Nice comp for putting a company near bankruptcy. She is totally incompetent for this company and role. C’mon Board take action for once.

Stanley speaks on our behalf to RD, M-Go and all the other professional idiots in upper management and BoD who have shamelessly pi$$ed away the reputation, talent, and future of our once-proud company. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIiMt9GgyDY

https://news.mattel.com/news/mattel-expands-partnership-with-tynker-setting-goal-to-introduce-10-million-kids-to-coding-by-2020. What a crock of shi+e! Mattel knows nothing and cares even less about coding and STEM educational toys. Even if Tynker... — read more 

Somebody here said old man Sinclair is out. High time, but Googling finds no record of that. Find that useless geezer! He belongs on Skid Row. Possibly prison.

Shi+storm, that is! Witness Mattel's disruptive NOT toy, P--paroos. Our latest derivative, copycat, catch-up product. A pity it lacks Wifi AR+VR. It's the end of Q1 and we all know that more layoffs are imminent, but it sure looks all peaceful inside... — read more 

Now that Toys R Us is as good as gone, how long do you think it will take before we feel the absence in our bottom line and those on top decide to solve the issue the only way they can - with layoffs? Mattel is having issues as it is, this will just... — read more 

So, I was just on TRU board, and it seems that the latest strategy to save the company is wait for it...wait for it... a gofundme.com campaign! It's both laugh out loud funny and sad. Now it feels like the world is simply making fun of us and what we... — read more 

I can't think of another stock besides Mattel that porpoises up and down 10% every other day. What a ride for our poor investors. There's absolutely no good news to be told, so when the stock rises, it's only because there hasn't been any bad news... — read more 

Anyone trying to go back? Looking to go freelance? Whats the plan of action?

Yet another company not being accountable for their failures. Glad the guy who started the company died the day before their demise was announced. Probably died of a very wealthy broken heart. So what's Mattel's excuse? When is the chapter 11 filing?... — read more 

Investors feel confident - stocks go up. Investors feel scared - stocks go down. Why are Mattel stocks down?? Investors, simple as that. Huge changes have happened. The revolution is underway. But do the investors “get it?” Of course not! Zero... — read more 

What are you hoping for? There is no plan. There is no miracle product. There is only the consequences of lack of accountability, lack of decisiveness and an unwillingness to change the way things are run. If you are a fan of survivor then stay... — read more

This is a slow, downward spiral. The “plan” from the top is to cut $650 million in operating costs just to break even and take on more debt at the same time. The “restructuring” has just meant cutting jobs from the top to the lowest levels with no... — read more 

From what I've been hearing through the grapevine, it's looking like a 2nd quarter bankruptcy likely. MGo alluded to this at the last earnings call, saying "We have taken aggressive action to enter 2018 with a clean slate so we can reset our economic... — read more 

ZERO activity on Hasbro's Layoff.com page for FIVE YEARS except for one bonehead question 4 months ago about Hasbro buying Mattel. That's a well-run company. Why? Because everyone from the CEO down has years of toy experience. They are everything we... — read more 

Only a matter of time until Mattel calculates the financial fallout they will suffer from Toys R Us demise. Wouldn't be surprised if it results in a layoff of 10% or more of the staff in the coming month.

A previous poster predicted a big "Rebound" This is the editing department, need to make a correction to that post. It's not a "rebound" coming, it's a "re-possession" of Mattel employees' cars when they get canned. I've also made a recommendation to... — read more

Sell off FP and AG. It could be a win win for everyone.

Working at Mattel has been rough sometimes. Layoffs s---, we all can agree on that. I feel for those let go. I've been lucky so far, but that could change, and I know that. People come and go come and go again. There are some really negative people... — read more 

Both the Toys 'R' Us and KB Toys LBOs were orchestrated by Bain Capital. In 2005, Bain teamed up with KKR & Co. and Vornado Realty Trust to take over Toys 'R' Us in a $7.5-billion acquisition. The acquisition saddled Toys 'R' Us with so much debt, it... — read more

There is little chance a monopoly the size of HAS + MAT would be allowed. The Sherman Anti-Trust Act is not an easy nut to crack.

Mattel execs have beaten the words nimble & disruptive to death. Large corporations aren’t capable of being nimble. Focus should be on efficiency not buzz words.

Let's see. Mattel has been in the crapper for nearly four years. About when RD came on board. Coincidence? Nah. Stock was over $40. Since then, it's been wave after wave of layoffs. Good people were let go in desperation. Lots of experience just... — read more

Game over. Every US store gone. And anyone here who thinks that's no big deal is a complete moron. This will be catastrophic for us.

What happens now? Is anyone surprised by this? Can we avoid bankruptcy ourselves?

Do you even know how to toy?
