1111111 employees of Disney paid no wages
The market value plummeted by 562.6 billion
After going through the dark hours, such as executive pay cuts, the park was closed, movies were withdrawn, debt was used to make ends meet, and the stock price plummeted, the current situation of Disney did not improve.
It is reported that Disney will stop paying more than one million employees this week, which is close to half of its total employees.
As the largest entertainment group in the world, Walt Disney Company operates several theme parks and hotels in the United States, Europe and Asia. However, affected by the novel coronavirus epidemic, these theme parks and hotels have been closed for nearly five weeks.
When the epidemic broke out, Disney's offline amusement places were hit hard: On October 24th, Shanghai became the first Disneyland in the world to be temporarily closed. On October 26th, Hong Kong announced the closure of the park. On February 28th, Japan announced the suspension of business for epidemic prevention. On March 3, three theme parks in Europe and the United States also announced that they were all closed.
According to the data, Disneyland attracts more than 52 million tourists on average every year, making it the most visited holiday resort in the world.
This is the first time that the 96-year-old Disney has closed its six parks at the same time. At the same time, Disney has closed all its hotels, and Disney's cruise business will be suspended in March.
Since the beginning of this year, Disney's share price has fallen by nearly 31%, and its market value has evaporated by 79.4 billion US dollars (about 562.6 billion yuan), which is equivalent to the total market value of 61 Huayi Brothers.
In the past month, Disney signed a new credit line, giving the company about $21 billion in cash flow to cope with the economic downturn.
Some analysts said that since labor costs account for 45% of operating expenses, giving employees vacations and other cost cuts will save Disney about $511 million a month.
what about the 11111 employees who have been paid without pay?
Disney said that although some employees face unpaid leave, it will provide comprehensive medical benefits for employees who take unpaid leave, and urged its American employees to apply for benefits from the government through the 2 trillion novel coronavirus stimulus plan.
for most bottom-level employees, this is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket.

BOSS direct employment APP crashed
The number of unemployed people increased by more than 7 million in February
The BOSS direct employment APP crashed two days ago. Although it failed for a short time, it was still surprising.
Because, behind the collapse of App, there is a surge of job seekers.
It's really not easy to find a job this year because of the epidemic situation.
According to media reports, in 2121, the number of college graduates reached 8.74 million, a record high.
meanwhile, the national bureau of statistics revealed that the domestic unemployment rate was 6.2% in February, an increase of nearly 1% compared with 5.3% in the same period of 2119.
based on the domestic working-age population of 771 million, the number of unemployed people increased by more than 7 million in February this year. Considering the outbreak in February, the unemployment rate in March is not optimistic.
It is not surprising that many people complain that it is not easy to find a job.
Some people think that the most serious thing is not now. After May, when more than 8.7 million graduates collide with millions of new unemployed people, the domestic employment situation is bound to be more severe. Perhaps, the collapse of the BOSS direct employment APP is more like a rehearsal.
On the one hand, there are more job seekers, on the other hand, there is a decline in recruitment demand.
Because many enterprises are facing closure and layoffs. The catering industry is in great sorrow. Up to now, 5,328 film and television industries have cancelled and closed down, and the tourism industry is even worse. I have read reports before that if the epidemic continues, the popular homestays in recent years may disappear in China.
almost every day, we see many well-known or unfamiliar enterprises in crisis.
recently, BOSS directly hired and published the "2121 Spring Recruitment Trend Report for Freshmen". According to the report, as of March 31, 2121, the number of fresh graduates in 2121 who actively applied for jobs in the spring recruitment season increased by 56% compared with 2119, but the scale of recruitment demand for fresh graduates by enterprises decreased by 22% year-on-year.
The current situation is really not optimistic. The most direct impact is that there will be fewer and fewer channels to make money in the future, and jobs will continue to be difficult to find.
So, I sincerely advise you, no matter how ignorant you think the leader is now, how bad the relationship with colleagues is, and how hard you struggle in the workplace, please bear with it first.
keeping your job is the most important thing.
the economic winter will pass, but at least you have to be able to hold on to this process first.

