She didn’t get married and have kids is because she does get paid enough to have a family

That kind of greed is pure evil. If I ran a $110B company, it would be my joy and privilege to pay my employees exceptionally well.

This is where our government needs to get involved and make laws to protect the people instead of the greedy rich executives.
Lup Domnitor That’s called socialism,government control
@@gladiator8325 There should be a balance! Not fully capitalist not fully socialist. The socialism they have in Denmark, Canada or Sweden is a perfect model!
Lup Domnitor agreed, The problem is once you give the government an inch it takes a mile.
Look at how out of control our government is right now violating the rights of the citizens.
Boycott Disney and let them know why. Anyone who works 40 hrs shouldn’t be homeless.
Loads of people are homeless working 40 hrs a week. I was homeless work 55 hrs a week at one point. Bills are expensive and sometimes you loose you home cos its a difficult decision to ask yourself if you want a bed to sleep in or to be able to eat that day. The world is hard. 15 an hour is more than i make but its more a factory pay cos thats what ill be making when i get a raise. But my 15 an hr will pay my rent, bills and groceries. Theirs maybe wont cover gas. Its all based on the economy in the area. Flordia is expensive
I have been telling ppl this for years. Sadly most are too selfish to care about others.....
I dont live in the us but what is the minimum wage there in belgium it is 1600 here lower that that is illigal
@@zombies9437 lmao spoken like a true American.
@@stopmotionpro233 minimum wage here is 7.50-8$ an hr or 5.72£ to 6.10£ some weeks you may not make over 200$ (152.42£)
This is so horrible. The woman sitting on the floor with her Mickey Mouse toys but not being able to afford her own space because of Disney’s lack of care for her was so sickening to me. This company is awful.
did this issue resolved by the us government?
She has the option to work somewhere else. She simply doesn't want to. It would be awful if she was a slave and was being forced to work there against her will, but she isn't.

@@turborewind what's wrong with satanism?
@idk idk the sigil of baphomet is the name of the symbol in my picture and it is a representation of satan by the church of satan by anton lavey it represents individualism, power, and opposition against religion. That's why i am asking what's wrong with "satan" a mythological creature that is worshipped by Christians who believe in him, they believe in him because there is a heaven. I am sick of ignorants who believe that satanism is worshipping satan, the real satanism doesn't believe in gods or demons we are our own gods.
It’s a company that makes $2 million dollars a DAY in the Park’s parking, and workers barely afford rent? I mean come on man.
Plus they pay little property tax or tax on that revenue to Anaheim!
Disney is rolling in his grave right now, use the spin to generate power to cover Disney staff getting a professionals wage. Better they go work for a kids restaurant would be better pay plus tips.
@@silveryfoxau disney was an abusive jerk too, read up on him
I know they could pay all the a 1000ish employees 50,000 a year and would only be using less then a months worth of profit.
Or just take half of the ceoc's check.
This totally destroyed the image of Disney for me, really heartbreaking
Come on these people have no skill and are basically earning minimum wage .... If the government does not change the minimum wage then no one will give them a job for their skill set cause they got none
@@ravinroberts3246 Shut up. Even if these people don't have great skills they deserve to have a living wage and be able to be food secure and pay rent
@@ravinroberts3246 So the hairstylist working there has no skill? What about the entertainers, the artists, the chefs? Still no skill???
@@ravinroberts3246 so just because they have “no skills” that mean they deserve to be homeless barely even being able to pay the basic stuff
@@ravinroberts3246 , That is literally the stupidest comment I've read on here, and that's saying something.
These people have great customer service and people skills, unlike yourself.
I have never spoken to a Disney employee that wasn't intelligent, sharp and personable; all three things you lack, from your comment. Speaking of lacking a skill set.
(And your lack of grammar and punctuation skills. You got none.
Judge not lest you be judged, bro.)
I'm French and at the end of my 3 years of college, a Disney guy came to our small college in a shithole city to tell us for 3 hours that we could work in Orlando. After 3 hours of presentation, he told us that the salary was like 10 dollars an hour, we are expected to work extra hours and we have to sleep in a dorm. Nobody applied.
Good, know yohr worth and dont work at a crappy company
The Disney guy in a way was right - you can work in Orlando, no problem. You just cant afford to live in Orlando.
Also, I'm surprised he went to a French town to recruit. He obviously didn't do his research into French Labor history ... oh well LOL. Hope you have found a job you love, that pays well, best of luck :)
Disney isn't so magical when some of their employees are sleeping in cars.
Sad that this happens
No one held a gun to their head. These are summer jobs for college kids, not lifetime careers.

