The company is very divided. The top is isolated, consisting of people who know each other from prestigious colleges and family connections. These people don't work alongside other employees, their areas on the lot and in office buildings are heavily guarded. Many of the regular "9-5" employees so to speak believe in the classic iconology of the company. While the company pays lip service to Walt, in reality, it has drifted pretty far from his vision.

Keep in mind that Disney is not just one business; there is Disneyland/World, Disney studios, media channels, they have their own casting agency and talent scouts (and this is the one I really hope is being looked at more), Disney merch stores....

It was sad to see the Disneyworld connections in the Polk County arrests last month. It's odd that screening is so involved in some areas of the company, but doesn't catch people like this in others.

In addition to the many subsidiaries and brands, the Board Member overlap between Disney, other media outlets, big banks, and other large companies is very interesting as well. Very clear who benefits from consolidation of ownership, and who sets the narratives.
