I'm wondering, did any of the store employees receive any kind of severance? I'm going to go out on a limb and say that any part-time employees didn't receive anything, but what about the full-timers? Were they also screwed over like so many of the... —  read more

It's a weird but not unwelcome feeling having job security once again. I nearly forgot how this feels.

Kelly Tyko USA TODAY Sept. 15 was the last day for many Disney Store locations. The Walt Disney Co. previously announced plans to close nearly 60 of its full-size retail locations across the country "on or before" Sept. 15. As of Sept. 14, the... —  read more 

I have no issues with vaccines. I've been twice-jabbed for months now. I do have an issue with too much work and I'm worried that the vaccine mandate might cause enough people to walk away to make my life even harder. With few people applying for... —  read more

How promising are the recent quarterly results?

Suggestion: If you want to re-hire you best cast members that you laid-off last year, I would recommend you encouraging your supervisors/managers to call each individual to make them feel "welcomed." Such rumors about Disney not hiring back (even... —  read more 

I found myself landing a job that involved relocating. It’s in a different industry and I just couldn’t pass it up considering a family member helped me get in. I don’t think of Disney often anymore, not like I did when I was furloughed last year. I... —  read more 

I'm an employee at DPEP and I have a very bad feeling I'm going to be given the choice between keeping my job and moving across the company, or staying here but saying goodbye to TWDC. I've never had a reason to leave until now. I have nothing in... —  read more 

What could Disney offer to make you reconsider and take your job back?

Who'd have thought that if you treat your employees like cr-p and kick them to the curb at the worst possible moment they won't rush back when you reopen and are desperate for more workers. Shocking, right? I love seeing that Disney is now offering a... —  read more 

And it felt so damn good! For months I waited for a callback while others were returning to work and nothing. Now they finally decided to call me when they can't find enough people who want to work at all. Well, sc--w them! I've found a better... —  read more

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
