Moving back from Florida to California.🏄‍♂️ Hope to see my fellow cast members back soon. This is the WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Headlines should read "irreplaceable talent laid off for no reason." So much company loyalty tarnished from people like myself who moved for no reason. Others declined the move and were laid off. Some VERY talented and marquee-caliber artists. Disney... —  read more

I'm very sorry for everyone who is affected, but maybe for some it will really be a blessing in disguise... Given the direction this company is going in, it's only possible to expect things to get worse here, right?

I said this before and I'll say it again, I'm not sure why we need layoffs when we're understaffed as it is. This will not help, this can only make the customer experience worse. Whoever is making these decisions should trade jobs with me just for... —  read more

I am still safe but the anxiety is huge. It's terrible what good people are going through because of bad leadership moves. Did these layoffs really have to happen?

May the odds be ever in your favor this week….it’s gonna be a rough one 😞
