Actually I would hope they did feel their roles might be at risk given they had 90 days notice for the actual layoff plus many prior notifications in the months leading up to those last 90 days about the change in direction the department was taking.
I really don't understand the tone in comments from this whole thread in general. Many companies, large and small, make decisions that result in a change of direction or focus. The results of those changes may mean that some of roles are no longer needed. Is it inherently negative for an IT group to say they want to focus on new development and not sustainment? Is it because out-sourcing is "bad"? Is it because Disney is a large corporation and "enterprise" has such a negative connotation?
I honestly want to understand this better, because I don't get why there is _so_ much negativity around this.
