It all starts and ends with DEI. When they got rid of their actual talented creators, you know (WHITE MEN) All their problems started. Actual white men not these far left woke freaking losers that you see today in Hollywood. The very thing they detest, you know non woke white men, are the very thing they need to make money. As long as 90% of their creators are DEI and women they’re fucked. I guarantee you if you look up Disney writers and creators about 5 to 10% will be white men. You know the superior creators. Hey Disney, you want to fix your problems? Bring back white men.
Just goes to show how badly the company has been ran in the last few years and I don't blame upset shareholders and investors for taking the company to court, the fact that Iger's lackies were activity trying to ruin him shows that their attention wasn't where it should be, while I don't know if Pelts and his people getting seats on the board is the best solution but he'll likely Quieten the noise coming out of the company!!

Bob Iger on the other hand would fire 10%+ of Disney's workers and then give himself a fat bonus for "reducing" operational costs, he and everyone else at the top are responsible for the dump Disney's at, but god forbid if they actually accept the blame and do something about it.

That's the real distinction, and the most basic underlying factor behind the fall: Disney has hired and promoted waaay too many people who hate the nuclear family, don't have children, and who are not themselves happy, wholesome or positive in their outlooks or their lives. And I don't think those people are being targeted (enough) in the layoffs. But Disney cannot UN-abandon the family-oriented business brand they promoted for 90 years so easily. They won't get rid of the people who ruined Star Wars, A Wrinkle In Time, Pinnochio and others. They won't admit the mistakes made, time after time, in the "live action remakes" of all their animated classics. I mean, have they fired the person who insisted on "reimagining" their most popular park ride...apparently because it was too American or too white? No, too many of those people are still in place, and I get the impression these billions of dollars in losses and profits forgone have purchased ZERO lessons.
Its a matter of perspective, a less incompetent man could have kept the woke grift going forever but because Bob is so dumb all his decisions are blowing up at once exposing the folly in all its glory so in that respect he is absolutely the hero families needed because hes leading to a top down clean out of the company and a return to sanity in spite of what he actually wants to do.
Sold all of my Disney stock back when the "Don't say gay" stuff started. They obviously forgot what their brand used to stand for. Anytime a corporation forget they are the tail and not the dog, it's time to get out fast. It was clear they long forgotten who pays their paychecks.
The destruction of Splash Mountain is what did it for me. Splash mountain was one of the least offensive rides at Disney, but Disney is determined to wipe Song of the South from existence. Sensitivity readers have to continue to find offensive things, in order to keep their jobs. Disney's problem is that they listen to them. If Disney wants to pursue customers Portland, instead of 30 year Disney customers like me, fine - it's their company. My AP will no longer be renewed. I'm done with park reservations, boarding passes, and having to pre-plan everything 6 months out. I'm gone.
Unfortunately financial types are only obsessed with pleasing financial types. If it's not bad advice they listen, it's to prioritize borrowing or reducing costs, not improving relations with their customers
Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar can NEVER be what they once were… They may still all exist in some form of a brand, but all the magic from all four of them has been destroyed.
I think that, under a different company, after enough time, led by someone who actually gives a crap about the IP, the companies could recover. But I don't think that's very likely.
A good chunk of those were the animation/cartoon community. If they want animation to be taken seriously, well those guys aren't the best spokesman/women for it.
@@strategicperson95 You can say that again! Some of their recent behaviors, shilling, and biases are also why I stopped following the cartoon community. They made the anime community look a *lot* less cringy by comparison.
When you've ruined IP like Star Wars without learning anything, I don't think there is any chance of a comeback. They would have to fire all current writers, producers and hire the kind they used to have---the ones that made good stories, not message stories.
Yes indeed! Iger NEEDS to step down. Everything he bought (Muppets, Pixar, Marvel Entertainment, Lucasfilm, and 20th Century Fox) must no longer be owned by Disney. Theatrical traditional animation must be embraced again (and not outsourced). Woke pandering must stop. And the remakes must stop altogether.
Until corporatists are humbled and shamed for the mass destruction they have caused in these industries, they'll keep perpetuating it. How sad it is they have yet to learn from the past.

I sold like $30,000 worth of stock in Disney back in 2017 that I had accrued over my 23 years of life to that point (it started as stocks my grandmother bought me for my birthday and Christmas every year and continued as my savings when I was in the army). Anyway I did it because I was going into the real world and needed money, but boy I look like a genius in hindsight.
