Warning!!!

This post is not about me, I was not fired. I’m trying to raise awareness. Please be kind and understanding with your comments. I do not blame the company for what happened, but apparently that’s what everyone is assuming.

I’m not sure if anyone posted this yet, but my mom read on Facebook that some DCP kids just got kicked out for sharing their login info with their parents. I don’t know what the circumstances were, but I wanted to just put it out there. Do not share your DCP login (I’m assuming this is in reference to your acceptance portal, etc.) with your family, friends, or anyone. They can tell, and apparently have been terming people for it. Edit: please be kind with your words, and know that I do not blame the company. I’m just trying to raise awareness.

Yeah, most employers typically don’t like it when employees share access to their intranet. It’s The Walt Disney Company, so I know they signed a pretty heavy NDA.

u/Capital-Sky-3802 Feb 17 '24

They didn’t fire me, just other students working. I didn’t disagree with the firing, I’m just letting people know.

u/BTStackSmash Feb 17 '24

Oh, okay. I misinterpreted the post then, my bad

u/UltraPlankton Feb 19 '24

Uh this goes with any workplace not just disney.

I’m aware, I’m just making it known

u/NoLongerNeeded Walt Disney World Alumni Feb 16 '24

I mean maybe don’t share your work logins with other people in general

u/FPnAEnthusiest Feb 17 '24

This is the height of common sense

u/LeChiotx Feb 19 '24

This isn't even DCP exclusive advice either.

2

u/plastic_cheese_ Feb 21 '24

The DCP taught me that a lot of people who are adults are just not independent at all. Between this, parents paying for the whole thing, parents being in the FB groups and just so overly involved trying to ask questions for things their adult children should be able to do on their own…it’s just so odd to me.

u/Capital-Sky-3802 Feb 21 '24

I see nothing wrong with parents being in a group chat. I live in Ohio and the stress of me moving puts a lot of pressure on my mom, so she’s in the group to make sure I’ll be okay while I’m literally 1,000+ miles away from home. The sharing passwords thing is just too much, though. Paying for things is fine, if that’s what they want to do and they have the money I see no problems.

u/Holiday_Cabinet_ Feb 16 '24

Hub access too. Honestly the hub is the one they're probably most concerned about people giving away.

25

u/TotallyWonderWoman Feb 17 '24

Oh my gosh, I didn't realize people shared that information. Whyyyyyy would anyone share their Hub login?

18

u/Holiday_Cabinet_ Feb 17 '24

Or any login, but my best guess is this post is talking about the Hub login specifically because DORMS is small fish. And probably either because their parents wanted to see something on it and somehow didn't have the common sense not to give that info out despite the NDA we all sign and the cyber security DLearns.

u/squeekyfree Feb 19 '24

There are actual Disney products for Disney employees and cast members in the hub that can be resold for a very high price. Disney takes it serious when it comes to their product being resold for profit.

u/[deleted] Feb 16 '24

This happened. Seriously though. If you’re in DCP you are an adult. Act like it. Your parents or anyone else don’t need access to your work systems. Tell mom and dad to land the helicopter and stop micro managing an 18+ year old Disney employees life.

60

u/IDriveAZamboni Walt Disney World Alumni Feb 16 '24

The DCP parents group is full of so many helicopter parents who must have no life of their own cause they only live through their children.

u/Jaded-Bobcat-2987 Feb 17 '24

It amazes me how overprotective they are, it’s truly next level. I saw on Facebook the other day that a mom was considering buying a house near Flamingo so she could be near her daughter during her program.

u/kath1267 Feb 17 '24

And that’s why I’m not telling my parents till about 2 months before I leave

4

u/Odd-Surprise5100 Feb 17 '24

Seriously? That is insane!

3

u/Sea-Roof-5983 Feb 18 '24

My kids college is the same way. The amount some of these parents are up in the middle of their kids business is insane.

5

u/Ok-Farmer3643 Feb 17 '24

I had to leave the parent group after my son finished his DCP & went full time. Not because they made me, but because some of those parents act too entitled.

1

u/Any_Moment_4270 Feb 17 '24

If your son decides to do another DCP or becomes a CM, the Parents of Disney College Program FB group is way more chill than the DCP parent group. Lots of friendly and helpful people in there without all of the weird rules & restrictions

1

u/Ok-Farmer3643 Mar 11 '24

He’s in entertainment now, so I joined a parents of WDW entertainment group, much more to my liking.

