Can't agree with this more. People constantly start at Disney, get demoralized, go to Universal and then get rejuvenated.^ Tag team:
The Disney company at its core is another scum big business. But Walt was an SOB too, so what should we expect. Until I moved to Orlando, I would have never had an idea how poorly they treat their employees or how low their wages are. On the other hand, I also would have never known how well Universal treats their employees, and now that has rocketed to the moon under Comcast. There's almost loony good will there today.
I know there are other issues with Comcast, but treatment of employees at NBC Universal and Universal Parks is top notch.
Leave me get this right. So Iger makes $45 million a year plus stock options, and he's asking Disney employees, many who only make a $10 an hour and probably need food stamps to help feed their family, and are now suffering work hour cutbacks due in large part to bad decisions on Iger's part, to contribute some of their meager wages so he can, in the long run bottom line, as the stock price advances with a positive ruling,make more money. The world is surely turning upside down. :ack:
Here's a nice little video that helps explain a little more about what the Mickey Mouse Laws actually do. Notice included in this is scientific papers, meaning that any scientific ideas could actually be detrimental to a company could be purchased by said company and then left to rot for far longer making these advancements amount to nothing. Think stuff that would be possibly harmful to the oil, auto, or medical industries etc.
I like this show quite a bit, and I thought they did a pretty good job of breaking down the nuances of how far it reaches in a pretty entertaining and simplified way. I've been following it for quite awhile, I want to say since the second time Disney got copyright extended.Yes, this show is how I found out about this and also what made me realize how bad this was and really needs to change. Stupid corrupt politicians.
so is something that being forced and the pay automatically docked, or is it voluntary
Voluntary, but of course participating has absolutely no impact on how you are viewed by your superiors or gives you an advantage for a promotion :wink:so is something that being forced and the pay automatically docked, or is it voluntary
so Disney is doing cut backs then asking employees to chip in what money they have left?
