Morale and trust within the Walt Disney World government has deteriorated since allies of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took it over earlier this year, according to many employees who have departed in recent months saying the governing district has been politicized and cronyism now permeates the organization.

More than 40 out of about 370 employees have left the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District since it was taken over in February, raising concerns that decades of institutional knowledge is departing with them, along with a reputation for a well-run government.

“When I first joined the District, I found an organization that strived to be the very best at serving our community, sought the very best employees and valued those employees above all else,” a former facilities manager with three years of experience said in an employee exit survey last week. “I find myself leaving a completely different District. A District that prioritizes politics above all else and will gladly sacrifice its employees, its community and its work if there’s an opportunity to score political points.”

    “Florida is becoming unlivable.”

    I mean, yeah, sure, but there are Trans people out there! We have priorities! Florida has alligators though and they’ve survived for millions of years so Florida will be fine. The United States has only been around 200 years, those Trans people are the True Threat!™©®

      Needs more mentions of “woke,” “cancel culture,” and “kids being forced into sex change operations by liberals after they give birth and have post-birth abortions.” Maybe a light sprinkling of CRT for Outrage Nostalgia.