There are a few things to consider here: 1. The general strategy being followed by a lot of current corporations is simply that "Gen X" doesn't matter, the Zoomers matter. The idea is the losses now will pay off big after a massive, multi-generational, wealth transfer based on the idea that most of the good jobs and a lot of the wealth and property will pass to the Zoomers when the Baby Boomers die off in greater numbers. If nothing else the relatively low numbers of Generation X, and the fact that the Millennials became largely another "skip over" generation means that they want to be established as being on board with all of the weird socio-political stuff the Zoomers believe in from school indoctrination as that is the trend. This is of course a failing strategy as it overlooks the fact that youth almost never goes the way one predicts, as rebellion is the norm. Likewise it fails to realize that ideas like socialism and forced wealth re-distribution become a lot less appealing when it's your money and property they want to re-distribute. I also think what's really going to cause them to cause corporate america to really slam into those ice bergs is I think they seriously underestimated lifespan increases more than just failing to compute how what happened to Gen X largely happened to the Millennials. Gen X is now going to live longer than expected, and given certain attitudes and lack of performance, I think we're going to see most of that massive multi-generational wealth transfer, if it happens, fall to Gen X. I think it's simply because that's who they trust to act as custodians of a lot of this, and a lot of it is the eye rolling "Okay Boomer" stuff when they have no idea who they are talking to. I think the Zoomers are going to sort of land with a thud, or at least more than expected, for the simple reason that I don't think "Grandpa" is going to be looking on them favorably when it comes to taking over his estate or whatever, in cases where that matters. I know a couple of situations like this already where some actual Boomers in their low 70s passed, and the grandkids who are now hitting adult hood had been told they would be getting everything, and they didn't, in fact the wealth passed to Gen-Xers in the range of their parents, aunts, or uncles more like it traditionally would, but with provisions that the grand children didn't get anything when they passed unless their attitudes changed, and the money and property pass to the next generation down (their children) if they turned out to be more responsible. It might in a weird way be the last word of the alleged "lost generation" and that's largely who corporate America is taking a giant dump on. 2. Disney could easily be what it was supposed to be with a change of attitude, the point of the above is simply that it seems to be following a strategy that started a long time ago, and is thus having faith they will break the giant ice berg they are heading for, rather than it sinking the ship or knocking it off course. That's why guys like Mr. Peltz might be a good thing, as they seem to be aware of the problems despite their own activism. It seems less and less likely that "promised land" of deep pockets held by stupid Zoomers is not going to be there, beyond the economic realities that there just aren't massive numbers of people who can indulge in high end luxury products right now. A business that insists on catering to only a top tier clientele with deep pockets just cannot survive when that market goes away, 3. Disney and other corporations seem oblivious to the reality that as the cut costs and expensive workers to increase profits, they are destroying their own customer base. If one company does something like this in isolation it's oftentimes a wise move and doesn't cause any problems. If everyone does this, while also using AI market tracking software to raise prises to the max, soon they wind up with no one able to buy any of the products or services as all the people who had good jobs have been fired. This is a big part of why the economy is crashing, it's called "Greedflation", to work the system is one where everyone has to leave some money on the table and keep contributing to it so people can make that money, and they lost sight of that as everyone is grabbing for ALL the money at the same time. It's a pretty simple economic problem, and it can exist in all economies including heavily socialized ones, albeit in different forms. The Russian version for example would be all the officials exploiting the presumption of honesty and loyalty to pocket the funds needed to say buy and update weapons for their troops, China has this going on to a legendary level to. Thisis a big part of why the Russian army turned out to be such a joke in Ukraine as they never armed or trained their military the way they were supposed to and they tried to act like "the Great Russian Bear" when half their tanks didn't even have their anti-personnel systems reloaded properly after years old exercises since the ammorwas expensive and the money for it could be re-directed. To be brutally honest all of the corporations would make money just by all agreeing to keep a lot of those highly paid workers, perhaps in greater numbers than they strictly need. Sure they were making less profits than they liked, but if they all do this stuff, then there are people with the money to buy the goods and services, and as they pass this stuff around, and produce products to sell elsewhere the profits go up. The thing they need to focus on is less cutting costs to the bone, than developing competitive products people want, that is where the real profits always are, they don't come from just running an efficient assembly line for minimal cost. In reality bloat is in many cases a money maker, something a lot of bean counters don't realize as the luxuries and extra workers (so nobody has to work as hard) lead to things like better attitudes and higher morale. A good example would be to look at how many companies did things like cut security because "it doesn't seem to do anything, obviously it isn't needed at this level as they rarely catch anyone doing anything" they miss the point that they keep honest people honest, and when that goes away things like theft and grift increase as what is generally called "Company Shrink", and it rapidly grows beyond the cost of security, that is what it was keeping down, it doesn't have a direct payout, it's only visible in other numbers not being as high as they could be.
Using profits to help your employees is literally illegal for a corporation. This was decided by the Michigan Supreme Court in Dodge v. Ford in 1919. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_v._Ford_Motor_Co.
@@alexanderfreeman2480 Not exactly true. The context of that ruling (I've run into it before) was that Ford was saying he didn't care at all about investor profit and he was pretty much going to ignore his agreements with and promises to the investors and effectively give the money Ford was making to the workers one way or another and ignore the people who allowed him to build the company. The government basically rules that since he made agreements with the investors he was obligated to keep those agreements. None of that prevents a company from taking care of it's employees. After all hiring and maintaining the best people, keeping them in good shape, and having high morale can all make a company more competitive and more profitable. Actually a lot of other laws are meant to support exactly that. It only becomes a problem when someone like Mr. Ford tries to say he runs the company for the employees, and not the people who financed it and manages in a way where they will see little or no return on their investment. The current Corporate mentality is not based on that law, it's rather based on the idea that cutting as many corners as possible is a better alternative than taking the risks on innovating and producing a quality product. While the most money comes from having the best ideas and products, in general it always takes risk as you can never guarantee what is going to succeed, where cost cutting while milking what you have right now is reasonably safe. The problem is this kind of behavior is self destructive as it lowers employee productivity and morale, and creates a spiral where they produce less and less and increase their chances of going down forever. This is why so many companies die in a spiral of layoffs and misery before shuttering, many of them would have done better if they had taken any kind of risk outside of the pattern that wasn't working at all. The thing is typically the consumers will tell companies VERY specifically what they want from them, but corporations rarely deliver that as it means surrendering power. I mean look at it this way, fans have been very clear what they would want to see from things like say "Star Wars" or "Star Trek" and for a good number of years now. Yet the holders of those IPs absolutely refuse to do anything like that, as they feel that would be surrendering power to the customers and letting them dictate things, and they would rather see it all burn down than give up power. I mean with media in general, it should be pretty obvious right now that it takes an absolutely concerted effort for pretty much every corporate purchased IP to universally not do what the fans were asking for when they got it. If it wasn't deliberate you'd have expected them to at least have done it once or twice by accident and succeeded with something.