@@DeeDeeCupcakies - according to the video and your comnent, the CEO makes 7 times the amount of operating expenses per year and that's just his base salary. Sounds like they are not allocating funds correctly...
do you know how much money they make?
Most of it goes to this Bob Moron 😡
Walt Disney is probably rolling in his grave. Heard something about how he cared more about people's happiness than the money he made. Now his company has all the money in the world and can't even make their employees happy by giving them a living wage
@Food Braise Dont self promote because no one is gonna watch your videos plus some are gonna hate on you
@Food Braise Discord servers often have chats dedicated to self promotion. But yeah, i agree with the guy above, self promotion in replies of comments gets annoying, and I've never seen anyone actually watch a video from a channel because of it
Disney was notorious for underpaying off his employees & there was even a strike by the workers in the 50's over it.
@savour Food you will just get people annoyed and get more dislikes this way. More dislikes means that your videos will have a harder time being recommended to other people.
@@itwasagoodideaatthetime7980 yeah :(
Tech companies: we scam our costumers
Disney: *we scam both our costumers AND our employees*
Do you mean 'consumers'?
I assume you mean customers , employees, and (in the case of Disney) costumers, which of course are also employees.
@@katefromouttaspace378 , Or perhaps he means "customers".
Where in outer space are you, Kate? Just curious.....
Disney literally owns like 60% of the film industry wtffff
That figure at the end of q4 was 80%
You mean 100% and they don’t give enough money to the hard working people
And four Disney Cruise Ships.
It doesn’t even own 50% of the film industry
Der Schwindel well they’re not a Monopoly
They charge people a fortune and don’t even pay their employees?!?!?!
Was thinking the exact same thing!!
@@saritharamu6506 it’s like bruh. I’m paying almost 180 per park hopper. You can give your employees more
That is EXACTLY what I was thinking too! Hold up, a family of 4 pays at least 2k for a weekend visit, and the employee who does all the work and creates all of the experiences gets maybe MAYBE $240 of that gross @ $15/he (x16hrs)...
Something is seriously off with that. I own a business, understand overhead and paying employees...that is just too big of a disparity. Big wigs getting too much at the expense of the people doing the work for them. Elitism at its best. What's sad is people REALLY love working for Disney...their loyalty to a company that is (let's be honest) not loyal to them only hurts the employees.
The answer is for each and every employee to stand up together. That is the only way Disney will actually get the picture...when you hit their pocketbook hard.
@@aubz81 Exactly your right. Thanks for taking the time to respond
@@aubz81 you're not running a multi billion dollar company so let's not pretend that your expenses are the same as Disney's.
Additionally, she is low skilled labour who is easily replacable by a 15 year old so why should she get paid more?

Disneyland should changed name to capitalistland
More like communistland, where the workers are proletariats and the CEO is the government. This is the same way in Cuba, the Castro family is full of multi billionaires, where did they make all that money when Cubans eat from trash?
@@AlehandrosArhangelos anything I don't like is communism, even literal capitalist billionares. Words have no meaning now.
@@utsavman47 Yes because communism has no meaning, every single communist nation had the leader to be multi billionaires, Cuba, China, N.Korea, Venezuela, even USSR Russia had their leaders living like kings while the peoplg starved or send to gulags... you really think that communism is rainbows and equality, open your eyes, Disneyland is like all those communist countries. There is no freedom in them, only what the big brother says.
@@AlehandrosArhangelos except you're literally talking about capitalist countries and the effects of late stage capitalism lmao.
@@utsavman47 Did you just call those communist countries as capitalist? The people live in communist totalitarian regime, the ruling class lives like kings.

But they're not. That's the problem. They're greedy mfs who deserve none of the money they're being paid
horribly ironic disneyland employees can't afford to go to disneyland

@@lvelfe3415 even still they can't afford a giddamn house or anything like that
I think most employee cant afford to go to the company they work. Like hotel workers cant afford to stay at that hotel. After all, its life. There are so many jobless who are wanting to have your job. If you dont like it, look for other job. And nowadays competition is hard. We need to have higher education and experience to compete with the young generations.

