Mattel is currently hiring
Just looked and their site says: "We've found 27 Mattel Jobs near you!" So they're replacing the layed-off with cheaper employees. Or they're just id–ts.
On July 1st, Mattel posted across all it's social media celebrating Canada Day, but on July 4th, not a peep from them.
Was this just a unfortunate oversight or a deliberate decision? What are your thoughts on Mattel publicly celebrating Canada Day but not the Fourth of July?
New CFO
Mattel Appoints Anthony DiSilvestro As CFO
Congratulations!
Congratulations everybody, you've stooped to bickering about 'wokeness' and fighting with each other vs holding the goons at the top responsible. Mattel status quo. RD's problem is not solely his stupid Linkedin posts (although those are pretty f'ing... — read more
Richard, stop with the irrelevant headlines, PLEASE!
Richard - can you please stop posting headlines about disingenuous statements about every single social media crisis of the day and MAKE A PROFIT!!!!! All this social unrest is important - but it’s second for Mattel on the list of PRIORITIES - #1... — read more
The Black Hole of Innovation
Literally a Red Sun. Inevitable.
More Topics Deleted
It seems that yet another constructive discussion on racism has been purged from this site. Nothing in these threads appears to violate the rules regarding content on this website, so it's unclear why they keep getting deleted. I feel strongly... — read more

CARES Act
Did Mattel participate in the CARES Act? If so, they are obliged to keep the majority of employees through a certain date only. Furloughed employees need to be back on by end of June, if returning.
CEO 2019 bonus!!
$4.4M!! And Dickie d—son.. $1.9M! They don’t care about the health of Mattel!! They are laughing all the way to the bank! Forget saving jobs! forget doing the right thing! We are swirling the drain and the board rewards them!
Time is up
This is an open letter to Enon: It’s time you wash your hands of RD. In the 6 years he’s been back, he’s authored lots of marketing ideas (that cost more than they’re worth) but not ONE of them has been a commercial success - which is what Mattel so... — read more
WHO Got Laid Off, Exactly?
Enough bi+ching aleady, we know Mattel $uck$. How many people, what departments, which jobs?
MATTEL S---S
This is the worst workplace!!!!!!! Talk about culture and wellness its all complete b—s— & no one cares!!ynon doesn’t care at all - RD being next CEO? Zero chance. The layoffs prove management has no clue. Basically Reputation inside totally... — read more
Ex-employee’s perspective on Mattel’s demise
I have worked at many Fortune 500s, including Mattel when it was one. Management is terrible. They lack vision, execution and courage to adapt. I thought that getting a CEO from the entertainment industry was a smart move, but most of the other... — read more
L.A. County stay-at-home orders to last to July .
This is getting ridiculous.
Can we survive this?
With our current leadership? We were doing badly as it is, I don't see us coming back from this mess unscratched - or at all. I think we'll be joining Toys R' Us very soon...
I as laid off in the most recent blood-letting
I just walked the lay-off bridge. Thank goodness I can enjoy Christmas for the first time in forever. Now just that ‘little’ detail about dismal personal finances and lack of immediate job prospects.
Last 5 years
Has seen RD as the President and COO and a downward spiral. The c suite has changed over 2x and the CEO 4!! What is the common denominator here!?? We have a defunct BOD who clearly have no since of decency or ethics as the continent to FAIL the... — read more
Covid-19 is responsible for dismal earnings??
Who the heck are we kidding!? And who’s paying the Mad Money guy??
Capital Light=Mattel Dead
Ynon's new buzzword "Capital Light" sure sounds great but it means the end of Mattel. It means short-term, short sighted, low-risk, no innovation, licensed toys. As if we weren't playing it too safe for decades: Bratz coulda been ours, it was home... — read more
Earnings report
Bad, worse, or the worst? Discuss.
You need to be able to play the game your management plays
To the person saying "how hard is it to stay out of the bottom 4%" It's not so simple at Mattel. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder: if you don't fit in to whomever is in charge of your Mattel destiny, you are in trouble. There are PLENTY of people... — read more
Q1? More like Q-WTF!
NPD says overall toys sales were up 8%. Hasbro reports sales up 20%. Mattel posts a 14% DECLINE in sales! What the heck are you people doing?!
Who got cut from Hot Wheels?
The most irreverent toy out there.
Stock back under $8 after dismal earnings
Let's see if Ynon can talk the price back up on the earning call with the usual nonsense and lies.
Have layoffs started?
Just wondering. Former staffer, happy to be gone. For anyone who did get laid off: life is much better outside of the archaic management structure and "we've always done it this way" mentality.
Government
What will happen from July 2020?
Short the stock!!!
The only way to make money with Mattel is to short the stock. Hasbro released their earnings today and we could only dream to have their numbers. It is going to be bad, very bad. We need to lay off about another 20% of the workforce just to stay... — read more
Mattel Layoffs 2020 - due to Internal Audit Team Fraud
Does anyone know why the Mattel audit team still has jobs? SEC Fraud is a fireable offense, no? Then I heard they all got big bonuses? Meanwhile the stock is in a nose-dive.
Mattel audit team screwed the company
How embarrassing must it be to Mattel’s audit team who screwed the company so badly that the SEC has to step in? If layoffs are happening, the over-bloated management team needs to go first - start with the VP’s of AUDIT!
Forget about any bonuses for a few years
Just saying
Placing bets?
Any chance Ynot is out and dickie is in?
It’s okay!!
The Movies will save us!!
Lay-Off's Start Friday?
That's the word. Good luck, all!
Lost in Space
Mattel has been a dying star for a decade, coasting off its stellar reputation from last millennium. Now it's collapsing in on itself and being strangled by the very fabric of space time. The toy universe will continue without us in the post-corona... — read more

This should not be your “forever” job.
Don't get too comfortable with work from home
What do you think is going to happen after this is done and Mattel realizes there are so many jobs that can be done remotely? Do you really think you'll be the one still doing it? I have a feeling outsourcing will not be limited to mostly... — read more
