Tagging?

[mrfantasmic]

Really? I haven't seen tagging backstage as per Al's article. Anyone seen any?

Re: Tagging?

I have all over. I have put in numerous work orders for the tagging I have seen in bathrooms, on the walls of the stairs leading up from the diner on the mirrors in backstage areas...... its really bad

Re: Tagging?

I guess it just gets taken care of too quickly for me to see it, thanks to you, no doubt!

Re: Tagging?

I've seen it too, in fact - we've had to make signs in our workplace saying "please do not write or doodle on your workstations, mousepads, chairs, etc."

Re: Tagging?

i see it occasionally, mostly in the story book area. Funniest one i saw was in the storybook break room, someone put a "bad word" with an arrow pointed at the CDS computer, and 3 small world leads trying to wash it off.

Re: Tagging?

I only use bathrooms that only our Cast Members use (and rarely a few Guests) so I haven't seen it myself yet. Wouldn't surprise me, but it still sucks just the same.

Makes me a very sad Cast Member.

Re: Tagging?

There was a surge of hateful tagging episode in the parade building but it wasn't some "lowered hiring standards hooligan" it was someone with very intolerant of other people's beliefs and lifestyles

Re: Tagging?

All I've noticed in the DCA work areas I frequent is tagging/scratching on the mirrors, and that's bad enough. That and people who can't aim worth beans.

I'd hate to think that they are that disgusting in their own homes. It's like dogs messing in their own beds and food; I mean, people, these are OUR facilities! I don't like standing in my own pee; I sure as hell don't want to stand in yours.

Re: Tagging?

Whats the point of scratching a mirror. I could never see how thats exciting or fun.

Re: Tagging?

Take a good look at the trams from K-lot. They have grafiti on practically every one.

The bathroom behind the hungry bear restaurant has racist symbols scrawled over it as well.

Re: Tagging?

Disgusting. I guess that 'tolerance' film in Traditions didn't get through. I hate that kind of crap more than just about anything.

I haven't noticed it on the trams; now I'm sure I won't be able to miss it.

Re: Tagging?

Was "tolerance" the one with the delivery guy hitting on the receptionist?
They still use that?

Re: Tagging?

heres a solution to the tagging/grafitti/vandalism problem: put up security cameras in backstage. and have a three strikes law

first offense: $200 fine and the damage has to be repaired
second offense: $500 fine and 3 months suspension(to start after the damage is repaired)
third offense:buh bye!!!!!!!!!!!(the damage has to be repaired first)

Doubt that can work.

Companies can't really fine anyone. They could theoretically deduct from your pay for actual damages and repairing is not the provence of the person at fault because those tasks are themselves probably union based.

Might require some form of formal procedure though, not just someone's word, pictures or no.

Enforcement would be subject to union contract, procedures.

Just firing someone would be simplest.

That be the one.

Re: Tagging?

i see tagging all the time. i have seen it done around the challenge trail, in all bathrooms and there was a couple really really bad ones in the changing rooms over by the paradise pier office backstage! it really is sad that some cast member feel they have to tag mean things backstage or tag at all, if you don't like it there, leave!

That's the sexual harassment video that was practically created in the 70s or something.

Yes, they still play that.

Re: Tagging?

It's all over the elevator in the scheduling/cast health building too. That one really bugs me just because it's not the average workplace for hooligans. I can see how it gets on the mirrors near a break area where there are bored CMs, but who honestly has time to come to work early or stay late just to ride up and down in the elevator to the scheduling office trying to scratch meaningless crap into the doors? Gimme a break.

Uh, you think a Cast Member should get a warning if caught vandalising? That's a crime, and believe me the fine is greater outside for ANY offense and it just keeps getting worse.

Do you work at DL?

I think part of reducing repeat incidents is making an example and following through consistantly. Shouldn't anyone caught in an act of vandalism or destruction of property face the same penalties as if the person were doing the same to your front yard?
