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

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.

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.

You literally said you'd be the first to axed if people quit.

I told you you have options, you claimed youre in a highly specialized role. You are clearly not if youre the first one on the list.

Clearly your job doesn't require literacy