And so the circle is now complete… Iger’s legacy has been settled. Let his story be a reminder of why you do not get into politics, why you don’t take your audience for granted, why you don’t demonize more than half of the world and more importantly on why you do not hire activists.
I don't remember ANYONE celebrating Iger or thinking he could save Disney. What I do remember was people celebrating when he was replaced with the other Bob, but then disappointed and angry when Iger more or less sabotaged the other Bob and became CEO again.
@@Ability-King-KK I did, granted they were Disney shills, but they still celebrated Iger coming back. Some people even called him big Papa Iger, believe it or not.
Disney is doomed based on demographics. Only 48 million gen alpha kids from 2012- now? This generation is very small compared to the millennials and they like RUclips for media content. Golden era is over Disney will never be what is was
True, they think they are a family company when in reality they are a Disney adult company. They also need to stop trying to tick boxes for representation and start focusing on genuinely good characters who may happen to be diverse. Making Snow white black feels so forced and seems to only be to be a way to tick the diversity box instead of making a new character who is actually interesting and make sense in the story like Tiana. Who do they think they are making these stories for?
The problem: too much influence of one Latondra Newton, the former Disney Senior VP who was in charge of the _Reimagine Tomorrow_ diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) program from 2017 to just recently. She's created a mess that could take two to three years to clean up.
To be fair, five years ago, everybody was saying that you must become a tech company because that's the future, and all the other 'legacy companies' are going to die. Now, it seems that the legacy models do have some validity after all.
no it was Michael Eisner from 1984-2005.....think about all the 90s and early 2000 shows, movies and animation that came out....Disney was at it's best.
@@UniqueBreakfastTaco He was a patriot who honored American values and history, and hated communism. To activists, that makes him akin to Hitler, and his legacy must be destroyed and forgotten.
I brought 9 food items. 3 Rotisserie Chickens, 4 bags of onions 2 bags of popcorn and they were $62. Food prices are insane. Silliest thing I've never been to Disney every and I am almost 65 years old. I used to like and go see all the Disney movies but now Disney movies are all a dumpster fires.
At this point it is good if Disney goes down, a lot of work can finally go to public domain. While a few already in public domain no one want to risk it as even if you are 100% right fighting a legal battle is costly.
Walt was a hard anti comunist odds are when he saw what they'd done with his name he'd drug em release in in the utility tunnels bellow dosney world and stalk them in the darkness one by one untill the company was cleansed.
There's a lot of painful fat-trimming that needs to be done, but they have a LOT of valuable properties, as long as they get creatives who respect the material and the core fans.

@barrybend7189 - "Bob Iger had no magic at all". --- I disagree. Iger pulled off an amazing feat of magic when he made billions of investor dollars disappear, just like magic. That's a trick very few CEOs could pull off. How does he do it ?
Iger never really left... He was still on the board directing operations... and he purposely sabotaged Chapek when Chapek tried to course correct. The best thing that could happen is if Disney completely collapses and is purchased by another company.
I always refer to people like Iger and the Disney board as chauffeurs; they can drive a car that already runs from point a to point b, but that’s all they’re capable of… run out of gas, gotta call someone else, car accident, call someone else, flat tire, call someone else, skid off the road , call someone else, passenger is having a heart attack, gotta call someone else. Chauffeurs can keep it between the lines but anytime something arises that pushes you off the manicured path they have to call people who can solve real problems.
Sony didn't single handedly destroy the American public domain because they're a Japanese company... unlike Disney who built his empire from public domain and he made sure to fuck it for everyone else... also fucked the copyright system. Destroyed countless lives treating their actors like complete garbage since the 1950s
I don't think anyone could save Disney now, it was a semi-miracle when Eisner did it 40 years ago and the company's in an even worse state now. There's too many parts to the company that need to be fixed.
There are so many rivals, alternative media and independents you can't keep up with all the content that's on offer, My feelings for Disney are whatever!?! they don't care about us, they don't even care about their share holders.
If Disney had bought Tubi, we wouldn't be able to watch free movies because they woulda greedily blocked us behind a pay-wall and given the crap they pulled with that Disney+ crap, I say screw them. They ain't getting my money.
Peltz is coming and Iger cant stop him this time. 1 or more seats and Iger's butt in the ignited naplam infused seat! When it goes down its going to be glorious to watch. Im thinking of putting real money on the disney board telling him outright no, shares or no shares, and to go biff it in the corner like a good old man rather than allow a man who wants profits not politics in and from movies.
