John Reilly resigned at the end of March and approximately 4 weeks later, Mark Pauls quits.

At BGT park services the warehouse supervisor, purchaser, one other office person are gone. PT purchasing position was already posted by Monday.

Sad for all the AAT members that were the face of the park when they went out in public and represented SeaWorld. They were just as important as the Whales and Dolphins.

Nothing at BGW and WCUSA. Efficiency team will be on property the week of 4/15. All Leaders are stressed; don't know how many more cuts parks can handle.

The question that should be asked, Is this the being of the end of the animals at seaworld. Which is make seaworld different from all the others parks because of the animals we have and the conservation, rescue and everything else that Seaworld does for animals.

Awesome. SW Leaks - YOU ROOOOCCCCKKKK!

Thank you so much for putting this together! It’s very helpful to see it all consolidated

So that's about 80 people and then maybe they cut 10 or so open positions?

SWSA was 5 in Zoological: 2 at White Whale and a Dolphin, 3 at Polar/Animal Ambassador Team.

Cafe West is still staffed and open.