@@genpepper3 Campaign cash went to his wife? Source?
So that's how they make money. By not paying their employee. They like their job and that's how they take advantage.
Instead of using money to ruin movies why don't they take that and pay their employees properly
Yeah, who are you to tell them how to spend THEIR money?
@Blackpilled Saint The worker has agreed to do the work with a consensus on the paycheck. As the matter of fact, they do not owe the worker anything.
@Blackpilled Saint What they (the worker) should do is up to them. But one thing they shouldn't do is to do the work they didn't agree on the pay (And actually no one should).
@Blackpilled Saint I understand your concern. But corperate is a private owned business. It is not their job to provide social welfare. There is a problem, but you are pointing the finger to the wrong place.
@Blackpilled Saint no that's what there crappy live action movies are for u see
Knowing that some of these people are sacrificing many things in order to make other people happy, really hurts.
Hmm..
You don't get paid to make people happy, you're paid on the impact on the company. Yes, you might make a few kids smile or keep a section clean, but your overall impact on the company pales in comparison to the CEOs impact. Each decision the CEO makes can create a surplus of billions or a loss of millions. It's reality I'm afraid and it's okay.
It sounds like forced labor.
@@blackumbrella6199 IF you get paid, it isn't. People have choices - should have become a doctor to become wealthy.

Disney employees really make the place magical, they do deserve more.
Von Zaag this is so true!!
This is a problem for the whole country. A living wage should be given to everyone.
Von Zaag ikr!!
@sbtopjosh if you don't think disney of all companies can afford to pay every single one of their employees a living wage you live in a fantasy land lmao. disney is a terrifyingly massive corporation cruising towards a monopoly at this point, i think they'll be fine.
@sbtopjosh first! i'm not a child i actually just graduated with a bachelor's degree in engineering, currently working towards getting a phd at an ivy league institution. also getting an mba so i know a thing or two. second! of course disney won't because they're a corporation, however, they definitely can afford to and really should be required to do so. i think it's very simple, any full time job should be able to cover someone's bare minimum living expenses, full time pay for a full time job seems pretty fair to me. that should be the bare minimum. it's really not that easy to just "find a different job." job training takes time and money that can be difficult to save up when you can't even afford to pay rent. how are people supposed to educate themselves when they're living out of their cars when many college students don't manage to educate themselves while their parents pay their tuition? your entire comment drips with a condescension that makes it clear to me that you lack some basic knowledge of the real world as well as basic empathy. please educate yourself, as these deficits might cause you trouble when looking for a job in the future.
15$ an hour is a starting wage. Some who’s worked for a company for 30 years should not settle for such a small amount. That is NOT enough. They should be at least making 27 dollars an hours
Jobs pay their worth, no one made her stay for 30 years. Most younger people that work there gain real skills & leave after a few years. She’s not a victim.
Isn’t California’s minimum wage at $16/hr now? Not saying they don’t deserve more, but I do think $27/hr for a job that anyone off the street can do is a bit much…especially since some college graduates aren’t even making that much.
Also, $15/hr at 30 hrs/week comes out to $1800/month before taxes…I know California’s expensive, but even on minimum wage, its hard to believe a person with 4 other roommates still can’t afford to buy food for themselves.
I worked at Disneyland as a summer job back in the 1980's. Yes, it was "fun" - but they didn't pay enough. So I quit half way through the summer and found a job that paid better. With all due respect, working at an amusement park is fine if you're in High School or College. Disneyland is NOT designed to be a career. There are skilled blue collar jobs out there - no college degree needed - that pay MUCH better.
Minimum wage was made for all jobs.
@@violeta6846 great come back you really got him with that one.
Imagine if the employees quit altogether...
They will be replaced for the hundreds of unemployers neoliberalism has created
Visa are for that purpose ur rant wont help
All the illegals will work for $1 an hr
i don't think they can afford to do that
there will always be those that will be willing to work. which has always been their go to argument which is no one is forcing them to stay and work for those wages. i will acknowledge that minimum wages were never meant to be living wages.

