If they're not leaving, then they're staying?
- cuteboy19 4y agoThey are being made to leave, it wasn't their decision.
- eindiran 4y agoThey are being laid off, playing dumb about this isn't a good look.

- eindiran 4y agoI sincerely don't understand your responses in this thread. Why are you so personally invested in defending corporate blame evasion?

- stcroixx 4y agoPoor treatment of their employees (IT laid off then forced to train cheaper replacement staff) is more than enough reason. Any working person has solid ground to not be on the side of Disney.
- skyyler 4y agoBeing churlish over it isn't doing you any favours.
- lolchurlish 4y agoThat’s kind of like pointing at the guy openly peeing into the pool and saying to those around you, you know, that guy’s actions aren’t doing him any favors of how we perceive him, then tossing your empty soda bottle into the pool.
- skyyler 4y agoYou made an entire account to tell me this, I feel so special <3
- meragrin_ 4y agoThey weren't playing dumb. The writer cherry picked the comment to make them look worse and the bait was obviously swallowed. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/disney-ceo-bob-igers-layoff-183218754.html https://finance.yahoo.com/news/disney-ceo-bob-igers-layoff-1...
- blululu 4y agoDon't be dense. The use of euphemism is what the OP finds objectionable. Leaving implies a choice. These people are getting booted and the company is using weasel words to gloss over the fact that this was a conscious decision that was made by people working for the company and it will cause harm to the people effected to the benefit of the company.

- ben0x539 4y agoIt's, like, using active voice. Like it's a thing the employees are actively, purposefully, doing or perpetrating. Of course it doesn't actually unambiguously say "and they've fully consciously decided they would like to no longer work to", but it's definitely language that's designed to, however ineffectively, not draw attention to the blatant fact that the company has chosen to fire people.
- lenkite 4y agoI guess when immigrants are given the boot on the backside by a nation state, they are also "leaving".
- nickpeterson 4y agoIf someone is carried out of a bar, would it be accurate to say they left the bar? Sure, but not of their own accord.
- usrusr 4y agoAnd yet it's an active verb, not a passive.
- meragrin_ 4y agoNo, the OP just latched on the bait the writer laid out there. The memo made it very clear in the lead up to that sentence that management was responsible. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/disney-ceo-bob-igers-layoff-183218754.html https://finance.yahoo.com/news/disney-ceo-bob-igers-layoff-1...
