Disneyland workers say they live in cars, motels due to low pay

  As a former cast member, the pay is atrocious. The “perks” have been slowly removed over the last two decades (I worked there from 2008 - 2016.) I’ve know plenty of cast members that lived six or eight people to a two bedroom apartment.

  They’ve lost a ton of employees and standards have dropped significantly.

  I’ve got stock in the company too, and I hope they strike and get everything they deserve.

  Fuck Iger, he’s been screwing over the cast members for years.

    You own stock but you’re rooting for the impoverished? Get absolutely fucked. Instead of that. How about you help you your fellow man instead of enriching yourself? Sounds real fucking good next to “hoping” my stocks pay off.

      I’m saying this would probably go against my stocks (that I got as part of the 401k from working next to these people) and I STILL want them to win. Even if my stocks go down.

      They’re a (former) worker that owns a part of that company. That’s how it should be. Workers owning their company.

      You sound like a Disney villain, how ironic.

      Some companies give stock as a primary benefit. Some of those companies may provide stock in lieu of pay. That doesn’t mean it’s necessary valuable - they typically give you some amount of stock equal to today’s salary, and you would be hopeful the value increases substantially.

      Just the fact that the other person has stock from his time being employed by Disney is no indicator of their wealth.