amazing that this was filmed 2 yrs ago. These poor people were probably hit hard by the pandemic. And just today, the effort to pass $15 min wage federally. was kicked down the line yet again. America really is a sorry sad country.
Disney should pay all their character actors at least $50-60 an hour! That’s how much I make as a piano teacher, so I’d imagine every Disney character actor - who goes through extensive, brutal, dedicated, difficult training, mentally and physically, to prepare for their select Disney roles - would earn even more! Disney expects the actor to literally BECOME the character and morph into them. Plus they have to keep on a happy, eager face all day/night and show lots of affection towards the guests, even if they are completely burned out on the inside.
This, to me, is a truly honorable and commendable career for them to have. Yes, it’s a true career for the actors; not simply a job. The chances of an applicant being chosen as a Disney princess or other character is extremely rare. So considering all those tedious and exhaustive parts of their work, I believe the princesses/villains/characters deserve AT LEAST $50 an hour. I’d pay them even more if it was up to me, because they truly make a big impact on the lives of children and keep their imagination and dreams alive. *Disney has a net worth of 168 BILLION as of June, 2023. They’re more than capable of giving ALL their employees a generous, well-deserved salary!*
They cant afford rent because they live in California.
TheBitBlock All the more reason why they should be making more. I mean, let’s face it: Disneyland NEEDS employees to operate, right? And people can’t commute hours each way, each day, to get to work so it’s essential that Disney pay them a living wage, and it just so happens that’s in California.
I'm saying the problem lies within the HORRENDOUS leadership of California. Dems have totally ruined what was at one time one of the strongest states in our country. It is now one of the worst.
The issue is Orange County. The rent was crazy when I was there 20 years ago. It's worse now. And I hate to break it to you "TheBitBlock," Orange County is a conservative county. The problems there are because of decades of conservative leadership.
Its the fact that everybody wants to move to California. People think its a huge state, but most of the habitable regions are only on the coast. California is super OVER POPULATED>
lol a quick simple google search for "orange county conservative" instantly disproved your statement "aimee". Orange County is far from conservative or right wing.
I applied for a position at Disneyland which required a specific college degree and very specific experience. Just prior to flying me to CA for my final interviews the man who would be my boss called me to explain that the position did not pay a livable wage. He said with my family of four we would be living below the poverty line. We’d have to live 2-3 hours from the park to afford rent. The person who’s position I was filling had graduated from my school 3 years prior and was unable to make it work financially. I’m sorry Disney, but magic fairy dust is not a tangible benefit of working there. Being such a “standout” company you’d think they’d pay well above the average and take care of the people who are the face of the company.
Totally agree, Walt would be so ashamed knowing his employees are treated like dirt.
@@SoulEternalPeaceWarrior77 I don't think he'd care honestly.
People with great degree shouldn't take job there...there are many other great jobs with appropriate salary and rewards.
aundrea hodges
True, Walt was a mega-capitalist and literally accused his animators of being communist when they went on strike against his company, so he wouldn't care.
Handy Menagerie I work an industrial job, even though it's a small private machine shop, many companies in Manhattan signed a contract with the owner to repair their electric motors, split case water pumps, fire pumps, and sewage pumps. The job for me isn't the most pleasant, but the pay is worth it, When my first semester of college started, Alot of questions were asked about my scars, burns, and cuts. I'm surprised such a huge company like Disney is so cheap and greedy. My paycheck is close to 15$ an hour, working from 7am-3:30pm . I'm so shocked at Disney for being like this to its workers. I heard a bunch of kids talking in college about working for Disney, they're so unaware of the dark truth
And they say:"Disney is a FAMILY company".
More like a company for rich families.
It's not Disney necessarily it's the fact that it's Disney in California. The cost of living in California is two times higher than in Florida where the other Major disney park is in the U.S.. One bed room apartments in California are $2,000+ where as in florida you can get a one bedroom apartment for $600-800.
In orlando fl $1000 for apartment (unless you can find something cheap in a really bad part of town)... in south florida $1400+ (still not in the best part of town)... north florida yea 600-800... more south more expensive
Just Imagine... Cinderella sleeps in her car
She also lived in a basement, wore rags and had rats for friends.

Looks like real life Cinderella, still waiting for her happy ending even after 30 years!
I hope they aren’t going to lose their jobs for this
They have been fired based on contract breach of disclosure.
Isineone there Oh do you know them?
What is your source?
Its a Disney thing. Even the actors who sign with disney have to be careful. If they so much as start dating someone they can be dropped for breach of contract. They cant even take a job with anyone else as they are solely Disney's.
Its the same with the actors. Can't be in the light of media, can't talk to media, cant take anything from guests. Not even water. Can't talk to no one except in her happy character voice. If you are caught not talking in your character vpice or breaking any rules your fired.
Oh my God is Disney greedy stupid?
this makes me so angry. the amount of companies they own their employees deserve not just a livable wage but a good salary. sickening
As a former Disney employee I agree with this. You give up so much time holidays and weekends. Crazy work schedule.
Disney is so tight with their money, like when everyone quarantined they were acting like they were going bankrupt like please you have countless movies people are paying money to watch, and Disney+
So that indicates that they are NOT managing thier money responsibly. All this money being made what have they done with it. No reason they should be broke in a week
@Ayshah Shahab She'd been working there for 30+ years and her wages have dramatically decreased. It was probably a decent job back in 1988. And are they supposed to close the parks during the daytime? That's what would happen if only high schoolers and college students worked at Disney.
@Ayshah Shahab do even realize how STUPID you sound
@Ayshah Shahab She has worked for a company that has brought joy to the lives of millions of children. When families come to the park, it is her job to make sure that they are happy and form good memories that will last forever. A lot of kids have great memories of going to Disney, and that wouldn't be possible without her and thousands of other employees. Her life is not worthless. She deserves to be paid enough to afford a home.
@Ayshah Shahab you are disgusting.
Its sadder that these people have to put on a facade of joy so that they don't disappoint and ruin the atmosphere of the visitors
Thats the point of their job
Couldn’t they get a better job that pays more?
I’m pretty sure they like their job but the pay is horrible
@@Echo-kq5gp Couldnt the companies just make some arrangments and lower all salaries? If Disney payed less than McDonalds, macdonalds would become the best job ever, easy.