I dont understand why anyone expected anything from Iger, he was a narcissist weatherman who lucked into a position he had no capacity for and lucked out further being in place during the easiest time in the companies history but now all of his idiotic decisions are bearing fruit.
I think Bob Iger's plan was to save money by laying off all the "problematic" people, who actually knew how to make good content. And then as they passed their IPs to the remaining people, they've been just been burning the company to the ground.
I'm still amazed at the sheer incompetence in Iger's decision to undermine Chapek then return as CEO. The ship was already sitting low in the water, mostly thanks to Iger, yet he could have left Chapek to deal with it.
In the past, I said that by the end of it Disney would lose the IPs they bought and just be a cruise/theme park company selling merchandise of what few in-house creations they have. But now? I don't know if they'll even salvage enough of themselves to do that. I think Disney is well on its way to becoming KMart. Just completely and utterly wiped out within every division. They saw the big conglomerates in cartoons and wanted to be like them. They wanted to be one of those big companies that are into everything and could smack their logo onto a pack of gum and sell it for thirty bucks a pack. But the tides have turned on Mickey and friends and became a deadly monsoon. Consumers are over them, investors are asking hard questions and even the authorities are starting to breath down Disney's neck. I don't predict DreamWorks having any competition from them moving forward - even with their own layoffs. Losers.
Of course Iger can't save Disney, he won't do what must be done. He had every opportunity to nip the activism in the bud and stick to business, but he's not capable of that.
7:10 - Kneon "You're going to bring Iger back and trust him to run the company? Really?" --- The question is - who is this "you" that brought Iger back to run the company ? The answer is the only people capable of bringing Iger back - the Disney Board of Directors. The same Board that can fire Iger at any time. The Disney Board LIKES Iger - otherwise, Iger would be gone. To the Disney Board, the message is more important than profit. A hostile takeover and the ouster of the entire Disney Board is the only way Disney can survive at this point. Iger is a puppet, the public face of the woke Disney Board.
The amount of backlash for not liking Disney Star wars was ridiculous Also the fact that they were originally going to do a Star wars area of the Disney parks and make it original trilogy and then did not go through with that that is One of the biggest mistakes as far as the parks go in my opinion

I'm done with park reservations, boarding passes, and having to pre-plan everything 6 months out. I'm gone.

Unfortunately financial types are only obsessed with pleasing financial types. If it's not bad advice they listen, it's to prioritize borrowing or reducing costs, not improving relations with their customers
It's up to consumers, and they still continue to consume
You shouldn't have been paying for Disney Plus to begin with. Bootleg them if you have to watch it
Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, and Pixar can NEVER be what they once were…
They may still all exist in some form of a brand, but all the magic from all four of them has been destroyed.
I think that, under a different company, after enough time, led by someone who actually gives a crap about the IP, the companies could recover. But I don't think that's very likely.
Anyone who thought Iger could save Disney is delusional
Disney fans are delusional
A good chunk of those were the animation/cartoon community.
If they want animation to be taken seriously, well those guys aren't the best spokesman/women for it.
At first, I thought he was gonna make things better, but then I realized he's only making things worse.
@@strategicperson95 You can say that again!
Some of their recent behaviors, shilling, and biases are also why I stopped following the cartoon community. They made the anime community look a *lot* less cringy by comparison.
@@strategicperson95ok
When you've ruined IP like Star Wars without learning anything, I don't think there is any chance of a comeback. They would have to fire all current writers, producers and hire the kind they used to have---the ones that made good stories, not message stories.
Yes indeed! Iger NEEDS to step down.
Everything he bought (Muppets, Pixar, Marvel Entertainment, Lucasfilm, and 20th Century Fox) must no longer be owned by Disney.
Theatrical traditional animation must be embraced again (and not outsourced).
Woke pandering must stop.
And the remakes must stop altogether.
This! Every. Single. Point.
Disney as a company is getting everything they have coming to them from the amount of damage to pop culture they've caused since the 1950s
Also don't fire your talent and replace them with activists. Fire the activists.
Until corporatists are humbled and shamed for the mass destruction they have caused in these industries, they'll keep perpetuating it. How sad it is they have yet to learn from the past.
@@CRIMI0N(((activists)))
Not many companies are as Hated as Disney is! Which is truly amazing considering that most of the Haters loved it when they were children.
Only if you were lied to as a child about Disney
@@fillerbunnyninjashark271 - Depends upon your age. Once upon a time, Disney was actually Pro-Family. Now its a Freak fest.

Hubris!
"Bob Iger Can't Save Disney"
Can't really save something that you yourself ruined in the first place.
Grima Wormtongue promises to save kingdom of Rohan from mostly peaceful Uruk summer of love following tragic death of King Theodin, exiled prince's warmongering held responsible.
I sold like $30,000 worth of stock in Disney back in 2017 that I had accrued over my 23 years of life to that point (it started as stocks my grandmother bought me for my birthday and Christmas every year and continued as my savings when I was in the army). Anyway I did it because I was going into the real world and needed money, but boy I look like a genius in hindsight.
