I gotta wonder how the Millennials will deal with all the current tragedies. No bonus, their Bitcoin bubble is bursting, and El Segundo temperatures have dropped into the 60s on these short winter days. Their hands and hearts are cold and empty... — read more
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.
Time to Part this Place Out
Mattel stock remains in the doldrums as the Market is setting new records. It's over for Mattel, our leadership is a bad joke. The people running the business are only running it into the ground. Time to sell off our major brands and sell them... — read more
What's the general feeling at AG about being a Mattel subsidiary?
What's the general feeling at AG about being a Mattel subsidiary? 2018 marks the 20th anniversary of us acquiring you, and yet I always get a feeling of resentment towards your parent company from you guys, almost as if the association with Mattel... — read more

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.
The No Accountability Company for Senior Mgmt
The quarter will be a complete disaster and CS, RD and Miss NoGo will continue with big bonuses too. What's up with this place when the peons pay the price and the top lives on despite ongoing failures.

Told you fools we should have done a tesla. no one listens.
LOVE American Girl's new campaign!

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.
Toys R Us down 15% YoY during Christmas
If even toy sales are down so badly versus 2016, how in the world could overall retail have had a good christmas, as the news is saying? Yeah, call me crazy for suspecting it's BS, but I've now seen how execs, managers, all kinds of supposedly... — read more

One or two trolls entertaining us all.
Reading the negative posts, what becomes obvious rather quickly, is that there is only 1 MAYBE 2 trolls here. The complaints are the same, the foul language is the same, etc. So, bravo! You are very entertaining and humorous and seem to have gathered... — read more
The Irony of Pantone 219C
How ironic that Barbie pink (Pantone 219C) is also the official color of "pink slip" firing notices? In better days, that color created so many careers here. Now it is ending careers. Way to myopically manage the brand, "upper management"! Bet you'd... — read more
Hasbro Employees, Arise!
Even if Hasbro the corporation can't acquire Mattel due to antitrust reasons, there's nothing to stop Hasbro employees from raising enough cash to buy Mattel. With the stock at laughable lows, we can raise more than enough cash with a few car washes... — read more
Layoffs
So What happens if I'm laid off while I'm out on disability? Will they call or wait till I'm back. Is there anyway to know?
Choose your fuel and feed your actions.
Some observations from one point of view: We work for a public, for-profit company going through hard times. Period. It’s simply the truth. Financial declines are not one-person’s fault. How would that even be possible? We’re a multi billion-dollar... — read more
The elephant in the room is a troll.

Yes, I'm pitching a new male action (oops, person inaction) line, M-Go, RD, CS and the whole BoD wearing capes & tights. No superpower, superspeed or supersmarts required. And like He Man and WWF figures, they only have one tired action, endlessly... — read more
One request to the Dump Defender with a high IQ
Before you go on a rant or even post anything at all could you please remind us all of the current Stock price? 14.60 now, no? By the time you post the numbers should be... Come on genius, keep track of the numbers and remind us all.
Shhhhhh. There’s no point in this mindless bickeringatu
The numbers say it all. Plunging to junk status. I wonder if the next low points are steaming pile of crap status and desperate no where to go but down with the ship status. This whole thing is more fun than any piece of garbage you put out in... — read more
Headlines read: Stock is Junk, inventory is a dump and Mattel is the Biggest Loser
Yeah bud. You got me. (in case your IQ isn’t up to par, that’s called irony.). Loser. No seriously: Biggest Loser. And stop trying to prove how smart you are. You’re the idiot stuck there with no where to go. Someone call Dr. Pimplepopper cause that... — read more

Fisher-Price: The untouchables have nothing on us!
We are safe. We are solid and once again the AMAZING TALENTED FOLKS at FP (NYC & EA) will carry your sorry backsides in ES for a few more months until the next layoff when you’re culled once again. You can’t mess with success folks. Things might not... — read more
Junk Status as of Today
Congrats! Thanks RD! Hasbro help!
Can't survive on old glory
Mattel is reminding me of Mike Brady in Brady Bunch Movie. Taking the same house design from the 1970’s and constantly adding one tweak to it to pretend is something new. This is the perfect description of Mattel if I ever saw one. How long did the... — read more
This was low, even for Mattel
Laying people off this close to Christmas is especially low, even for the soulless train-wrack Mattel has become. Did they wait for the worst possible moment to do this? Not to mention, layoffs are the last thing Mattel needs right now. Without... — read more