If you love the job but is homeless... I think you're weighing your priorities too far off.
They sound like they're defending an abusive spouse.
Michelle Muller Dead on. They do!
I mean they kinda are.
Disney typically likes to shut up any negative info regarding them.
I think they are scared if they say too much that Disney will fire them or even take legal action against them in retaliation. It's actually more like a "Shotgun Wedding/Marriage".

However , The US is a capitalist country where the rich people be richer by not paying taxes and the poor becomes poorer because the government doesn’t support them and they cannot avoid paying taxes ...
It’s safe to say that the economic system turned from “a free government for all” into an unsustainable system of extraction and exploitation. And if things do not change , the country would be in shambles because capitalism is not sustainable...

Because , Right now , Capitalism is the best option for our economy. That doesn’t mean it always is , Because while yes, it would help in the short-term , I think it’s not going to help any of us in the future except for the rich,
So our hope lies with the governments, and currently , The US government is not helping to put It simply ...
I just want the government to regulate the economy so that corporations like Disney wouldn’t abuse it, And , I hope that this would improve the economy where the corporations becomes more competitive and productive and doesn’t exploit the citizens for profit..
Disney also doesn't pay their cruise line workers enough and have not a care in the world about their health.
My dad works on one of their cruise lines, and one morning he was having severe headaches, I think he passed out at one point.