What is the experience of unemployment in 2121
At present, the epidemic has spread to more than 161 countries, with more than 2.5 million confirmed cases and more than 171,111 deaths in COVID-19.
The impact of this epidemic is really too great. In addition to the unfortunate infected patients, countless people are facing unemployment.
Someone asked in Zhihu: What is the experience of unemployment in 2121?
The answers in the comment area are all sad:
"Last year, I started a business with my friends. Because of this epidemic, the company collapsed and lost more than 111,111 yuan, and the situation of a small restaurant chain opened by my wife was not good.
This franchised store will require you to prepare a large number of goods before the New Year because it will have a holiday during the New Year. The epidemic was forced to close for three months, and all the raw materials were rotten. Now I am struggling to turn it off. "
"I'm not unemployed, but I work in the suicide hotline. Recently, I got a lot of phone calls saying that I was fired and wanted to commit suicide. It's really miserable, but I can't give them practical help. "
"I should always remember the day when I lost my job.
The company finally broke down. The boss shook hands with everyone and said goodbye. I took a box of office supplies to the subway, which was very uncomfortable, because I didn't lose my job because of my poor personal ability.
By the way, it was still my birthday. "
"I work in a small software company. I haven't lost my job, but our company has a 31% pay cut. They say it will be reassessed every month. During this period, customers have been canceling or delaying projects.
this month is ok, but I don't know if I can keep my job next month. I'm glad that the company is taking a pay cut instead of laying off 31% of its employees.
who knows if I will be the 31% who was fired. "
"I worked as a graphic designer for a screen printing and promotional product company for five years and just got fired. Because half the business of our company is related to schools, sports and various activities. Now that all this is gone, business is bleak. The company intends to rely on the backbone team to continue its operation in the next few months. They still hope to call all employees back eventually, but I am not optimistic. "
"Years ago, the company laid off employees, so we left happily through negotiation. Looking at opportunities in the years to come, the situation is quite grim, especially for an older grassroots young woman like me, who has not yet received an interview opportunity. Now life is very awkward. Half the time I try to cheer myself up and learn something, and half the time I feel depressed. I stare at the computer and shed tears unconsciously.
Life should be hard, but I didn't expect to live until I was 31. "
"What's the experience? I can't sleep for many nights. People around me think I like to stay up late. In fact, I just can't sleep because of anxiety. I have been unemployed at home for almost three months. In fact, all the anxiety is just a sense of powerlessness caused by lack of money, which is a very real problem. "
In fact, there are many unemployed people every year, but in the context of the epidemic, these stories are really covered with grief and indignation.

There is no hurdle to cross
There are only endless hurdles
Everyone will encounter what he thinks is the darkest moment.
I remember when I just graduated, I quit my job in a fit of pique for some messy reasons, thinking that the world was so big that I couldn't go anywhere.
I don't stay here, but I have my own place to stay.
The first month was fine, and the second month was fine. In the third month, I began to panic, and I saw that the balance on the card was getting less and less. At that time, it was just in the off-season of recruitment, and occasionally I got one or two phone calls, either missing or extremely unreliable.
Then I started to frantically submit resumes and interviews. Because many opportunities didn't match, I was rejected again and again, and then I became more panicked, forming a vicious circle.
fortunately, due to the timely adjustment of state and mentality, I found the right opportunity soon, and then the whole person became confident again.
Now it seems that I just didn't have a job for a few months, just an empty window in the middle of two jobs, but I was really anxious at that time, and I didn't think about tea and rice, as if the sky were falling down.
We all have this experience, whether it's lovelorn or unemployed. At that time, we may feel dark, but after that, we feel so much.
this is growth and maturity.
Because there are no hurdles in life, only endless hurdles.
This epidemic is too serious, and you are too innocent, so it will make everyone affected more anxious, especially those who are forced to lose their jobs.
But in any case, in the face of these obstacles in life, you can face them, or you can bury your head in the ground and be an ostrich.
it's all a choice.
But no matter what you choose, as long as you are still alive, life will go on and continue to meet one hurdle after another, some big and some small.
you can't hide.
Then why not choose to fight? Anyway, we have reached the bottom, and every step is upward.
since the difficulties in life are inevitable, when we feel flustered, anxious and at a loss, instead of imagining things, we might as well find something to do.
Reading and writing, exercising and cooking, studying and studying, whether it's cultivating sentiment or skills learning, devoting ourselves to one thing and getting order and peace from it are good ways for us to fight anxiety. From these subtle things, the anxious self is ironed out and properly placed.
we can be defeated temporarily, but we can't be eliminated.
unemployment or no pay, unless you want to, it can't last forever.
now that you feel difficult, it is precisely the time to change.
Do you remember what you wanted to do most after the epidemic in Weibo some time ago? Everyone has left messages: work hard, make money hard, and make up for wasted time ...
So please don't lose heart, the epidemic will pass and life will go on.
Life is endless, and fighting is endless. Pits come to fill holes, and hurdles come to cross them. You must go until the lights are bright and the dark clouds are gone.
it must be worth it.
