Good Leftist Disney hoses its American employees

Disney Layoff Contract Disney Layoff Contract

The severance contract AMERICAN Disney employees were forced to sign.

Good little Leftist Disney corporation sacked its American employees in October, hired foreign workers, and made those getting pink slips train their replacements.

Because the foreign workers were cheaper.

Last Task After Layoff at Disney: Train Foreign Replacements

by Julia Preston

ORLANDO, Fla. — The employees who kept the data systems humming in the vast Walt Disney fantasy fief did not suspect trouble when they were suddenly summoned to meetings with their boss.

While families rode the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and searched for Nemo on clamobiles in the theme parks, these workers monitored computers in industrial buildings nearby, making sure millions of Walt Disney World ticket sales, store purchases and hotel reservations went through without a hitch. Some were performing so well that they thought they had been called in for bonuses.

Instead, about 250 Disney employees were told in late October that they would be laid off. Many of their jobs were transferred to immigrants on temporary visas for highly skilled technical workers, who were brought in by an outsourcing firm based in India. Over the next three months, some Disney employees were required to train their replacements to do the jobs they had lost.

“I just couldn’t believe they could fly people in to sit at our desks and take over our jobs exactly,” said one former worker, an American in his 40s who remains unemployed since his last day at Disney on Jan. 30. “It was so humiliating to train somebody else to take over your job. I still can’t grasp it.”

This isn’t happening in some other nation.  This is the United States.  What would you think if you were sacked in this economy and then, before your last day, you were forced to train your foreign replacement, knowing full well that person would be making less money than you — and wasn’t an American citizen?

This isn’t outsourcing.  This is reverse-insourcing.  This is Disney hiring people with H1B visas who have not been vetted by the federal government because the federal government is lazy, incompetent, overfed, bloated and uncaring.  The federal government has no idea who is truly behind each visa settling, now, into the US and taking the jobs of US workers.

Way to go, Disney, way to keep that Leftist groove going.  The Walt Disney Company, a company of which The People can be proud!

Just remember this BEFORE you plunk down American cash for a Disney film, where foreign workers take American jobs.