Moonstone Vc It doesn’t cost over $1200 (a REALLY cheap house rent) to go to Disney land 😂
Mitch W Depending on circumstances, it very well could. Airfare, passes to the park for how long you’ll be staying, hotel, food, and souvenirs all add up very quickly.
I wish I had your rent 😂
Mitch W if you bring ur children and are paying for food and hotels which contribute to Disney yes you are paying that or more
Moonstone Vc, not going to disneyland means less money for disney... lower pay rates for the employees.
There were some people saying that thses jobs are for "high-school students". In that case, literally any job which takes in high schoolers will be driving down all wages! Wages should keep up with inflation. period.
In Paris, Disney employees are on strike for a raise! Wake up American employees ! Disney without you is nothing!!!! Be brave and fight for your rights! 💪💪💪💪 They must pay you properly. They earn enough.
I had worked with a cast member who died homeless in their car. I live paycheck to paycheck barely able to pay my bills. $15/hour is not enough.
Omg I'm so sorry
Try $10.05 in England
@@RERTOxCRAFT that's not enough. To rent an apartment here it's almost 2000/month
good, good, we get closer to skynet everyday...
@@RERTOxCRAFT 4 years ago I was making $9.25 USD p/h working at 7 Eleven as the sole breadwinner of my household. The struggle to get by is so real....
When that lady cried at the start, that broke my heart ❤ She reminds me of my mother. And I just think of my mom living in a car which I would never want! God bless.
And she's been working there 30 years! Imagine the pay raises that she's been denied.
@@laurent1144 hard to imagine, since she does the exact same no-skill work she was hired to do 30y ago. If she gets a raise for having little education, then I should get a much larger raise so I can keep my lifestyle ahead of hers
Same!:(
@@tmmsplace I've never worked for a company that didn't give annual cost of living raises. Why are you sympathizing with a corporation?
@@laurent1144 that's interesting. I've only received pay raises for position and/or work responsibilities. For instance, I was promoted, but received a pay raise around the same time. I had been pushing for the recognition, and was given it. No co. I've heard of gives COL raises outside of union work - public sector or private. What work have you come across that gives COL increases?
I'm not a cast member but I am a Disney fan and it breaks my heart too hear this but we all need to remember this isn't just a problem in Florida its a world wide problem and it sucks . Its too expensive to afford stuff these days. My thoughts go into all your guess prayers.
My uncle used to work for Disney from the time he finished high school until he passed away from cancer when he was in his mid 50's. He used to wear the prince costumes then he became Costumes Director later. He did say he enjoyed his job and I thought he made a lot of money. It just dawned on me that he was struggling the whole time.
With all the money DISNEY is making can't even give your employees a good paycheck 🤦🏾♀️
Disney's job is to entertain people, not give their employees everything. Would the world be better if 1000 employees get paid better or if 10 million people are entertained well for a lower price? Think about it.....you can't have both.
@@Jimraynor45 wrong. A company who refuses to pay fair wages has no moral right to do buisness as it's forcing tax payers to increase company profits through covering the remaining expenses of the subsisting employees through health care etc.
@@Jimraynor45 but those people make the entertainment work
KAYLAH LYRICS
If they don’t like the amount Disney will pay, find another job. Higher wages just makes things more expensive.
It suppose to be a summer job.
$18 by 2022 is too long of a time. It should’ve been $18 5 years ago
$10.05 in England
By then rent will increase even more
2020
Rent is already out of control in California without wages increasing much
This is so painful to watch. Honest hardworking people being ripped off what they deserve.
That is why you need unions
They should all go on strikes to disrupt their whole operation
And? Do you know how many people want to work at Disney land? They could replace all their staff tommorow with no problem finding people.
Plus going on strike means not working and getting paid. They literally can't afford to strike.
That'd be funny and probably do nothing lol. Disney has always been trash to it's workers, chances are it won't stop now
Theu could ger fired. Wich is good thing. Because they must find a better job.
So resort to blackmailing your employer b/c you're not satisfied with your wage of the job you chose?
Why don't they buy a nearby plot make a building and allow them to stay as long as they work. Don't pay extra. Just give them their living. It's a high profit business they can certainly do that.
Aarushi Guptaa this is the best idea I’ve heard in forever.
I was thinking the same. There is a few companies here in Barcelona which they rent appartements for the workers and give as a plus for working there, when they are fired or renounce they leave the apartment, the company will not lose money since is an investment.
I don't undertand how a giant corp like Disney in California incapable to think of this, maybe they do but they don't want to.
At first I thought it was a stupid idea, but it actually makes a lot of sense. Disney knows how to make tons of hotels, and they'd probably benefit by keeping their workers in a single place and close to the park to save time and money.
sounds like slavery
I hope every employee at Disney are well, especially this extraordinary hard time for everyone. May God Bless you!
This is horrible, they NEED to get paid better❤️✝️.
" *if it's bad, then leave* " seriously people. It's hard to find a job these days. AND TO THOSE PEOPLE WHO KEEPS SAYING THAT THERE ARE LOTS OF JOB AVAILABLE, REMEMBER, NOT EVERYONE IS QUALIFIED.
Few would have trouble finding a job if there was no minimum wage.
That's the pain of reality.
That’s nonsense. Unemployment is lowest it’s been in US history and there are tons of job openings in tech and other very high paying jobs such as truck driving etc
@@hajjdawood i understand your point. Not everyone is skilled. It's easy to say but in reality, it's so hard to find a job that can feel your *needs*

This company sells dreams, magical stories, a world of beauty and people working there spend there lives spreading happiness and joy with there own life at stake and that's how this company shows there gratitude.

Are You kidding, or may be you communist? It's business, nothing more.
@@useRed_Red If they can't pay for employees that are giving there hard labor for 50 years then they shouldn't creat such a job, then there shouldn't be this many employees. Uhh! That's the problem of this generation they have forgotten to be compassionate and to realize that how precious a life is. If you are so agreed then why don't you work as an employee who is paid less and sleep in the car everday and wake to find yourself alone.
@@useRed_Red why to create such business that brings suffering to people and nature (in general).

