Great Perks, Diminishing Benefits
Great Perks, Diminishing Benefits
The perks of theme park entry, company-paid parties, and lunches are wonderful. A person can take pride in the company's name recognition and the quality of the overall entertainment that the company produces. You feel the satisfaction of contributing to something good and memorable. Pay and benefits were comparable to the tech industry elsewhere.
Medical benefits steadily and substantially reduced during my years at WDW. Early on, I was very aware of a class difference between hourly and salaried. Later, the difference seemed even more acute between salaried and executive. Executives would be promoted in "critical positions", while all other pay was frozen. Layoffs were once unthinkable, then rare, then more common. Gossip and favoritism were a lot easier to see after several years.
The company should return to its core values: fairness and honesty. The dollar is not the bottom line.
