Toy Fair

M-Go, you've had a year, we're expecting to see big connected things in New York. Whatcha got? Thingmaker 2? Aristotle 2? Hologram Barbie 2? Relauches of He-Man & She-ra? Was Toy Box nimble enough to come up with a Tide Pod toy in time? Don't miss... — read more

RD, please explain?

It is ludicrous, that the person at the top is not being held accountable for leading us into this mess! To say that we are all in this together, suggests that the blame for our demise be equally shared. And that is the message we get from RD. Yet RD... — read more

Just Embarrassing

Listened to MGO and Joe. Trying to put a good spin on dog squat. "We will let you know more at Toy Fair." Is that code for, "We have no clue and can't think of an excuse that you will all buy. So we need more time to string together some... — read more

RESET OUR ECONOMIC MODEL...?

Pardon me, I had to pick myself off the floor after reading MGOs prefabricated statement to Wall Street. Laughed so hard, I fell off my chair. Wow! She must think we are all delusional and buy into that load of cr$p. Nothing but word vomit. Where... — read more

Everyone's right. Millennials ARE the future yet they ARE the problem (through no fault of their own) for Mattel, every other company, and the USA in general. Fix us quick, M-Go & Donald! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As8XkJNaHbs

Down & Out in ES

Actually out with Down the Clown. M-Go, what's taking you so long to purge the talentless hacks that infest Mattel? This is a bad CD with zero interest. Dig a little, find a lot. Out with the trash! RD, you're next.

Any news on if we are going to see merits or bonuses?

Seeing how horrible the company is doing at this point I'm sure we won't, but wasn't sure if anyone had any info. Im guessing everyone's will be taken away so we can give it to RD to make sure he's satisfied.

How long to keep CEO of failing company?

M-Go was brought in one year ago. Stock price has steadily declined to half of what it was then. How long does or should a company keep a new CEO when things continue to decline? Let's face it, this all boils back to the CEO.

Not strategy but attitude

It’s not a strategy problem, it’s an attitude problem. It’s easy to point fingers at management when things are down. However, there is no “I” in team. Therefore all of you are accountable. Always remember, winning attitude brings winning results.