@Shutupand Sitdown I have always be confused with that eversince my childhood
They are a billion dollar company! Gaining so much money every single day. They should be able to pay their workers 15 dollars an hour, or more! They deserve it.
Not even in a dream does this make any sense!!! It seems like almost everything is a sugar coated lie. What a shame.
SHAME ON THEM!!! 👎🤢 SICKENING!
Annie no shame on the sucker who keeps working for them!
Edmund ~ Many of them are desperate to have a job ... ANY job.
Annie working at a job for 30 years is not desperate to have a job, and secondly the employees in Orlando, Florida do not have this problem because cost of living is a fraction of California.
really ? living in condo and sharing it with 5 other people is not being desperate ? Give it a shot!
sergejisd she put herself in that position, not disney.
Glynndana has been a loyal employee working at Disneyland for 30 years, and in her 50's, when she should be financially secure and enjoying her life, she can't afford to eat breakfast. This is disgusting. Nevermind the pay gap between the CEO and employees, where is the LOYALTY and GRATITUDE to this woman who has happily worked for you and made your customers happy? People say disneyland is the happiest place on earth. And it's not because everybody meets the CEO there. They meet the WORKERS. The ones you pay peanuts to, are the ones who make lifetime memories for the children who visit, who then bring THEIR families when they have their own children. Sickening.
Paige Connelly that true it also stopped becoming the happiest place on earth when employees are underpaid & overworked. It shows.
Paige Connelly no they say Disney world is the happiest on earth cause they actually pay there employees and its bigger and better
Luna Vail you're a Disney shill
Zack Fair ?
Paige Connelly I’m crying bc I wonder if any of these people got fired over their interview :”(
So for all the people mad at Disney. Listen to this. This woman denied the promotions offered to her. She should be a manager but doesn’t want to be. It’s her fault don’t feel bad for her bad ideas.
This is literally Disney's backstage.
It is ridiculous a billion dollar company like
Disney doesn’t even pay a livable wage this
should not be allowed, or even tolerate!! The working class needs to stand and fight these corporations
It's your government's fault that it's like that though. There's a thing called minimum wage which should be implemented by the government. If the minimum wage cannot feed and pay for rent, that is your government's fault. Not disney or any private company.
@@reeeeeeee-e2g yeah I know it’s the governments fault but they don’t care either because who do you think the corporations pay to have laws in their favor !!! We have minimum wages, but they are too low federally it’s only $7.25. While most states have implemented higher ones we still continue to see US rates of homeless rising.
The best policy to make a company pay better wages is citizens themselves not taking the job.
@@buzinaocara so they should just completely rid themselves of any chance to make money ? These people can’t afford to turn down jobs it’s called exploitation, and that’s what the US and world frankly seem to thrive off.
Go to Russia
Dang when that poor woman broke down mid sentence i lost it
How is this okay and how is this happening with a company that has a crazy high profit margin
Because the dumb employees are still willing to work at their job. Nobody is forcing them to stay at Disney.
Disney needs these employees. They're an evil company.
Ikr? Everyone in the US that is employed deserve a living wage. That's what the minimum wage was all about..
@@FuuHolliday Not necessarily, and a minimum wage takes away the ability for someone to make themselves cempetative as an employee. You need to be able to work for less than the others.
There is an older documentary with the same woman where she is a little more optimistic, but now I can see she is really heartbroken. #disney shamefull.
We actually don’t need those tax breaks, we really just prefer our workers to live in squalor
Never, NEVER, WORK for Disneyland!
This is upsetting. I cannot believe that a company so large payed their employees so little! I cannot believe this! That’s rotten!

Quit taxing the poor and over taxing the lower middle class and over spending tax money.
Convince gov to let everyone have an acre of free tax free fertile land to grow a food forest on and live on.

For those who and whos parents cant afford it, tax deductible chairty and or the about 180,000dollars spent on k thru 12 per student could pay for it and trash k thru 12 and some of that money could be used to promote more independence and healthy living.

@Uncle Ruckus Indonesia. Do you know it?
Why don’t u outsource job to us (India)
in my country ( new zealand ) minimum wage is $17.17 but everything is overpriced
Amazon's minimum is $15....
US has the largest difference in the world of average worker pay to CEO pay. US the average CEO makes 265 times the average worker's wage. In Japan it is only 33 times. In Canada it is 149 times. Henry Ford at first paid his employees more money so that they could afford the companies product. Homeless & employees subject to food insecurity don't make for a faithful workforce.
Man .. this just broke my heart. Their working hard, keeping visitors happy and yet cannot afford a house .
I have read the Bob iger book and he is saying that our biggest priority is our employees , such a hypocrite.
Good for you man that you were able to switch to a better job. But that's not the point. It's about taking care of your employees. They are not asking for massive raises here. They're simply asking for a minimum wage for their basic necessities. The same woman who has been working for 30yrs, was able to afford a single BHK back in the day is now living in a shared condo. That just shows you that you're wages are not being adjusted for inflation. Sadly that's the case everywhere. But what irks me is that attitude that "I was able to do better so they could too" and hinder meaningful change. Just because you were able to do it, doesn't mean anyone can. There are only so many jobs for so many ppl. And unfortunately most jobs are not even paying the minimum wage. But your CXOs make millions and write how they take care of their employees but they only care about revenues/profit and the wealth gap increases by the micro second.
He’s not CEO anymore.
He thinks he saved the world by firing James gunn over a dumb tweet
For everyone making excuses about California being expensive. So? London is expensive, yet companies manage to pay their employeess more so that they can afford to live. We have a 'National minimum wage' and a 'London living wage'. The LLW is higher than the NMW because obviously, living in london is a lot more expensive than the average to live in other areas. The same goes for other major cities in the world. Yes, everything is more expensive, but you get paid more. Does your money go as far as someone who gets paid less in a cheaper area? No. But you can still afford to live in a HOUSE and not a car.
Thank you. Thank you for not being a patriotically paranoid American who loses their minds whenever someone in this country suggests that the US isn't perfect and that improvements could be made to better the lives of Americans.
Really? Because big brands like Mc Donald’s, Starbucks and costa in the city of London pay around 7-9 pounds an hour and that’s depending on age. Personally having worked and lived in London my entire life, the minimum wage doesent meet up with the renting/living cost. I think what you said is obviously depending on the job and level but entry level the pay doesn't match.
@@chantelle129 i agree. Ppl need to do more research before polluting other people's minds on social media.
you guys should just take an example of Stockholm, Copenhagen and Oslo, a slice of pizza with a can of coke cost €10-15. but nonetheless everyone has a home here and almost everyone is financially and socially happy, part of the reason is the brilliant utilization of the tax which covers a lot of benefits the government offers here.
London also does a better job of managing their housing market and providing other services to its residents, such as public transportation, healthcare, and education.
Does everyone know that these Disneyland Employees ARENT Forced to work there?
Geniune question, why dont they leave thier disney job if they arent satisfied?
There goes my dream job

