That's good.

A CEO's salary does very little compared to stock options and things like that. It's a nice PR thing, but it doesn't actually do much.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

*Papenbrook* · 03-31-2020, 04:41 PM

Oh ...

Well, I hope that the workers will get treated fairly. ( Though, knowing how most companies operate, they probably won't. )

And he's back.

I'm sure he got a ton of money for it but at the same time he's already beyond rich and this will only taint his legacy, I wouldn't have done it. Same with Reggie going to Gamestop, like no matter how big the pay check is, if you're that rich and have a great legacy, why ruin it?

Supposedly he did it, because, due to the pandemic Disney is in financial trouble or might end up in them. So they wanted someone with leading experience to fix potential mess.

*sdp* · 04-14-2020, 12:02 PM

I don't think there's a question as to why he was asked to return, but I don't see how he can fix things at this moment. It'll only tarnish what he has accomplished since right now we'll see the after math of not only covid19 but marvel fatigue, star wars fatigue etc. I don't see how he will be able to fix that. He left on top, I think he made very smart decisions, this was not one of them

*Papenbrook* · 04-20-2020, 08:04 AM

And ... they've just furloughed 100,000 of their employees.

I spoke too soon.

*Andrew NDB* · 11-20-2022, 09:33 PM

He's back! For two years. As a result of poor Disney performances:

No. He was part of the problem to begin with. If anything, there's going to be a new level of woke like you've never seen before.

Pretty much, sadly. Just a better smile.

Iger might sell Disney to Apple! wtf...

So is the guy that got fired the "woke guy" or the "anti-woke guy"?

~~AquaParade~~ · 11-23-2022, 08:03 PM

He’s the fall guy.

But I don’t think he was woke. He initially tried to stay out of the Florida controversy, but his own employees undermined him for not taking a stance. So, he took a stance and got Republicans completely heated at him.

He tried to stay out of the politics and found out he couldn’t.

Many people are celebrating Iger’s return but it was mostly his work that got Disney in the position they are in now.

*Andrew NDB* · 11-24-2022, 03:55 AM

Yeah. That's about right. These guys are somewhat clones of one another in terms of vision. Maybe one talks better or handles pressure somewhat better, or maybe one is willing to make harder calls than the other, but it's the same thing by another name. It SEEMS. Neither of these guys have ever seemed particularly humanized by standards that we can understand or see.

The only story I see that seems to be true that speaks to that is that when the Spider-Man rights were for sure going back to Sony and there wasn't going to be a renewal, Tom Holland called Iger drunk and somehow convinced him to play ball with Sony on things. And he did. And we got No Way Home and some other as yet appearances.

*IMJ* · 11-24-2022, 10:39 AM

Well either way it's fine. These people will always cloud the truth with any variable they can to suit their agenda.

And so, if you get rid of one of two figureheads, and things stay woke and don't make the money in ratios they projected, then you have no choice but to admit the truth. So whichever Bob they have left won't matter.

This is what I've been hearing. We are going to see more of this. Monopolies are going to be a big thing and then in the end, you will probably have two companies that own everything. United States government and the CCP.

*LeotheLateBloomer* · 11-24-2022, 02:38 PM

Disney of all companies being sold sounds like an early April Fools joke.

It seems that Chapek tried to hide the financial losses of Disney Plus streaming service.

~~TurtleManiac~~ · 02-08-2023, 05:39 PM

Is this real? This Disney+ clip of the Proud Family talking about slavery and reparations has been circulating. Even on a kids show, everything has to be woke and politicized these days.