You lucked out big time, I think.
if you could have just waited 2 more years You'd have made out even better. but you still made off better than if you kept it until current year.
I can’t sell mine now, it’s too low! LOL!!!
I already knew this. But all I hope is that Disney does stop being political and stop pandering and virtue signaling to the Tumblr crowd.
There are a few things to consider here:
1. The general strategy being followed by a lot of current corporations is simply that "Gen X" doesn't matter, the Zoomers matter. The idea is the losses now will pay off big after a massive, multi-generational, wealth transfer based on the idea that most of the good jobs and a lot of the wealth and property will pass to the Zoomers when the Baby Boomers die off in greater numbers. If nothing else the relatively low numbers of Generation X, and the fact that the Millennials became largely another "skip over" generation means that they want to be established as being on board with all of the weird socio-political stuff the Zoomers believe in from school indoctrination as that is the trend.
This is of course a failing strategy as it overlooks the fact that youth almost never goes the way one predicts, as rebellion is the norm. Likewise it fails to realize that ideas like socialism and forced wealth re-distribution become a lot less appealing when it's your money and property they want to re-distribute.
I also think what's really going to cause them to cause corporate america to really slam into those ice bergs is I think they seriously underestimated lifespan increases more than just failing to compute how what happened to Gen X largely happened to the Millennials. Gen X is now going to live longer than expected, and given certain attitudes and lack of performance, I think we're going to see most of that massive multi-generational wealth transfer, if it happens, fall to Gen X. I think it's simply because that's who they trust to act as custodians of a lot of this, and a lot of it is the eye rolling "Okay Boomer" stuff when they have no idea who they are talking to. I think the Zoomers are going to sort of land with a thud, or at least more than expected, for the simple reason that I don't think "Grandpa" is going to be looking on them favorably when it comes to taking over his estate or whatever, in cases where that matters. I know a couple of situations like this already where some actual Boomers in their low 70s passed, and the grandkids who are now hitting adult hood had been told they would be getting everything, and they didn't, in fact the wealth passed to Gen-Xers in the range of their parents, aunts, or uncles more like it traditionally would, but with provisions that the grand children didn't get anything when they passed unless their attitudes changed, and the money and property pass to the next generation down (their children) if they turned out to be more responsible. It might in a weird way be the last word of the alleged "lost generation" and that's largely who corporate America is taking a giant dump on.
2. Disney could easily be what it was supposed to be with a change of attitude, the point of the above is simply that it seems to be following a strategy that started a long time ago, and is thus having faith they will break the giant ice berg they are heading for, rather than it sinking the ship or knocking it off course. That's why guys like Mr. Peltz might be a good thing, as they seem to be aware of the problems despite their own activism. It seems less and less likely that "promised land" of deep pockets held by stupid Zoomers is not going to be there, beyond the economic realities that there just aren't massive numbers of people who can indulge in high end luxury products right now. A business that insists on catering to only a top tier clientele with deep pockets just cannot survive when that market goes away,
3. Disney and other corporations seem oblivious to the reality that as the cut costs and expensive workers to increase profits, they are destroying their own customer base. If one company does something like this in isolation it's oftentimes a wise move and doesn't cause any problems. If everyone does this, while also using AI market tracking software to raise prises to the max, soon they wind up with no one able to buy any of the products or services as all the people who had good jobs have been fired. This is a big part of why the economy is crashing, it's called "Greedflation", to work the system is one where everyone has to leave some money on the table and keep contributing to it so people can make that money, and they lost sight of that as everyone is grabbing for ALL the money at the same time. It's a pretty simple economic problem, and it can exist in all economies including heavily socialized ones, albeit in different forms. The Russian version for example would be all the officials exploiting the presumption of honesty and loyalty to pocket the funds needed to say buy and update weapons for their troops, China has this going on to a legendary level to. Thisis a big part of why the Russian army turned out to be such a joke in Ukraine as they never armed or trained their military the way they were supposed to and they tried to act like "the Great Russian Bear" when half their tanks didn't even have their anti-personnel systems reloaded properly after years old exercises since the ammorwas expensive and the money for it could be re-directed.
To be brutally honest all of the corporations would make money just by all agreeing to keep a lot of those highly paid workers, perhaps in greater numbers than they strictly need. Sure they were making less profits than they liked, but if they all do this stuff, then there are people with the money to buy the goods and services, and as they pass this stuff around, and produce products to sell elsewhere the profits go up. The thing they need to focus on is less cutting costs to the bone, than developing competitive products people want, that is where the real profits always are, they don't come from just running an efficient assembly line for minimal cost. In reality bloat is in many cases a money maker, something a lot of bean counters don't realize as the luxuries and extra workers (so nobody has to work as hard) lead to things like better attitudes and higher morale. A good example would be to look at how many companies did things like cut security because "it doesn't seem to do anything, obviously it isn't needed at this level as they rarely catch anyone doing anything" they miss the point that they keep honest people honest, and when that goes away things like theft and grift increase as what is generally called "Company Shrink", and it rapidly grows beyond the cost of security, that is what it was keeping down, it doesn't have a direct payout, it's only visible in other numbers not being as high as they could be.
