Disney is just another Mickey Mouse outfit.
To: Red Badger
Yup. Being acquired sucks. Part of it is that Disney probably hasn’t made all the decisions. Last time I got bought there were layoffs on day one, and they straight out said they weren’t done, there would be more in 60 to 90 days as they got a better handle of how the companies fit together.

Do Disney staffers voice their frustrations as Mickey or Donald?

"I hate Disney for buying Fox, I hate Fox for selling, I hate the politicians for allowing it to happen." If only we had Fascism! Then the politicians would control all of the private corporations and these tragedies would not occur! [/s]

Sounds like you work for Broadcom, or one of the other Avago conquests.

No Canadian company. They’re acquisition based, average of a company a quarter. They’re very good at it.

"I've never seen anything like this — from any company," says a Fox employee who witnessed Thursday's drama. Somebody hasn't been in private industry very long. It happened to me, it's happened to all of my friends, and unless you're working for your Dad's auto parts store (and maybe even then) it'll happen to you. Suck it up and enjoy the Trump job glut.

Maybe they should have brought in Mitt Romney to negotiate the buyout (2012 joke).
I lost my job at Time Warner Cable after 19-1/2 years in 2010 and still struggling. I received three weeks pay for every year I had worked but have gone through rounds of unemployment and contractor work ever since. I expect I’ll retire early in a few more months.
So part of me has sympathy for what these employees are going through but also a bit of schadenfreude that they expected their parent company’s liberal policies would somehow not affect them personally.

This is probably the nice, gentle and kind phase I, by the HR ghouls.
The next 2 phases will be brutal.
People will be escorted off the premises, by security guards with a Kinko box loaded with heir personal belongings.

Happened to me in 1980.
I got a job with a Fortune 100 company, and on my 90th day everybody was fired because the division we worked for was sold to an overseas outfit, and the plant moved there..................

Do Disney staffers voice their frustrations as Mickey or Donald? Many use Grumpy's voice, but then it is off to reeducation camp. When they return, they use Happy's voice. On a side note, the Accountants also use that voice exclusively, especially when they raise prices.
To: Red Badger
First I heard that Fox News and Fox Business News weren’t part of the deal.
