Pink Slips at Disney. But First, Training Foreign Replacements.
NY Times - JULIA PRESTON - JUNE 3, 2015
Quote:
ORLANDO, Fla. — The employees who kept the data systems humming in the vast Walt Disney fantasy fief
did not suspect trouble when they were suddenly summoned to meetings with their boss.
…
Instead, about 250 Disney employees were told in late October that they would be laid off.
Many of their jobs were transferred to immigrants on temporary visas for highly skilled technical workers,
who were brought in by an outsourcing firm based in India.
Over the next three months, some Disney employees were required to train their replacements to do the jobs they had lost.
