Morale and trust within the Walt Disney World government has deteriorated since allies of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took it over earlier this year, according to many employees who have departed in recent months saying the governing district has been politicized and cronyism now permeates the organization.
More than 40 out of about 370 employees have left the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District since it was taken over in February, raising concerns that decades of institutional knowledge is departing with them, along with a reputation for a well-run government.
“When I first joined the District, I found an organization that strived to be the very best at serving our community, sought the very best employees and valued those employees above all else,” a former facilities manager with three years of experience said in an employee exit survey last week. “I find myself leaving a completely different District. A District that prioritizes politics above all else and will gladly sacrifice its employees, its community and its work if there’s an opportunity to score political points.”
I see them as my racist, homophobic uncles. At least uncle Disney is trying, even if it's not fully sincere, and since he found out I have gay friends coming for dinner, he's cut down on the homophobia and keeps his words in check, and smiles.
Uncle Ron is standing on the chair (to look taller) , yelling at my gay friend about how they're sinners and will all die in a tornado of hellfire, unless they repent and vote Republican.
