This was a reply in a recent post below: "I believe what the OP and other responders were speaking of is that the 2020 Disney furloughs and layoffs are deeply entwined with the current political climate, not just the Covid climate. It's a good and... —  read more 

I got called back today!!!! I am so happy and blessed! Good times are just around the corner!

Why is Disney only PC? Will it cause additional issues for cast members? Who will be most impacted and lose they’re jobs in the next round coming soon? Why are most cast members especially in the parks not following four of the five keys?

I’ve been desperately looking for a job since last year’s layoffs. At first I was very hopeful. But then the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months and then I started to panic. I saw a help wanted add in the window of a family owned... —  read more

It is horrific that so many people over the six months have replied with negative comments about cast members who were furloughed or laid-off, including the recent replies under "Blacklisted" below. Not all of the 32,000 laid off, and soon to be... —  read more 

I’m just going to throw this out there. Since the last round of layoffs I’ve been scared for my job and now that WD is shuttering dozens of stores I’m not going to sit around and hope my store isn’t impacted. I am being proactive on preparing for any... —  read more

Still wondering if Disney could have waited a little longer with layoffs right in the midst of a pandemic? Correct me if I am wrong, but I think it could have. Corporate greed did not allow itself to lose a single cent more than it had to, and at the... —  read more

I just read that most people have no plans to visit Disney World before 2022. That means that those of us who were hoping that we might be called back this year are out of luck. This really is not the kind of news I needed right now. Finding a new... —  read more

Anyone know who the Executive Producers at Glendale/Burbank are? Did any of them get laid off?

Great job, Disney, for keeping your pledge to diversity. The layoffs have apparently rarely impacted protected classes.
