I would not understand Boeing, Exxon, Fox, DreamWorks, or any other corporation doing things this way, so it makes no sense to me for Disney either...
I work at a company very comparable to one in your list. We just had a situation worse than the Lasseter one. Four directors knew about it and did nothing to stop it. They demoted 2 of the 4. Rumor is that was because they couldn't stomach losing 4 directors at once. So other big companies consider business factors as well before taking action on these situations. I'm not saying that it's right, just that Disney isn't alone in doing it.
I agree. Disney is big on 'virtue signaling' these days though, so I guess it would have been hard for him to hang around...but I think that Disney is throwing their golden goose overboard. I hope they don't go back to making the crappy stuff they were before Lasseter came on.
I have to believe that others at Disney have been able to see and understand the reasons for his success. Maybe he's even been mentoring people. Maybe this will allow other talented people who have felt stifled because of the atmosphere the opportunity to step up and shine. But maybe not. Time will tell, I guess.
