This entire thing...in an attempt at fairness, does Iger talk to his predecessor?

 

Does anyone talk to Eisner?

Iger has openly stated that he would speak with Eisner throughout his tenure. More at the beginning than the end, but yes they spoke often. Iger was basically Eisner's last defender at the company and his closeness with Eisner was 100% held against Iger during his CEO interview process.

The best thing that happened to the company, sure. But he was no patron Saint.

lol, who at that level IS a mistake-free saint?

 

And the press surrounding todays walk-out probably does ensure Chapek is done. Oh well. Time for Josh D'Amaro.

Only question is if Chapek can avoid any more major PR blunders until February 2023.

 There’s no way someone as green as Josh is getting the job this quickly. He needs to stay at the parks while someone who has deep connections with Hollywood takes over. They need to go with Peter Rice

I think they might go outside the company if they need a replacment in a hurry.

[Morieris]

I know people who work at the company who are walking out - and they're in Europe (Not sure which country).

 

I wonder ow many others are walking out who aren't in the US?

(Yes, this was on video. No, I don't have it yet. Yes, when I do, trust and believe it will be going on the internet. No, I don't know when that will be.)

Quote

As Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill into law on Monday, The Walt Disney Company issued a statement vowing to help repeal the controversial legislation.

“Florida’s HB 1557, also known as the ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill, should never have passed and should never have been signed into law,” the statement reads. “Our goal as a company is for this law to be repealed by the legislature or struck down in the courts, and we remain committed to supporting the national and state organizations working to achieve that. We are dedicated to standing up for the rights and safety of LGBTQ+ members of the Disney family, as well as the LGBTQ+ community in Florida and across the country.”

 

Disney’s public opposition to the law follows an employee walkout in protest of CEO Bob Chapek’s mishandling of the “Don’t Say Gay” bill.

Let's see what happens if Georgia passes  a similiar law.

Disney can realistically pull it's film production from Georgia and move it...wihich they can't really do with Disneyworld.

Of course that Moron COngress creature Marjorie Taylor Green from Gerogia has said she wants Disney and Hollywood out of Georgia since they are corrupting it.

Worst thing about Chapek's meeting with DeSantis, is it actully raised De Santis state in the GOP since he could brag about how he stood up to "Liberal Hollywood".

DeSantis is a total ass hat, and IMHO if Trump does not run or is indicted, he is a heavy favorite to get the GOP nod, God help us.