Nicely thought out essay on current reality. 👍
Good points
I dont expect an essay level kinda comment but Good observation and writing A+ for you
Using profits to help your employees is literally illegal for a corporation. This was decided by the Michigan Supreme Court in Dodge v. Ford in 1919. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_v._Ford_Motor_Co.
@@alexanderfreeman2480
Not exactly true. The context of that ruling (I've run into it before) was that Ford was saying he didn't care at all about investor profit and he was pretty much going to ignore his agreements with and promises to the investors and effectively give the money Ford was making to the workers one way or another and ignore the people who allowed him to build the company. The government basically rules that since he made agreements with the investors he was obligated to keep those agreements.
None of that prevents a company from taking care of it's employees. After all hiring and maintaining the best people, keeping them in good shape, and having high morale can all make a company more competitive and more profitable. Actually a lot of other laws are meant to support exactly that. It only becomes a problem when someone like Mr. Ford tries to say he runs the company for the employees, and not the people who financed it and manages in a way where they will see little or no return on their investment.
The current Corporate mentality is not based on that law, it's rather based on the idea that cutting as many corners as possible is a better alternative than taking the risks on innovating and producing a quality product. While the most money comes from having the best ideas and products, in general it always takes risk as you can never guarantee what is going to succeed, where cost cutting while milking what you have right now is reasonably safe. The problem is this kind of behavior is self destructive as it lowers employee productivity and morale, and creates a spiral where they produce less and less and increase their chances of going down forever. This is why so many companies die in a spiral of layoffs and misery before shuttering, many of them would have done better if they had taken any kind of risk outside of the pattern that wasn't working at all. The thing is typically the consumers will tell companies VERY specifically what they want from them, but corporations rarely deliver that as it means surrendering power.
I mean look at it this way, fans have been very clear what they would want to see from things like say "Star Wars" or "Star Trek" and for a good number of years now. Yet the holders of those IPs absolutely refuse to do anything like that, as they feel that would be surrendering power to the customers and letting them dictate things, and they would rather see it all burn down than give up power. I mean with media in general, it should be pretty obvious right now that it takes an absolutely concerted effort for pretty much every corporate purchased IP to universally not do what the fans were asking for when they got it. If it wasn't deliberate you'd have expected them to at least have done it once or twice by accident and succeeded with something.
And so the circle is now complete… Iger’s legacy has been settled. Let his story be a reminder of why you do not get into politics, why you don’t take your audience for granted, why you don’t demonize more than half of the world and more importantly on why you do not hire activists.
You need to do more research into Disney. They've destroyed pop culture in the 1950s by completely fucking over public domain and the copyright system
Stock holders should sue the Board and Bob iger For the financial damage they did for his political career.
Everyone celebrated iger thinking he'll save Disney. When in reality, he made it worse
I don't remember ANYONE celebrating Iger or thinking he could save Disney. What I do remember was people celebrating when he was replaced with the other Bob, but then disappointed and angry when Iger more or less sabotaged the other Bob and became CEO again.
@@Ability-King-KK I did, granted they were Disney shills, but they still celebrated Iger coming back. Some people even called him big Papa Iger, believe it or not.
Disney is doomed based on demographics. Only 48 million gen alpha kids from 2012- now? This generation is very small compared to the millennials and they like RUclips for media content. Golden era is over Disney will never be what is was
Good point.
True, they think they are a family company when in reality they are a Disney adult company. They also need to stop trying to tick boxes for representation and start focusing on genuinely good characters who may happen to be diverse. Making Snow white black feels so forced and seems to only be to be a way to tick the diversity box instead of making a new character who is actually interesting and make sense in the story like Tiana. Who do they think they are making these stories for?
The problem: too much influence of one Latondra Newton, the former Disney Senior VP who was in charge of the _Reimagine Tomorrow_ diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) program from 2017 to just recently. She's created a mess that could take two to three years to clean up.
hahahaha 'reimagine tomorrow' they couldn't even reimagine the next two years!
To be fair, five years ago, everybody was saying that you must become a tech company because that's the future, and all the other 'legacy companies' are going to die. Now, it seems that the legacy models do have some validity after all.
He was never trying to save it. He was the captain of the Titanic going in for a closer look at that iceberg.
Walt Disney was the best CEO Disney ever had.
no it was Michael Eisner from 1984-2005.....think about all the 90s and early 2000 shows, movies and animation that came out....Disney was at it's best.
@@lovelivelaugh4542 Without Walt, there'd be no Walt Disney Company. No movies, theme parks, IP, etc, for Eisner to manage.
Watch his congressional testimony. He hit the nail on the head.
@@UniqueBreakfastTaco He was a patriot who honored American values and history, and hated communism. To activists, that makes him akin to Hitler, and his legacy must be destroyed and forgotten.
@@lovelivelaugh4542 he's not perfect though as some of problems with Disney are part plagued by some of his decision making.
Everytime Disney tries getting themselves into Trouble, it continues to get crazier every single time
Even if Peltz gets everything he wants right now, it will be years before things turn around.
Truth. He's going to have to fire a lot of crybabies first.
Disney went from a place of family entertainment that has been reduced to a cesspool and it all starts with the people at the top.
At this point no one can even if they somehow get the technology to bring back Walt Disney himself
I think Michael Eisner was probably the best CEO Disney ever had.
He actually cared about the fans.
