Overview
- Ong’s lawsuit claims his 2025 bonus fell to $325,000 from $367,117 and his incentive award dropped to $620,000 from $770,000, while his $550,000 base salary remained the same.
- He says he was told the reductions were not tied to his performance despite being rated “exceptional” and running a division described as record‑profitable with roughly $500 million in revenue.
- The filing alleges HR vice president Natalia Strauch labeled him a poor “cultural” fit in February 2025 and contacted his executive coach without permission to “dig up dirt.”
- The suit asserts his experience is part of a broader pattern of discrimination against employees of Asian descent at Disney.
- Ong remains employed in Burbank overseeing Marvel Games, Lucasfilm Games, and Disney & Pixar Games, and the company has not publicly commented on the case.
