Woke Disney Employees Can’t Stand the Office, Fight to Avoid Coming in Only FOUR Days a Week

After millions of Americans returned to the office following the Coronavirus Pandemic, the employees over at the Walt Disney Company have continued to work from home and are fighting CEO Bob Iger’s attempts to force them back into the office.

More than 2,300 employees of the entertainment giant have signed a petition demanding that Iger reassess his decision arguing that the move would likely “have unintended consequences that cause long-term harm to the company.”

The petition is signed by employees from across Disney’s large corporate catalog including ABC, 20th Century Studios, Marvel Studios, Hulu, Pixar, FX, and others, according to the Washington Post.

The employees argue that the mandate forcing them into the office four days a week would bring “forced resignations among some of our most hard-to-replace talent and vulnerable communities” while “dramatically reducing productivity, output, and efficiency.”

Despite the Disney employees only being made to work four out of the five workdays a week in the office, they wrote that the policy would “slow, or even reverse, our post-COVID recovery and growth by creating critical resource shortages and causing irreplaceable institutional knowledge loss,”

The petition comes after Iger ordered his employees to return back to the office back in January via an email obtained by Fox Business.

“As you’ve heard me say many times, creativity is the heart and soul of who we are and what we do at Disney,” Iger stated. “And in a creative business like ours, nothing can replace the ability to connect, observe, and create with peers that come from being physically together, nor the opportunity to grow professionally by learning from leaders and mentors.”

The CEO continued by explaining that “working together more in person will benefit the Company’s creativity, culture, and our employees’ careers.”

While Iger has emphasized the potential benefits of going back into the office, one unnamed Disney employee told the Post that working from home provides flexibility for workers: “I think everyone has adjusted really well to the flexibility at Disney that was rolled out during the pandemic. For that to all go away suddenly was really scary for a lot of people.”

Disney continues to attempt to recover from their financial slump over the past year as their stock price dropped from a high of $197 back in March 2021 to now a near-record low of around $100, Iger is trying everything he can to make workers productive again. His efforts, however, seem to be getting roadblocked by a few thousand entitled millennials.
