This information is universally known in the travel industry and "Terry" should have known what she was getting herself into. It's essentially like someone complaining that boot camp was too difficult. Look, if that's the industry you want to be in, and you're willing to suck it up for six months, you've got an entry on your resume that's second to none.
As for the other behavior, what do you expect out of a bunch of 20 somethings in the travel industry? Them's the breaks, if that's not your bag, then you're not going to be very happy in that line of work, sweetheart. Better you found out now than discovered it when you were 28.

According to some here, it's all to be expected and nobody should expect anything different from Disney...or anybody for that matter. I guess we are all to embrace the new lower standards for behavior - corporate and individual. Everybody does it....what did you expect....better just wise up.....blah, blah, blah....
To: Owl_Eagle
The recruiter must have LIED to Terry because of the answers she got to her questions.
I didn't know about these goings on either, it is not general public knowledge except among those who have been there or know someone who has been there.

Recruiters ALWAYS lie.
Ask the Army. or a Marine. Or a Navy person or someone from the Air Force.
It's what recruiters DO.

It's "uversally known" that when you work for a supposedly family friendly resort that 2 homos are going to drop trou and start having sex in front of you while denegrading your religion? Did you read the article?
I must not be very universal, because unlike you I haven't gotten with that program yet.
Walt Disney's dream has become a leftist nest of anti-Christian disordered depravity. As a Christian and a Floridian I will be discouraging anyone and everyone I know to stay far away from them and cost them as much money as possible.

Well, I'll be damned (not literally, please). I did a search for all the combinations and nothing came up. Sorry for the duplicate. The article was dated today so I 'assumed' the search was good.

"I did a search for all the combinations and nothing came up. "
"Dark Days" would have brought it up. No problem, though. I just wanted to let folks know that there were a lot of messages on the earlier thread.

AMEN. The entire Disney family must have bile in their throats over this kind of behavior.
To: Owl_Eagle
Your reply is absurd. A college student being recruited for a summer job doesn't know about the travel industry. More importantly, the behavior described is not acceptable to any normal human being. It is immoral and repulsive. This is not the way most 20 somethings behave. To suggest such a thing reflects more on your experience than how most people act.

I would have thought it common sense that a bunch of young adults together for the summer would engage in those sorts of activities.

I didn't ever think ten years of experience in the hospitality/ travel/ food industry would come in handy here on FR, but I've been wrong before.
The recruiter must have LIED to Terry because of the answers she got to her questions.
Lied? Maybe, I dunno. If you sign up for a tour with the merchant marines, are you gonna get wet? Yeah. If you ask the recruiter, he's gonna tell you you'll be issued a poncho and a water tight sleeping facility. Take that for what it's worth, it's no guarantee you won't get wet.
It's "universally known" that when you work for a supposedly family friendly resort
FRiend, I doff my hat at you that you found a way through higher education, or at least your present station in life that you didn't have to pay for college by working in a hotel.
This is probably the one ultimate truth in that industry: A Johnson and Whales (probably mis-spelled that) or a six month Disney Boot Camp are the badges of honor. And everyone (okay, not the house keeper at the Motel Six by the Junction, but those in the 5 Star/ 4 Diamond properties) knows it.
I worked with 4 people who struggled through the decision of doing the Disney Boot Camp and it wasn't an easily arrived decision for any of them. They knew that they'd be worked 70+ hours a week, they knew they'd be exposed to massive forces that would test the bounds of existing relationships.
Disney is hell. If you're in the census to get in there, you've gotta know that.
A college student being recruited for a summer job doesn't know about the travel industry...To suggest such a thing reflects more on your experience than how most people act.
Essie, if someone with a major outside of hospitality applied for a job at Disney, for one of these jobs, they'd almost certainly be turned down outright. This isn't the typical "Summer Job", it's a major notch in the belt for hospitality majors.
I highly doubt that the recruiter suckered someone into the program suggesting something along the lines of "you'll be a life guard" or anything like that. The people who I knew who went through the program knew good and well what would be required of them.
Yes, Essie, I did pay my way through seven years of college at a five star hotel. I met people, saw things, heard beliefs that to this day make my blood run cold. But hospitaitly is a den of inequity. Homosexuals, social deviants, and all other manner of misfits call that industry home.
This is not a profession for the Good Life. (and I thank God that my only scars are nightmares).

I don't know why this wouldn't qualify as a hostile work environment. I would have reported it to management and if there were no improvement sued. Conservatives need to use the courts as a tool against our opponents like they are against us (like MA gay unions). A couple of multi-million awards against Disney for a hostile work environment and a few more for failing to maintain security for "gay days" might change their attitude.

The Marines simply state, "We're looking for a few good men." Where is the lie? In fact...where is the promise?
To: Owl_Eagle
You're missing the forrest for the trees. This is sickness and depravity gone wild. It doesn't matter what you contend is to be expected or what the standards of this travel industry are.
Disordered perversion and disgusting and dangerous behavior is harmful and destructive. If you haven't learned this yet, learn it as soon as possible.
