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.”
If the christo-fascists were able to take over, this country would crash overnight. Whether they want to admit it or not, secular educated scientists, engineers etc create the wealth of this country. You cannot believe in fairy tales and be a world leader.
It’s the same story over and over. Any government that prioritizes loyalty over competency will find themselves ruling over a disaster. It doesn’t even really matter what the pet ideas are.
It is just better for everyone to hire and support the people who are most capable even if you disagree with them on every single issue.
Without a doubt. But I think a lot of the extreme social conservatives, both politician and populace, are like a dog chasing a truck- they wouldn’t know what to do with it if they actually got what they are going after. Many of those positions are just based on a general sense of fear and dissatisfaction, the religious element is happy to play into that and a lot of conservative politicians are happy to play into both to get votes. It’s a shitty strategy and it’s bad for the country and making it mainstream is one of the worst things Karl Rove did to this country. It’s like McCain legitimizing Sarah Palin, only worse.
