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.

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.

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.

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

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

Can't survive on old glory
