How sad.
Still, it's nice to read his resignation letter. All the sentiments of my fellow cast members and I are addressed there. In fact, many of my friends have handed in similar letters when they've quit.
I hired into Disney in 1987. For my entire stay there (until last year) I've felt how the company seemed to be headed downhill. But in the back of my mind, I always wondered if it was just me; like if it just felt that the company was going downhill because I was getting tired/bored with my job. Still, that might have played a part with my thoughts...
But that part about bad company morale is so dead on. All that sh*t starts at the top and trickles down. Managers get sh*t from their managers and give sh*t to their underlings, and on and on it goes, until it even reaches the guests...
I should say, however, that my last couple of years there, the morale wasn't as bad as it had been. I think we got rid of some bad managers or something (or maybe it was just Tomorrowland that lucked-out).
I always thought Eisner should have retired when he had that quadruple bypass operation. Perfect time for the company's health as well as his own. How much more money does the guy need to siphon out of the company???
