http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/04/us/last-task-after-layoff-at-disney-train-foreign-replacements.html
In late November, this former employee received his annual performance
review, which he provided to The New York Times. His supervisor, who
was not aware the man was scheduled for layoff, wrote that because of
his superior skills and "outstanding" work, he had saved the company
thousands of dollars. The supervisor added that he was looking forward
to another highly productive year of having the employee on the team.
The employee got a raise. His severance pay had to be recalculated to
include it. The former Disney employee who is 57 worked in project
management and software development. His resume lists a top-level
skill certification and command of seven operating systems, 15 program
languages and more than two dozen other applications and media. "I
was forced into early retirement," he said. The timing was "horrible,"
he said, because his wife recently had a medical emergency with
expensive bills. Shut out of Disney, he is looking for a new job
elsewhere.