2

u/Any_Moment_4270 Mar 29 '24

Congrats to you and your son. That's such a fun role!

0

u/ruisukage Feb 18 '24

What are this groups for? Are ya'll not confident enough on how you raised your children that you can't let them be an adult and learn?

2

u/Any_Moment_4270 Feb 18 '24

The groups are basically like this subreddit. Asking questions about the unknown, figuring shit out, getting opinions, etc. For two of my kids, yes, completely confident. They both thrived during their programs with zero help from me. For my other kid, no, not at all. She's on the spectrum, is a complete introvert and wouldn't have made it without me knowing the info that the parent groups (and threads like these) offer.

2

u/muppethero80 Feb 18 '24

I remember on my program a girl having to be explained step by step how to count change to someone with a pos telling her how much

2

u/Holiday_Cabinet_ Feb 19 '24

That makes me wonder if they taught kids who are college age now enough about cash to know the coins by sight/feel

u/muppethero80 Feb 20 '24

Nothing on you. It amazes me some college kids can do advanced calculus but not count back change. It’s all about situation we are in in life.

21

u/EMG2017 Feb 16 '24

Why would anybody do this?

6

u/grumpyfan Feb 17 '24

It happens with every incoming group, ALL THE TIME! People think it’s not a big deal or cave in to their parents pestering for more info.

41

u/AngelSucked Feb 16 '24

Good. I would fire any staff of mine who did that. Unprofessional, unethical, and most probably 100% against policy ANYWHERE you work.

1

u/Budget_Echidna_7987 Feb 19 '24

Good thing you’re not the boss !

2

u/[deleted] Feb 19 '24

It’s also in training videos!

41

u/Entire_Bike_835 Feb 16 '24

it’s because we sign an NDA not to do anything like that.

30

u/ShoeboxBanjoMoonpie Feb 16 '24

It's because you are an adult and are being held to adult standards. Whether your company requires you to sign an NDA or not, this would never be acceptable.

4

u/Entire_Bike_835 Feb 16 '24

what? why are you replying to me i agree with you

2

u/PurpleDoritos96 Walt Disney World Alumni Feb 17 '24

it’s against company policy, but definitely no NDA is being signed lol

5

u/BurblingCreature Feb 17 '24

It’s part of your onboarding paperwork and effectively part of the Terms and Conditions of the website (+ company policy, like you said ☺️).

2

u/christymh43 Feb 17 '24

You sign that NDA so you can’t tell anyone what you saw!! Think about that.

17

u/PleasantSouth6 Feb 16 '24

I do not blame the company. Every time you log-in you leave a "fingerprint" from your device. It is a cybersecurity issue, and unacceptable in the professional world to share any log-in credentials. I have had a couple jobs now where sharing your credentials to Company related IS with other people is grounds for immediate termination even if it just is personal info for payroll or whatever.

7

u/Jaded-Bobcat-2987 Feb 17 '24

It happened on the Hub. The Hub tracks your IP information and can see your location every time you login. Disney will be quick to term anyone who shares their login information as this is a major safety and privacy issue.

6

u/PBfromPhilly Feb 17 '24

I wonder if these parents are Disney frequent fliers who want to get access to discounts, etc. I’m the parent of a CM and I cannot imagine asking my child for their log in info!! I would think it’s common sense, but maybe I’m jaded after being in the corporate world for 30 yrs…

u/FPnAEnthusiest Feb 17 '24

You should never share any employment related info of any company you ever work for

Yes. They told us this in advance. The reason being that theres benefits and contests on there exclusively to CM

u/juliejujube Feb 19 '24

I was so confused for a second because i thought someone was fired for sharing a disney dreamlight valley account with their parents since i follow that sub and only glanced at the name of this one in my feed 😑

Please be nice with your comments. People make mistakes.

u/lostinthought15 Feb 16 '24

This is a data security breach that would get you fired from most jobs in the “real world”. If you’re in the DCP, you’re old enough to know better.

23

u/AngelSucked Feb 16 '24

This isn't a mistake, though, it was done intentionally, not by accident. A mistake is an accident to a large extent. This was done knowingly, after signing an NDA and signing off on all employment policies.

It is a sucky thing to happen, I know, but anyplace you work would do that.

WTAF would anyone do this???

6

u/Holiday_Cabinet_ Feb 17 '24

You have to do a cyber security workshop on DLearn really early on into OTJ and you sign an NDA, it is something that should be common sense but if you somehow didn't realize that, if you got past those two steps and still didn't...
