Disney Cruise Line Pot Wash

Disney Cruise Line likes to hide its human side, and facts like this will not be found at their extensive Youtube promotional videos.

Magical Clock in, wonderful clock out.
Every time you start or finish work shift, you have to clock in or clock out.
You do that by scanning your fingerprint and entering your employee number in a unit that is closest to your work location. If you forget to clock in, you will have hard time collecting money for that time period.
Clock in – clock out time for every employee is being monitored from the supervisor’s office.
He clearly see who fails to clock in on time, and appropriate discipline takes place.
The Disney Cruise Line management uses this tool to effectively disembark whoever doesn’t fit in desired community “standards”.
In other words, if you don’t do what they want you to do, you will exceed allowed clock in “fails” very fast, and they will have perfectly legal reason to fire you.

Disney Cruise Line Human Resources Department
Disney Cruise Line does not have HR manager whose task is the welfare of its crew.
It’s HR manager is highly skilled lawyer, whose only task is to protect the company from the multimillion dollars settlements at the court of law.
If you happen to need something simple, like solve any type of dispute, their main function is to fend you off. If somebody go to HR office unannounced, his supervisor or head of department is called to be told that he is not able to run his department.

In time, new employee learn not to jeopardize their jobs, and keep their frustration to themselves.
The Disney Cruise Line Officers are much better compensated for their service than plain crew members. They stay with the company much longer, enjoying their short contracts and generous salaries. Therefore, they stick together, and if any newly hired crew member tries to change process or any kind of routine, he hits the brick wall.

Broken Glasses and Plates – Pay from your Own Pocket
Accidental breakage of plates, glasses and other restaurant equipment is unavoidable in the kitchens that serve over 10.000 meals per day.
Since the Disney Cruise Line was looking to save as much space as possible, so they can instead of kitchens build passenger’s cabins, and earn more $$$, it is impossible to avoid contacts in a small and crowded corridors.
However, recognizing its greed is not an option, and company happily buy new kitchenware from waiters’ and waitresses pockets. So it is your fault if you’re carrying 16 main dishes at one tray, and somebody runs into you.

Wrong Ship’s Design
If you’re in a harry to finish washing, rinsing, sanitizing and polishing hundreds of pots and pans from last night’s dinner, in order to finish before next morning’s USPH inspection, you’re out of luck, because your work space in right above the passenger’s cabins, and they will complain if they hear faintest sound above their heads, not to mention pot wash machine cover slamming down every 2 minutes. The sound travels through bulkheads easily.
That is just one example of numerous ship’s design faults, made having in mind just one idea – stack as many passenger’s cabins possible, because they produce money, and let the crew members do their jobs however they can.
I guess that’s how Imageneers among the crew members came to be.

The Disney Difference
There is nothing different about Disney Cruise Line in comparison to other cruise lines in the world. Perhaps they brainwash you more than others, in order to attract more passengers to buy a cruise.
Snow White is just a run down “actor” with no career in the real world, and she hates her job like the most of crew members. Every time she dresses her white costume, she hates it more.
People from all over the world trade their time onboard for money, and that’s the only true.
