Great breakdown and explanation of the decline of one of the greatest entertainment corporations of all time
Cliffs:
-Toxic workplace
-Hiring used to be based on meritocracy
-Now factor in skin color, sexual orientation, and disability in opportunity allocation
-“Diversity brings unique perspective”
-At least 50% of regular and recurring characters and actors who play them have to be from underrepresented groups
-At least 50% producers, directors and writing staff should come from an underrepresented groups
-Casting director has to come from an underrepresented group or not have previously worked on a Disney show in this role
-Disney executives, motivated by short term gains, have seen diversity equity and inclusion policies will ally with these groups and make them money (DEI policy)
-No plans to change their strategy, Bob Igor just claims lack of focus.
-Directors and execs blame fans as a scapegoat. Saying it’s bigotry, racism, and sexism. Fans are not having it.
-Indoctrination of kids, some people not happy
-Prioritizing demographics over merit not good
-Open discourse discouraged. Anyone who speaks out is essentially going to get alienated and fired. They will be walking into a firing squad
-Prioritizing short term gains for long term results has failed Disney. They no longer have the team to rebuild even if they wanted to.
