Abigail Disney wrote a lengthy thread on Twitter, calling out Disney for protecting executive bonuses, while stopping to pay 100,000 employees.
In her thread, the documentary filmmaker criticized the company for protecting executive bonuses, while front line employees lose payments from the decision."[T]he REAL outrage is, of course, those bonuses...All 1.5 billion of them. 1.5 BILLION. That'd pay for three months salary to front line workers," she wrote."And its going to people who have already been collecting egregious bonuses for years.
Disney higher ups like executive chairman Bob Iger and CEO Bob Chapek have taken pay cuts amidst the pandemic. Iger will forgo the remainder of his $3 million salary for the year and Chapek will only receive half of his $2.5 million base salary, according to. Abigail Disney explained that despite forgoing base salaries, incentive schemes often account for a large portion of executive's earnings.
Disney went onto explain how hard employees had to fight for $15/an hour and how rare it is for an employee to work 40 hours a week and how much more executives could make compared to the parks' employees.
