Thread regarding Mattel Inc. layoffs

Im retired, but FP was amazing prior to Mattel acquiring them! So was AG…the quality of their product was unmatched, but as with everything Mattel just destroyed the best in all that it acquired.

@d6 is anyone still around that remembers either company prior to the acquisition? That was in 1993.

@cr Same with AG. Either old, incompetent, or both

New COO is $teve Tot$ki , a return player bailing on his position at $pinmasters. Good luck . With all the changes, Ynot was blowing steam up everybody’s a$$!

@av turns out that’s because ST is back

@d6, maybe take a hard look at whats been happening right in front of you.
Every company that Mattel has acquired has suffered a similar fate. The strong ones like FP manage to hold on a little longer, but regardless, the poison that is Mattel eventually cuts out the very soul of what made every acquired company great. So if you need to blame FP for Mattel being who they’ve always been, well then, have at

Mattel was a great place before they acquired Fisher-Price

@av ea leadership is a bunch of old dudes - only the GM seems to have a clue, everyone else has been there too long and needs to be rotated out, it’s time. And they know it. That’s probably what you’re picking up on.

@b4 they're definitely not building something. Likely for the sale

I saw someone surveying FP campus last week. Is this an indication a sale is pending? Or are they building something?

Something is off with EA leadership. They're all in a funk and seem like there's impending doom

@aa your mom? Ynot?

What a stupid question.... Who would name the source

Source?

I Made It Up

@a2 for sure.... Something's coming

@a1 with the appearance of packing for the move they will have the opportunity to layoff much easier for the acquisition

The leaks surrounding this are coming from leadership and their lack of quashing rumors is proof. They're letting the rumor out in the wild to dull the impact. When they finally tell us, none of us will be surprised.
