Something that a company values so much that if you even think about using it without permission they will sue you into the stone age. Or something like that.

YUP..you have a company outlook account..you get one.

If you do not have a company outlook account, I strongly suggest you check out the portal on this newest policy installment from Legal.

Of course, I assume that you have already done so regarding "social networking" policy from Legal. If you have not, you need to hit both of them and fast if you use the Internet.

Good Luck!

Eh, then make your manager do some work. They are required to have printed copies of all policy changes for cast that do not have access to a company outlook account.

If your manager is an idiot, call EAP or Disney Legal. Request a printed copy of the policy change and report your idiot manager for violation of company policy.

I am tired of cast getting termed because they are not properly informed. Oh yeah, and the new year is starting with a race to see how fast that paperwork can be used here at WDW. :o:

Information is power -- arm yourself!

I understood it when I first signed up, any good idea they come up with is theirs, and any idea I come up with while employed is theirs. I signed that paper. It's a bit frightening to think what more there could be.

Any good idea you come up with AFTER you've left the company is still their idea! :eek:

Mapo, c'mon, you're expecting someone in that company to have a shred of sense? Please, their so called management, legal, et. teams have the brain functions of a coffee table. You can't expect a damn thing from them at all.