His Heavyweights cameo always made me laugh
Even though he was not perfect, Eisner still understood the importance of creativity and originality.
I agree.........whoever he is
Thank the late Roy E Disney for forcing him out & putting Iger in place instead.
I brought 9 food items. 3 Rotisserie Chickens, 4 bags of onions 2 bags of popcorn and they were $62. Food prices are insane. Silliest thing I've never been to Disney every and I am almost 65 years old. I used to like and go see all the Disney movies but now Disney movies are all a dumpster fires.
Dumpster fires are more interesting to watch than whatever Disney puts out.
@@kosmosXcannon You are so right.
Forget Asoka. They need to turn this whole drama into a TV show!
Sometimes it's not about saving anything.
Sometimes it's about letting it die so we can build something better.
You think what comes next would be better?
@@erikhermansen3431Not many companies last as long as Disney. Death is a part of life as it is for companies.

At this point it is good if Disney goes down, a lot of work can finally go to public domain. While a few already in public domain no one want to risk it as even if you are 100% right fighting a legal battle is costly.
Let's bring back the guy who ran the company into the ground with his bad decisions? I sometimes wonder if the Disney Board's on something!
they're on something alright.
Igers payroll lol
Disney can be saved. All they need to do is gather the 7 Dragon Balls and bring back Walt.
😂😂😂😅dragon ball.
Wrong universe, but I entirely agree with you!
😄😅😂😆🤣
Walt was a hard anti comunist odds are when he saw what they'd done with his name he'd drug em release in in the utility tunnels bellow dosney world and stalk them in the darkness one by one untill the company was cleansed.
Dont give them ideas. They still own the rights to make live action dragon ball movies.
@@mamodokod dude last time they did that, the fan backlash was so bad that they all apologized for it.
There's a lot of painful fat-trimming that needs to be done, but they have a LOT of valuable properties, as long as they get creatives who respect the material and the core fans.
People who respected the material wouldn't make it oast the HR screening process, they only take gradutes from the commisariate.
If we could get past ESG, DIE, and "the message " and get back to imaginative ENTERTAINING stories.
Disney became what they were scared to become back in the 80s before Eisner.
"Thanks for the fish!"
*leaves*
Time to defrost Walt. Like seriously 😂
I thought him turning in his grave was the only thing keeping Disney going
@Xaforn - Perpetual Motion = Walt turning in his grave!
If I've learned anything from anime, it's that owning 51% of the stock means you have maximum power!
I really have to thank Clownfish. I’ve made sooo much money shorting this stock with puts.
Thanks guys
Asking Iger to save Disney is like asking an arsonist to put out a fire.
Or a pyromaniac......

Saving Disney would UNDUE ALL OF Bob's hard work destroying it.
Bob Iger DOESN'T want to save Disney...
Why would any call upon the Necromancer to save the ruined kingdom when it was the Necromancer who ruined it in the first place?
This is what happens when a company is run by people that don't care about what's best for the company.
Bob Iger had no magic at all.
Of course he didn't. He thought everything Disney stood for was beneath him.
@barrybend7189 - "Bob Iger had no magic at all". --- I disagree. Iger pulled off an amazing feat of magic when he made billions of investor dollars disappear, just like magic. That's a trick very few CEOs could pull off. How does he do it ?
A mop with a coconut taped to it would be a better CEO than Iger.
So Investor Place tells you to buy when the price is going down and to sell when is going up
Bob Iger, pulling a Plucky from Tiny Tunes: "Disney stock go down the hole..."
Considering how badly Iger has managed his own affairs, let alone Disneys, one had to wonder how he became as successful as he did.
Too bad Bob is too arrogant to see he cant save it....his hubris is bringing down the kingdom but his pride wont let him acknowledge it....
I'm not happy Bob
Not...happy
There is nothing worth saving.
I’m thinking about buying some Disney stock in the low $80s. Does it have more downside?
Iger never really left... He was still on the board directing operations... and he purposely sabotaged Chapek when Chapek tried to course correct. The best thing that could happen is if Disney completely collapses and is purchased by another company.
He took four of the biggest, most profitable studios and drove them into the ground.
What was the other 2? I only know of Marvel and Star Wars.
@@kosmosXcannonMiramax and Touchstone ... i think
I’m honestly mixed about Eisner but good lord! I know he wouldn’t have angered half the country or have lost the Reedy Creak deal.
I always refer to people like Iger and the Disney board as chauffeurs; they can drive a car that already runs from point a to point b, but that’s all they’re capable of… run out of gas, gotta call someone else, car accident, call someone else, flat tire, call someone else, skid off the road , call someone else, passenger is having a heart attack, gotta call someone else. Chauffeurs can keep it between the lines but anytime something arises that pushes you off the manicured path they have to call people who can solve real problems.
Considering what needs to be done, it would be like a fish trying to walk.
The entire company has gone poof on Bob Iger's watch. By the other definition, that is. 🤨
Actually Mr. Peltz has Five-Fold the amount of personal Disney stock then he held in February of this year. So yes, he is the big wheel now.
Geeky's 360 joke had me laughing out loud at 6 am scaring my cats!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He was never meant to, he just came back to sell off the dying husk.
As British slang ...... “Stock went Poof”..... is all too true....... this stuff writes itself.
