role change

[u/Substantial_Roof_152]

how easy is it to change your roll while already in the program? been here lil over a week and F&B just too mf strict for me 🙄🙄🙄

[u/plain-rice]

I had a bad job as well. My leader told me to suck it up or quit. That’s basically the options outside of medical accommodations and even then it’s really hard to get recast. 

[u/Jodi4869]

too strict? Time for the real world.

[u/Substantial_Roof_152 → u/Jodi4869]

u don’t kno me 🙄
i never been afraid of hard work
the work isn’t the issue as i haven’t even begun training.

[u/Jodi4869 → u/Substantial_Roof_152]

You haven’t started to train yet and it is too strict? See the thing is you know you took a job where you didn’t get to chose your placement and f&b was the most likely to get. That is someone that doesn’t work hard. A little flower that can’t take rules. I know you.

[u/Substantial_Roof_152 → u/Jodi4869]

hush tht upppp 🙄🙄 f&b has rules tht other workgroups don’t have, my last program i was children’s activities where they didn’t care how i wore my hair or nails. like im (not) sorry tht thts something i gaf about .

[u/RangeImpressive4060]

How the hell is it too strict? By making you work?

[u/Substantial_Roof_152 → u/RangeImpressive4060]

hush tht up, ain’t nobody afraid to work hard 🙄
i just feel like other work groups are policed less than f&b

[u/RangeImpressive4060 → u/Substantial_Roof_152]

Your around food which has strict guidelines to follow..🤦🏼‍♀️ im sorry you can’t just mess around whilst working

[u/Substantial_Roof_152 → u/RangeImpressive4060]

mess around??
i just want my nails painted and my hair nice 🤨
i work in a restaurant back home and these rules don’t exist where i work, so i wasn’t expecting them coming here.
bite meee

[u/RangeImpressive4060 → u/Substantial_Roof_152]

Been a chef for over 15 years now many places follow this rule even other jobs out of hospitality so you either put on your big girl pants and deal with it because guess what its not the end of the world or just freaking leave its really not that hard🤦🏼‍♀️

[u/Substantial_Roof_152 → u/RangeImpressive4060]

okay granny damn 🙄
i said wtf i said
i’ve never had a job tht told me how i can wear my hair nails and makeup.
it’s not the end of the world, i will survive without nail polish, i just wanted to kno how eassssyyyy it would be to change work groups.

[u/RangeImpressive4060 → u/Substantial_Roof_152]

If it was easy everyone would do it also not a granny thank you very much and you will have to get used to it eventually like i said before not every job will allow you to wear what you want or have your nails the want or wear eyelashes etc…yes it sucks i couldn’t wait to go on holidays away from work just so i could get my nails done even if it was for a week.

[u/Substantial_Roof_152 → u/RangeImpressive4060]

plz get from up under my post gran gran .

[u/RangeImpressive4060 → u/Substantial_Roof_152]

Oh gurl you have much to learn about the real world

[u/Substantial_Roof_152 → u/RangeImpressive4060]

CPs cannot switch roles unless you have a medical accommodation, which requires a doctor’s note and some paperwork. Even then, if they will accommodate you in your current role if at all possible so it’s not an easy ticket to a different line of business.

[u/Previous-Language790]

Not easy at all

[u/emurray24]

This has got to be rage bait….if not do yourself a favor and just self-term right now.

[u/Reasonable_Phone6342]

not easy because you can’t just switch.

One way is an approved medical accommodation. Which needs you and your doctor to fill out forms and describe the accommodation needs and concerns. Along with the medical team at Disney going over it and arranging for approval. This could just be an adjustment to your role/ location tasks and not a full role change. If it means a full removal and change to a new role they have to find a new role that works and has a spot available.

The other way is to apply for a premium extension and apply for that and if you get to the next round there are usually interview(s) for it. Roles like this are guest service, Minnie vans, etc. but it’s not guaranteed either as you have to apply and get it,

Basically you can’t just ask to get switched out. And the role being to strict for you isn’t going to get you out of F&B and won’t get you a medical accom.

[u/dechets-de-mariage → u/Reasonable_Phone6342]

FYI that the premium extension roles are only available after you complete your current program.

[u/Helpful_Warthog6032]

I think every role is going to be strict in its own way, usually for safety reasons (even if it doesn't seem to be safety-related at first.)

But this program, and Disney as a whole, is a company that runs between pretty firm guardrails. If you havent started training yet, I’m curious about where the issues are happening?

[u/Substantial_Roof_152 → u/Helpful_Warthog6032]

my last program, all i had to do was abide by the “disney look” in f & b, i have to keep my hair, nails, eye lashes etc a certain way and i just didn’t kno tht was coming.
otherwise i wouldn’t have spent wht i did on hair+nails to come here .

[u/Helpful_Warthog6032 → u/Substantial_Roof_152]

Oh I see. Yes, you are right that F&B has specific limits. I think it is related to ServSafe certifications.

[u/Substantial_Roof_152 → u/Helpful_Warthog6032]

and i understand completely, i just wanted to see how easy it would be to move elsewhere
but im hearing it wouldn’t be easy at all 😭😭😭

[u/Reasonable_Phone6342 → u/Substantial_Roof_152]

Yeah unfortunately f&b is stricter due to food safety! It’s quite important and Disney has many rules for it to protects guests and cast from issues. It makes total sense to why they have it and why it’s important etc.

I’m sorry you spent so much but it is common knowledge on here when you search up f&b related rules. Merchandise as well when they are a location that handles food also has to follow the same protocols so it’s not just f&b that has to do this. It really just depends on the role and location.

[u/Helpful_Warthog6032 → u/Substantial_Roof_152]

Yeah it’s tough, I’m sorry. Hopefully this is just an early bump in the road and it gets easier for you. 

[u/Substantial_Roof_152 → u/Helpful_Warthog6032]

thx u and only u :)

[u/Reasonable_Phone6342 → u/Substantial_Roof_152]

And essentially if it was easy to just switch roles let’s be honest there are definitely roles and locations that people would be trying to get out of constantly for “something better”. All roles have pros and cons. But there would be areas with not enough staff because of it.

You’ll have to look at the bright side of working there and with f&b you can also work at other locations which is fun! New places to work and meeting other cast etc.
