They have perverted the dreams of Walt Disney on the altar of the profit and loss statement. They have nothing in common with Walt Disney. Eisner is a filthy ............
I consulted on several of the EPCOT projects when the park was being developed. I guess I was a bit naive because I didn't know who Michael Eisner was at the time, even though all the Disney people made me very aware of their pecking order.
Anyway they were having a problem at the Exxon site, and they knew I could help so they called me. I flew down there after working all day in NJ and showed up at the site at about 10 PM. At about 2AM there were still problems and I was wiped out. The #1 guy for the Exxon site didn't want me to leave. "What am I going to tell Michael," he asked.
I asked him, "WTF is Michael?", and maybe he responded. I told him, "Tell him [ML/NJ] went to his hotel to sleep."
We fixed the problem the next day, but I never saw #1 again.
(About three years later I did see in the WSJ that #1 was appointed to some sort of position in the Disney hiarchy, but he sure was absent for my duration which was about six more months intermitantly.)
