When do you think Disney will announce more layoffs? There was some blowback after the last round, so I'm hoping they might actually wait for a bit before they decide to pull the trigger one more time. Although, considering that the almighty dollar... — read more

Are you planning on staying long-term? I envisioned myself as a lifer, but as an employee in the Parks & Resorts segment it's hard to envision a successful path the next couple of years. Especially in Orlando, where so much of the economy is... — read more 

Will anything positive happen this year???? I could have guessed that there would be some reorganisation of Disney's media and entertainment businesses because people no longer go to theme parks or theatres. Unfortunately, reorganising is just a... — read more 

I thought at least some of the more popular acts were safe in the long run, I guess I was wrong. The Disneyland resort plans to lay off more than 200 actors as the “Frozen” and “Mickey and the Magical Map” live shows lower their curtains for good... — read more 

I was one of the cast members laid off in Orlando. No jobs here. Manyvfriebds like me. Help.

I can't find the number anywhere, but I think it's one of the largest layoffs so far during the pandemic.

There seems to be no rhyme or reason, and the parameters are different all over the place. My wife's team let go the four newest hired managers to the team and the two newest coordinators (she had more company seniority than half the team and would... — read more 

There's a lot I could say against Disney and how the company treats its employees, but it's really not fair to put these layoffs on the company. There is a pandemic going on. So many places are closed and those that are not anymore have seen their... — read more 

Has anyone from interactive experiences been laid off? Are they keeping the managers and executive directors?

Where any directors or executives laid off at WDI?

There have been lots of murmurs this week regarding potential layoffs of those already furloughed on the studio operations side. Has anyone heard anything concrete? The waiting and lack of info from management is so stressing.

Is it true that the DVC sales operation is gone and they are going to online sales only?. No sales staff and no more tours etc. I understand this elimination is underway. Can anyone confirm this?

Any news on how many union members will be laid off in Disney World? I saw someone say 1.800 but I can't find the source.

Does anyone know how they determined who gets layoff? It definitely wasn’t by seniority. I got axed yesterday.

There you go - this is impacting everyone and the society. This is a massive job cut.

When they want stuff from us, we are all one big Disney family and we are supposed to do it - even if we are not paid extra for extra work because, you know, family... But when we want something, when we need something, well, then it's "just business... — read more

Two alternate realities which ultimately could not be sustained. Americans will now experience what much of the rest of the world does on a daily basis....reality.

I wish, but I doubt it. This company has been treating us like c-ap for decades and it doesn't seem to matter. The "family-friendly" favorite is one of the worst employers in the country and nobody seems to care. People working here are treated... — read more 

Looks like the media has a copy of the Warn notice with Florida. Can someone post a copy?

Layoffs have been announced at Walt Disney World for park and resort entertainment Cast Members. The entire orchestra at the Grand Floridian and the entire cast of the Luau at the Polynesian are being terminated. Ugh! Everything is falling apart!

WDI has started with layoffs today too. They are using rankings to determine who goes, we are still not 100% clear on how they are selecting people. Things are not transparent - we always had issues with transparency but this time is especially bad... — read more

We know it's coming and furloughed folks they know they are on the chopping block. Yet, they are keeping armies of managers and VPs with nobody to manage - just collecting paychecks and doing nothing.

From the company email today... we know the next few days are going to be rough. According to NBC news D'Amaro said “Around 67% of the 28,000 laid off workers were part-time employees” = each studio gets a 33% reduction of full timers.

Disney was fun, and very much an experience that was undeniably special. It was a job though. I know so many college graduates including some from Harvard who have fought to keep that $13-$14 an hour job. Begging to return. Lost and... — read more

Hopefully Disney's high-paid lobbyists, both state and federal, are pushing for more "emergency" civid-related unemployment. Cast members need it desperately. For example, I will not have rent money this month.
