That’s a weird amount of nickel-and-diming. I’d bet money that the cost of a Disneyland pass was spent five times over on breakfast that morning.

$2B in content and they didn’t give her something like this?
Dear ABC:
I have seen so many warped framings and warped takes on this today.
I’m sure she didn’t want the innocent affected, but the projected $21 billion loss from COVID at the parks and the whack ass roll-out and grifting of Disney+ had me thinking she pulled this in her last meeting with The Mouse House.
I hope when she went into the last negotiation meeting before leaving, that she named every person involved in the tix scandal: from the ticket-taker at the park, that team leader, and every manager who didn’t give her what she asked for on up to the guy who made that comment as the explicit reasons why she left. Make…
How many white Quiver-full executives’ families have gotten multiple tix and encountered this much trouble taking advantage of free shit! Ever?! And how many levels of people would have just let it go...if the people presenting the free tix had been white?!
Had Ms. Shonda been a white male that made them less than 10M, I do believe heads would have rolled.
“We never do this” and “don’t you have enough?” are not the responses you say to someone...” WHITE, in a power position, when they DEMAND special privileges!!!
Thank you! The AV Club went with “Shonda Rhimes’ reason for leaving ABC for Netflix was just the right amount of petty” which isn’t right either; she did earn billions for them, and had to call around herself to sort a minor employee benefit, and then to have the exec speak to her that way... it’s beyond belief.
As someone who has worked in environments like Disney/ABC, I can definitely understand it. What people don’t understand is that working in that kind of corporate environment is basically like having to endure thousands of papercuts every day, only to shut up and do it the next. At some point, you get so sick and tired…
This is a Michela Eisner level fuck-up.
Put some respect on my name or I’ll take it to someone who will. I am NOT mad at you Shonda.
Below please find my response to a commenter over at TheRoot who co-signed up with the exec that implied she has enough cashish to purchase her own passes.
“Bob Chapek (Disney’s CEO) would want to hunt down that fool and give them the heave. “
“We never do this” and “don’t you have enough?” are not the responses you say to someone who has made over 2 billion dollars for your company. Two.Billion.Dollars. And that’s what she’s already made for Disney; the future revenue she would’ve brought in for them went poof.
She was talking to DISNEY. They definitely had it, and don't anymore.
Shonda ran from ABC to Netflix while Michaela Coel ran from Netflix to HBO. We ain’t with the shits anymore.
and for everyone who thinks there has never been a President like this
He will take all our kind thoughts and prayers and good wishes..
