It all started back in March when the Disney CEO sent a memo to all employees pre-announcing layoffs. https://www.cnn.com/2023/03/27/media/disney-layoffs/index.html
What made it unusual was that Disney wanted to take 3 months before the entire list of laid-off Disney employees would be known. As a tech manager, I can tell you that pre-announcing layoffs is a terrible idea. You don't want your employees stabbing each other in the back in an attempt to stay employed and off the list. Pre-announcing layoffs with a list of known cuts can be OK because then the laid-off employees would have time to find work. But that's not what Disney did.
Did Disney management think their employees would be incredibly productive in order to prove they should stay employed? Did Disney intend to create an employee Fight Club with employment as the golden ticket?
So far, Disney Fight Club has been strangely entertaining:
Due to a computer problem, Disneyland tourists could not enter the park, nor use their MagicBands:

Disneyland evacuated after dragon catches on fire:

Maybe Disney management should try watching “Aladdin”. In the end, Jafar defeated himself by being too greedy. Aladdin merely sped things up.
