Morale and trust within the Walt Disney World government has deteriorated since allies of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took it over earlier this year, according to many employees who have departed in recent months saying the governing district has been politicized and cronyism now permeates the organization.

More than 40 out of about 370 employees have left the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District since it was taken over in February, raising concerns that decades of institutional knowledge is departing with them, along with a reputation for a well-run government.

“When I first joined the District, I found an organization that strived to be the very best at serving our community, sought the very best employees and valued those employees above all else,” a former facilities manager with three years of experience said in an employee exit survey last week. “I find myself leaving a completely different District. A District that prioritizes politics above all else and will gladly sacrifice its employees, its community and its work if there’s an opportunity to score political points.”

    I didn’t defend Disney, I just pointed out that your point is satirical at best. You would have made a much stronger case if you just left the last sentence out.

      I didn’t say anything satirical. “Put a chick in it and make her lame and gay!” HAS NOT BEEN SATIRE! ? :-( Disney, KK they really went all-in for that ESG and DEI scores ! They made “artistic” decisions in the board room to “pander” for ESG and DEI funding from “activist” investors / investment firms.

      Disney has been abusing writers and creators for decades with anything and anywhere they touched.

      Disney-BAD for many decades not just the last M-She-U thing.
