  Is this their attempt to get out of that negligence suit where that person died and they tried to force arbitration from the clause in a free trial of Disney plus?

    Article says the erroneous menus weren’t distributed. So, probably not.

    Well, as that was a restaurant not managed by Disney, but through an independent pub owner in their public market area… I kind of doubt it.

  If you want to screw with your former employer, screw your former employer. This is criminal.

    This sounds like a scapegoat.

  That’s why you disable their account before telling them they’re fired.

    You mean you don’t give them 2 weeks notice on firing?

      If you’ll find for course you don’t get given notice. If somebody is breaking the rules and being dangerous you don’t want them hanging around for another 2 weeks you want them gone now.

      If it’s a layoff then yeah you get notice

      The US is at will, nobody gives 2 weeks for termination unless maybe it’s a layoff. If a company has grounds to fire you they just fire you. Most will be smart enough to disable accounts before you’re even out the door.

    Doesn’t sound like an account access problem, sounds like a shared password problem.

    In a company as blue-chip as Disney, the discontinuation of access and privileges and security clearance are indicators of imminent repositioning, likely firing if you’ve engaged in mischief (such as voicing your opinion or comparing salaries).

    It’s why you give sweet Christmas presents to the awkward guy in HR and invite him to all your socials. Blow him if he’s into it. He’s your intel source regarding who is in danger of discharge, and if the boss doesn’t like you.

    This disgruntled guy had to be lower rank than the mailroom if HR wasn’t given notice, and his access was super low priority. No-one cared.

    (Yes, I’m bitter.)

  Removing the allergen warning is basically some form of attempted manslaughter.

    Which Disney apparently sort of did on their own, but now they’re funding news stories about an employee who went rogue ! Ha see Disney isn’t at fault!! Right?! 🙃

    Murder. Firing a gun in a crowd is not manslaughter because you don’t see exactly who you are killing. You know it’s going to kill someone and that’s the goal so it’s murder.

  Outsourced IT and not all Apps were AD authenticated is my guess. Probably a request sitting in a queue waiting for SLA.

  Jesus, if he had only done the allergy thing and not the profanity or wingdings it’s likely nobody would have noticed and people would have died(!)
