I’ve seen from two sources that included in the massive layoffs at Disney are 279 DVC employees. I’m assuming this is mostly on the sales side. So sad!!
If you notice, the WARN notice cited in the DVCFan article is for DVD (the developer) and not DVC (the club). So the impact should not be felt in Member Services, Accounting or Satisfaction. And cuts to any resort staff would not be from among the 279 jobs mentioned in the article. The 279 jobs are under the DVD umbrella.There are many jobs at DVC that are usage dependent. For example, if only 75% of the resort is filled, the staff needed to clean is reduced, as is the number of lifeguards, people in the community center, the people at the Epcot lounge, and the front desk staff.
There are jobs at DVC that are sales dependent, like those people who stand in the kiosks who entice you to make an appointment for a tour, actual sales persons, and member administration.
I suspect that every part of DVC was asked how to cut their costs 10%, just like the resorts.
