Crickets inside
Yeah everyone kind of scared. Never seen my team like this.
I've never seen a group of people outwardly ignore something so hard.
Outsourced to India
It’ll tank if that happens
Normally aren’t layoffs announced a few days before the earnings call and not on the same day of?
That sounds like a reasonable and normal corporate culture. Disney execs are, however, obsessed with opacity and secrecy.
Like staff finds out about things at the same moment as investors, if not after
Your teammates in India will take care of the work.
Mickey’s calendar was booked all night long yesterday. Layoffs are coming!
Not gonna happen
Is today the day? 👀
My VPN still works. No weird meetings or emails. I dunno man. Logic says yes, but... still crickets
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
My entire group was invited to the earnings call today. First time that's happened in 3 yeats
Same here
Invited by whom?
I think this may be one of the only times where Disney’s bloated bureaucracy and centralized leadership might actually benefit us rank and file (all the way up to EVP). Since everything seems to be happening at TWDC, mostly in the C-suite, where leaders of large orgs haven’t even been interviewed or asked to fill out a questionnaire let alone provide information that would inform layoffs, and our annual review process doesn’t have any rankings to use, we might be ok for another month or two…
I rather just know.
We all would, but despite 2 HBR case studies about how great Disney is, this company truly sucks balls. Sure, it produces great content and launches/grew into the largest streaming player in the world, but senior leadership (Burbank) treats even their direct reports (EVP and President level) like shit. It’s no wonder the rest of us are in the complete dark, and I’d imagine, have already started applying elsewhere months ago.
