And just a week or two before the announcement, Disney announced record-breaking profits for the company.<\/p>\n<p>So when he was called in to that October meeting he was expecting some sort of promotion or pat on the back. <\/p>\n<p>Instead, he and the few dozen other highly regarded, knowledgable and experienced employees called into the meeting were told they had 90 days to find employment elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTwenty years of hard work, technical skill building, fostering relationships, a bachelor\u2019s degree in IT, guided me to a coveted position as an IT engineer at Disney,\u201d he told The DCNF, speaking on condition of anonymity, because he\u2019s waiting on legal advice. \u201cAnd that was just wiped out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The office was soon flooded with the foreign workers, most of whom were fresh out of college. In the first phase, the foreign worker sat next to the American worker in \u201cknowledge transfer sessions,\u201d and videotaped everything they said and did, and then reviewed the tapes with the American worker to ensure accuracy.<\/p>\n<p>Source: The Daily Caller<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican senator and presidential candidate Marco Rubio is backing a bill that would triple the number of guest workers businesses could hire every year, after hundreds of workers in his state were fired and literally replaced by foreign guest workers.
