Disney

I've been lucky and rising up the ranks with promotions about once a year. Two of those promotions were because people left. The other was because I fought for an open headcount they were currently hiring for on my team.

The current releveling increased my bonus pools at my level (P4) and put my total comp in a competitive place with what I'm seeing in the wider market.

If you love visiting Disney Parks, the benefits of doing so as an employee are awesome.

A lot of my colleagues have not been as lucky on the promotion front, even though they are just as deserving.

A ton of late-breaking requirements for a recent major launch recently had a lot of people working around the clock. My new Hulu teammates are getting benefits cut significantly, and there is open vitriol about it. Management/HR's attempt at responding is to blow it off.

Morale is incredibly low right now, and based on the all-hands meeting, people are close to a revolt. The higher you get up the management chain, the more disconnected they seem from the day-to-day reality they created for us.

You need to start doing skip levels. Not just with people who report to your direct reports, but go down as low as you can go and make it clear you are open to honest feedback. Get to the people doing the work.

Hiring extra headcount to fight off higher-than-expected attrition is not a good management solution. Please look into why people are leaving and try to address that.