Bless you Clownfish TV.😂
Of course he can't. Putting Iger back in was just throwing another log on the fire.
Disney doesn't deserve to be saved.
Sony never deserves to be saved either.
Sony didn't single handedly destroy the American public domain because they're a Japanese company... unlike Disney who built his empire from public domain and he made sure to fuck it for everyone else... also fucked the copyright system. Destroyed countless lives treating their actors like complete garbage since the 1950s
"I don't deserve to die like this..."- sheriff Bill Dagget
"Deserve's got nothin to do with it..."- William Munny- 'Unforgiven'
It would be ironic if the person who broke Disney could fix it... Wouldn't it? Because, yeah, that's Iger, the breaker.
I don't think anyone could save Disney now, it was a semi-miracle when Eisner did it 40 years ago and the company's in an even worse state now. There's too many parts to the company that need to be fixed.
There are so many rivals, alternative media and independents you can't keep up with all the content that's on offer, My feelings for Disney are whatever!?! they don't care about us, they don't even care about their share holders.
What a silly headline. As if a malignant tumor would undergo chemotherapy without complaint.
This is going to be a painful crash.
If Disney had bought Tubi, we wouldn't be able to watch free movies because they woulda greedily blocked us behind a pay-wall and given the crap they pulled with that Disney+ crap, I say screw them. They ain't getting my money.
Just want to say that the thumbnail for this one is absolutely amazing ahahaha
I hope Nelson Peltz gets his hand on Disney so he can sell all their Assets like Marvel, Lucasfilm, Pixar and Fox
Peltz is coming and Iger cant stop him this time. 1 or more seats and Iger's butt in the ignited naplam infused seat! When it goes down its going to be glorious to watch.
Im thinking of putting real money on the disney board telling him outright no, shares or no shares, and to go biff it in the corner like a good old man rather than allow a man who wants profits not politics in and from movies.
I dont understand why anyone expected anything from Iger, he was a narcissist weatherman who lucked into a position he had no capacity for and lucked out further being in place during the easiest time in the companies history but now all of his idiotic decisions are bearing fruit.
I just saw people seriously debating about if Disney would buy EA Sports... smh
It's not debating, Disney is dumb enough to consume another organization. 🥴
I think Bob Iger's plan was to save money by laying off all the "problematic" people, who actually knew how to make good content.
And then as they passed their IPs to the remaining people, they've been just been burning the company to the ground.
Bob Iger is not the Magican. Because if Nelson Peltz has his way Bob will wind up being the Prop for Peltz's Magic Trick.
Bob Iger "we are sorry we offended half of you, give us a year to readdress" there fixed it for you
remember when Disneyland tickets were $20 and almost $2 a day for season passes
Nobody can at this point
I'm still amazed at the sheer incompetence in Iger's decision to undermine Chapek then return as CEO. The ship was already sitting low in the water, mostly thanks to Iger, yet he could have left Chapek to deal with it.
Of course he can't 'cause he started this whole mess in the first place. 🤷♀
If they tell you to sell your Disney shares, the price will plummet, because noone wants to be left holding the bucket of tosh!
Disney should take a page from Thor: Ragnarok and let Nelson Peltz burn it to oblivion.
In the past, I said that by the end of it Disney would lose the IPs they bought and just be a cruise/theme park company selling merchandise of what few in-house creations they have.
But now? I don't know if they'll even salvage enough of themselves to do that. I think Disney is well on its way to becoming KMart. Just completely and utterly wiped out within every division. They saw the big conglomerates in cartoons and wanted to be like them. They wanted to be one of those big companies that are into everything and could smack their logo onto a pack of gum and sell it for thirty bucks a pack. But the tides have turned on Mickey and friends and became a deadly monsoon.
Consumers are over them, investors are asking hard questions and even the authorities are starting to breath down Disney's neck. I don't predict DreamWorks having any competition from them moving forward - even with their own layoffs. Losers.
Of course Iger can't save Disney, he won't do what must be done. He had every opportunity to nip the activism in the bud and stick to business, but he's not capable of that.
Poor Iger gonna get his ass handed to him in a very nice ceremony
7:10 - Kneon "You're going to bring Iger back and trust him to run the company? Really?" --- The question is - who is this "you" that brought Iger back to run the company ? The answer is the only people capable of bringing Iger back - the Disney Board of Directors. The same Board that can fire Iger at any time. The Disney Board LIKES Iger - otherwise, Iger would be gone. To the Disney Board, the message is more important than profit. A hostile takeover and the ouster of the entire Disney Board is the only way Disney can survive at this point. Iger is a puppet, the public face of the woke Disney Board.
The amount of backlash for not liking Disney Star wars was ridiculous Also the fact that they were originally going to do a Star wars area of the Disney parks and make it original trilogy and then did not go through with that that is One of the biggest mistakes as far as the parks go in my opinion
I was not aware that Bob had magic to being with!!! I have spoken!!!
I think anybody could have told you that after the first disaster he made that he was not in there to save it
Just wanted to say the video's icon is probably the best I've seen, ever!
I just canceled my Disney subscription after having it for awhile and realizing I haven’t I watched anything on it since Shang-Chi
Why focus on Iger when the main problem is their board of directors? Iger is not pulling the strings. He's a willing stooge.
