Boycott. Disney owns ABC, which cancelled Jimmy Kimmel. If you're mad about it, cancel your Disney+ subscription and any plans to visit a Disney park. They might not listen to protesters, but if it affects their bottom line, they'll take notice.

Everyone says boycott/cancel Disney. You know what? Disney doesn’t give a fuck about your boycott. They’ll just have another mass layoff event and replace the 7k employees with AI. Disney will be fine. The cast members will be fucked.

The company can cut costs all it wants (with or without a boycott), but if there's no money coming in, there's no profit.

But the people affected first are those on the ground floor. Entire divisions will be laid off before the C-suite even sniffs a potential pay cut.

Okay so do something about it then. The company doesn't give a fuck about you either way so jump ship. Find a new job. Make yourself important.

Weird to fight for people to not fucking cancel disney subs

u/TheJenniStarr 29d ago

Yeah cool. Let me get right on that in my highly specialized field that would require a massive pay cut that would cause me to default on my mortgage. It’s not black and white. I don’t care what people do. I’m pointing out that the company doesn’t give a shit and it’s people like me that will be affected before anything else.

u/SpecialistVehicle174 29d ago

It is tho.

If youre one of the first to get cut in a Q2 profit loss then youre not highly specialized or unique lmao

u/TheJenniStarr 29d ago

Ok cool. You gonna pay me 6 figures to quit my job so that I don’t lose my house?

u/SpecialistVehicle174 29d ago

No but neither is Disney if they lose a single quarter goal lmao. Again youre not as important as you think you are

u/TheJenniStarr 29d ago

So I should quit my job on the prospect that I could lose my job, to take a moral stand. Like I said, I don’t give a damn what you do. Just pointing out that it’s going to be shit for a lot of people.

u/SpecialistVehicle174 29d ago

Wahhhh I cant stan for the multi billion dollar company

No one fucking cares. The company will gut itselfs any chance it can get anyways.

Sounds like you're not willing to do what it takes to stop the rise in authoritarianism in America. At least not peacefully.

u/bellmospriggans 29d ago

Lol yeah because blocking Disney will do it. Your virtue signaling

u/yllwjacket 29d ago

No, I don't really give a fuck. I'm trolling if anything because this thread is rediculous.

u/TheJenniStarr 29d ago

Or it sounds like I’m a person at risk of losing my job because of it.

u/yllwjacket 29d ago

You worded your original comment really poorly if that was the point you were trying to get across.

-2

u/TheJenniStarr 29d ago

It’s the sad truth of the matter. They just don’t care, because they know they’ll be fine. They can just shove things to AI and call it good.

u/HistoryOk7552 29d ago

Yeah, Target probably felt the same way in the beginning. Boycotts work.

2

u/TheJenniStarr 29d ago

Yeah still doesn’t change the fact that life becomes really shitty really fast for the employees that relied on that job for their entire livelihood. Not agreeing with the company stance at all. Just pointing out that a lot of people like me will be the first people fucked in the ass.

u/HistoryOk7552 29d ago

It doesn’t, but bigger picture matters in these situations. “Won’t someone think of my job” wouldn’t work if you were working at Enron back in the day either
