The Disney/ABC Television Group, which includes the ABC network, local TV stations and the Disney Channel and ABC Family cable networks, is restructuring its operations, which will result in layoffs across the unit.

Disney layoffs in CA. Sure there were more in FL.

Is Disney going toward Obama's 29 1/2 hour work week?

Obamacare is imposing a 29 1/2 work week on America. Why don't we, as Americans, thank the Democrats for reducing American's paycheck at the Ballot Box as soon as possible.

Not enough. If it weren’t for football, we would never watch ABC.

I have noticed a steady stream of ESPN talking heads jumping to other networks.

Maybe the MSM will stop spinning lies for the AntiChrist if it starts hurting their bottom line. One can always dream...

[DeaconRed]

"Maybe the MSM will stop spinning lies."

Not a snowball in HELLS chance. None, Nada, Zip. OK Maybe two chances.
Slim.
None.

[dfwgator]

OK Maybe two chances. Slim. None.

And Slim just left town.

In the great roaring Obama economy, these libs should find good jobs right away. :)

A lot of people who have their hours cut back probably don’t produce 40 hours of real work anyhow. Yet another unintended consequence of Obamacare is that it provides a convenient rationale to reduce those in the work force who don’t carry their weight.

The decline of the Disney brand for quality and offering good clean imaginitive family fun has pretty much chronicled what has happened to the US over these decades. Is what happened to Disney a cause of our cultural demise, or is it the effect of grasping for ever more income having it follow the pack?

I'd say that when Disney stopped being Disney it left a huge gaping hole that was filled by the trash that now passes as a culture.

Who hid my bucket of “give a shi’ite”?

A lot of people who have their hours cut back probably don’t produce 40 hours of real work anyhow.

Actually, many are being taken off "full time" and being "invited" to the next "job position" which is "part time" 29 1/2 maximum per week. If you don't accept the new position, you are laid off. It is as simple as that.

Obamacare is HURTING AMERICA.

What would walt do?

Walt despised CA unions after they did a number on him in his early days. That is one of the reasons WDW is in FL.

This is just a continuation of that. Remember the california ecconomy stinks and has confiscatory taxation.
