I find it incredible that several people tried to defend such demeanor. A TRUE friend would pull that friend aside and be honest with him, not make excuses for him. If others were offended with my challenging him, it was unintentional. I PUBLICLY APOLOGIZE TO THOSE HERE WHO MAY HAVE BEEN OFFENDED. Willfully offending people is NOT my nature. I hope this puts any ill feelings to bed.

Most of those people whomade those comments are not friends of the other poster -- and know him only from his postings on these boards -- most of us have never met him. regardless -- water under the bridge at this point....and I know there is only one poster ever here I had ill feelings towards ( as did many others) and they have long since been removed from this venue. As a group we get along well on this board, far better than most... and I know I for one do not want every post to be sugary sweet either....that would serve no purpose either...
Originally Posted By TDLFAN I don't know why everyone is so shocked about this... WDW Casting is notorious for hiring just about anyone who walks thru their doors and then fire them weeks after these Cms have been on the job, just because it takes them that long to do criminal history checks. You could be thebest CM who ever set foot at WDW but if you have a criminal record of any kind...misdemeanor to baddemeanor, you will be let go *and* blacklisted so they don't rehire you ever again.
Originally Posted By RangerPooh I realize that Disney does background checks and is able to hire and fire whomever they please, but I thought that there was some policy in place where if you wanted to remain employed by the company then you needed to have a clean record. Out of curiosity does anyone know what positions they were hiring for?
Originally Posted By beamerdog lol, TDLFAN. Kidding aside. It's hard to make a generalization here. I know a young man working now who was in prison. He's an awesome employee and is out working with people in a responsible position. But the people who hired him knew him for at least a year when he was in prison and work closely with him. I doubt whether that will be the case with the Disney employees.

If ex-cons can't get a job they'll just keep re-offending (I'm mainly talking about the kind that commit crime for monetary gain, muggers, burglars, thieves, maybe even small timedrug dealers) On a side not after I read this >>I know a young man working now who was in prison.<< from the above poster I couldn't help but think of Chappelle's Show "My name's Tyree......yeaa I been to prison"

Originally Posted By TDLFAN I agree. Me? as long as they uphold the Disney Standard and look, they get my approuval as well.
Originally Posted By beamerdog >>In a sense, he is still in prison.<< Not really. Almost none of the people know anything about him and he's not "watched" - he just does his job. I only figured it out because he gave me a few hints since I know alot about the organization and what it does.
