Los Angeles, March 16 (TIWN) A group of Disney employees have planned a week of in-person and virtual walkouts in response to the company and CEO Bob Chapek's handling of Florida's 'Don't Say Gay' Bill.
However, Disney's new CEO, Bob Chapek, remained silent on the bill for quite a long time, and then released an internal email saying that he stands with the LGBTQ+ community, but did not think any actual action from the company would be better than the material they create, a comment that was heavily criticized by Disney employees. The CEO even had to answer tough questions during an investor call. While Chapek later said that the company would ease all donations and reassess who they contribute to politically, the CEO never claimed any further action that would take place after that, and it appears the damage has already been done.
