"Disney cancels plan to move 2,000 workers to Florida amid DeSantis fight

Walt Disney Co. has canceled its plan to open a new Florida campus that would’ve relocated some 2,000 employees to the state, a change that comes as the company is engaged in a long brawl with the state’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis.

The company in July 2021 said it planned to move staffers, including many theme park designers (known as Imagineers) and consumer products workers, to new office space in the Orlando community of Lake Nona to take advantage of some $570 million in tax breaks."

They had already cancelled those plans back before they fired Chapek because the employees they were going to move were going to quit and they can't afford to lose them. Now they're using it as if it's some big power move.

Just the cred for fighting against the Corporate Machine. Hopefully others will follow in his footsteps.
