Conservative Disney employees detail in letter intimidation, alienating work environments from colleagues on the left.
QUICK FACTS:
- In an open letter published Monday, anonymous Walt Disney employees complained about the exclusive and dysfunctional workplace environment for those who do not agree with their “political agenda,” The Blaze reported.
- The letter expressed that Disney has “come to be an increasingly uncomfortable place to work for those of us whose political and religious views are not explicitly progressive.”
- “Those of us who don’t align with this vision keep our heads down and do our work without bringing our personal beliefs into the workplace. We’ve done this without complaint because we don’t want to rock the boat, but the boat is being rocked, and our leadership seems compelled to reward those who are rocking it,” the letter went on to say.
CONSERVATIVE DISNEY EMPLOYEES ON THE COMPANY’S POLITICAL AGENDA:
“Employees who want TWDC to make left-wing political statements are encouraged, while those of us who want the company to remain neutral can say so only in a whisper out of fear of professional retaliation.”
BACKGROUND:
- The letter comes following the debate around the new “Parental Rights in Education Bill” introduced in Florida last month.
- A group of Disney employees on the left also published a letter, saying that the bill negatively impacted “all members of the LGBTQIA+ community in the company and beyond.”
- Disney has supported these employees and listed the many initiatives it had supported in the past, including the Equality Act, and noted its previous statements against various state laws that were being portrayed as homophobic or transphobic.
