Fuck CEOs and their golden parachutes. There is no way this should be legal or allowed. You do a shitty job, you get fired. Pick yourself up by your bootstraps and go find another job. Use your savings to get by. Fuck these people.

Corporations collude to keep wages depressed for workers ..why don't they work together and stop offering these golden parachutes?

What is wrong with our culture, that we think paying one man all this money for nothing is more important than paying 1000 workers who actually do work?

I just need 24 hours to fire all the janitors and tram operators, turn over all food vending to the folks in charge of the Italy booth at EPCOT festivals, switch out all the ketchup packets, shut down the eggroll cart, release 100 limited edition Starbucks cups, take away free parking from passholders, cancel all ride repairs, and put up even more walls at EPCOT.

How much do I get?

I think what we need is for investors to start lawsuits against the boards of these corporations.

A shareholder should be able to get a lot better return on investment by the company investing in new products, or the company, or acquisitions. Giving gigantic payouts to small groups of individuals cannot be a good return on value no matter what those individuals do.

Don't forget he's the CEO but all the other C-levels and board members are probably getting millions of dollars as well.

That’s what socialism would provide. The US seems to be very slowly learning that is the only logical way forward.

The workers do the work, not the bosses, let the people run the companies and vote on decisions.

The table service isn't always good, either. The better restaurants honestly are either at Disney Springs or the resorts.

But there are a few of the quick service locations that stood out.

The Buffalo chicken grilled cheese sandwich over at ABC Commissary was amazing, but I've learned how to make it at home for much cheaper.

Satu'li Canteen is pretty good, too.

If you want a hot dog, you leave the park and go to Portillo's. Chicago dog with the best damn onion rings and a slice of chocolate cake (or a cake shake)... It's well worth the calories.

What does his job entail really? Seems like it would be a lot of handshakes and the occasional “hard no” on penetration in the cartoon movies. What else am I missing? Disney is a national treasure and doesn’t rely on one guy to run it. These bloated positions need to go when you’re not a start-up.

I've actually calculated it and I need about $2 million to make all my dreams come true. Obviously that goes up quite a bit if I want to take care of my family and start one of my own, but just for the shit I want to do in life to be fulfilled? That's it. I'll never understand all the billionaires who continue the race to the bottom to accumulate more and more fractions of wealth. Literally makes no sense to me, just seems like a sad way to live your life...

I was in management at Intel and was just laid off. This guy makes 200 times what I did to fail at his job.

CEOs are making more money than ever despite bringing little to no value. On top of it they are perpetuating the myth that C level execs are worth that kind of compensation.

I know, some "free market" fan boy will correct me soon and say that's what the market demands for execs but I would counter that C level execs are price fixing and artificially inflating their own salaries.

That’s pretty much where we are. There are 1 or 2 Table Service in each park we like (and not always the popular ones), and we’ll do lunches there, but for dinners, we always go to a restaurant in a resort near the park we’ve been in all day, in the resort we’re staying, or at Disney Springs.

Mine adds up. Well we don’t have anything like sick time. I mean you can sick but there is no limit. We have 25 Vacation days per year and unused days roll over, so like I I don’t use them I can use them the next year. After a certain period of time they get paid out. I didn’t use much vacation time during 2020 and 2021 so I had like 40 vacation days in 2022. Used all but 4 days. It was nice

Mourniho wasn't getting jobs just on the initial praise through. He was successful or better at each stop, winning league titles, UEFA Champions League, Europa league etc.

What you want is Doc Rivers. Luck into one championship when your GM creates one of NBA's earliest superteams for you, then ride the coattails of that one trophy for the next 15 years, blowing one playoff after another (damn near blew a 3-0 lead last year! ), sometimes throw your own players under the bus after those losses, yet never without a job, and somehow makes it onto the NBA's top 15 coaches of all time list, because the American basketball world loves to screw over Rudy T for some reason.

i think it's slowly changing as an older millennial in corporate management

people in 20s - 30s are really bucking the "everything for the company" mentality trend that older generations instilled in themselves. no more bragging about not taking sick time, no more loyalty to companies (aka jumping around for raises)

workers not putting up with things as much, noticing how shitty the system is, almost like people are waking up a little

honestly think the main thing that needs to change is that the 60+ crowd needs to die off and let the next gen move in. values are different and i think will lead to a better workforce

The funny thing is... Those are almost all basically exaggerations of things Chapek did. (He never shut down the eggroll cart.)

The janitorial staff has definitely been cut, and he still hasn't managed to get trams back up and running. Food quality has dropped as prices continue to rise. He actually did switch out the ketchup packets from Heinz. Some merchandising/supply issues ended up with long lines stretching through parks and even a few fights, though this was at least not necessarily his fault. He cut passholder perks while raising prices and referred to them as "undesirable." And construction slowed on EPCOT projects despite having plenty of downtime to have worked on them— resulting in what guests refer to as "Wallcot."

JennJayBee t1_j4vjxqw wrote

Replying to Fishfisherton (#1,395,969)

Yikes. Thankfully, I've never had an issue with bad service. It's just that the food/experience has typically been mediocre for the price, with a few rare exceptions. Cinderella's Royal Table, for example, only just brought back the princesses roaming the room. Previously, folks had been fighting over reservations and paying up to nearly $70/person just to have Cindy come out and occasionally wave. (And the food was Denny's quality.)

And that's been pretty much on brand for in park restaurants as a whole lately— underwhelming overpriced food. Places like Boathouse (Disney Springs) aren't cheap, but at least the food and overall experience is better.

Part of this issue, is laws meant to force CEO pay to be public has only resulted in the CEOs getting more negotiating power with each other. So their pay has skyrocketed.

The public outage and shareholder outrage apparently isn’t big enough for them to care.