At least you're willing to see it's not for you instead of hiring in and whining about it. I respect that
risk it to be homeless because you should always follow your dreams :)

This a a great example of human exploitation. A slice of pizza at Disney cost more than what they get paid an hour. But yet they make them always have a smile on their face and treat everyone so well
And then after all that, most of the money goes in upkeep. How unfair.....
People often complain with what they don't know about

Accurate
We need as a country to have a conversation about Corporate Responsibility.

@shooter4hire shooter4hire CR is very important. It's not about the spending habits of their employees. It's about the fact that they aren't even close to matching the living wage and their employees cannot adequately supply a shelter over their heads with their wages.
@Coelophysis that's not the point. It's not living wherever you wanna live. The point is for the company to at least make an effort. No one mentioned a right. No one is entitled here. However, they should, as a company, try to match the minimum wage of that state. Most of the people that have tried to file a lawsuit do not get paid the minimum wage.
@@TheBrickMasterB Rather dead than red. I think a law should be added that decides the minimum wage based of the area you live in. For example in NY it can't be the same as in rural America.

Former Disneyland and Walt Disney World Cast Member here. I worked at Disneyland from 1999 to 2004 and at Magic Kingdom at WDW from 2004 to 2009. Back then my pay ranged from $9 to $11 an hour. I was able to keep a roof over my head. It wasn't great income, but I was able to make ends meet. Fast forward to 2018, was in between jobs and needed to get some money flowing. So went back to work at Disneyland for $13 an hour. Could barely make my car payment, not much money left for much after utilities. My income at Disney wasn't even paying the rent. Luckily I was offered a contract in my career field and left Disney after two months and was able to catch up on my living expenses. Another thing about Disneyland is that they don't start you Full Time. I barely got 25 hours a week at best. In Walt Disney World most hire in positions are Full Time, but even now, the pay isn't that great. How much the cost of living has gone up from 2009 to 2018, wages have not risen to compensate. It is ridiculous.
*THEN GET A BETTER JOB!!....Stop whining about Disney. If their pay is so bad then go work somewhere else. Your the one who made mistakes in life in the past that you couldn't find better jobs. So oh well*
@@dreamboy2053 but he did get a better job :/

@Eddie Bacon O h .
Can confirm. My friend works for Disneyland and along with her husband who also works there, both were full time to make ends meet. And now Disney is going to fire a large portion of their employees. I can’t remember the exact percentage the email from Disney stated, but it’s a large amount. 62%? Somewhere in that region.
My sister in law worked for Disney for 15 years, while working for Disney, she suffered a stoke. Disney’s insurance refused to cover ANY of her medical expenses from the stroke- Disney turned their backs on her. When she recovered they wouldn’t even rehire her under the disabled Americans act. We used to go to Disney every year for vacation, we spent a lot of money with this park, we refused to ever go back to this park!
"We just want to survive..."
That says it all. It is simply wrong and unconscionable that a company is making huge profits by screaming its employees out of a living wage

Only corporate greed allows this. Disney owns plenty of property. If you price the working class out of fantasy-like tourist destinations including New Orleans (which Disney has always wanted a piece of), there will be nobody that is or has become local to the area to serve that hospitality to the out-of-towners.
