I spent more than eleven years as a Disney cast member, on the technology side of the company. This series is what those years looked like from the inside — told honestly, without the villain edit. Disney is not uniquely bad. That is the point. If this can happen there, under all those posters, it can happen anywhere.
Part 1 is the personal bill: autistic burnout, a forced return to office, and what was actually offered when I asked for accommodations. Part 2 is the leadership bill: the absurdities you could read straight off the floor plan. Part 3 is the accountability bill: power hoarded upstairs, responsibility distributed down, and a manager whose answer to every raised problem was a happy hour. Part 4 is the culture bill: the family that only runs one way, and the smile-and-nod the company mistook for teamwork. Part 5 is the audit: I took the AI they mandated and asked it about their own strategy — the RTO evidence, the commute bill, the leadership checklist, and the ten-second answer nobody upstairs ever looked up. Part 6 is the exit bill: my best guess at what return to office was actually for, the brain drain it set off either way, and why quiet attrition is a layoff with the courage removed.
The parts list below stays in sync with the published essays — use it as the roadmap.
