Best of luck to AC. Really great guy who brought a smile to everyone he encountered in our dismal office.

Please, keep going...
Another entitled millennial who thinks everything is owed them. Look kid, keep thinking your s#!t don't smell. Just because you got a cookie just for showing up as a kid doesn't mean that's how the world works. But hey feel free to peddle your wares elsewhere if you really think you're hot s#!t. I'm sure someone else appreciates another douche somewhere else "bro".
Get grip gramps. There aren't many of you left. It's not hard to figure out who you are in the office.
To the asshole who posted about us "lifers." We have helped carry this office and mentor everyone from new hires to seasonal interns for years through good and bad because we care about this company and NOT because we are lazy, or unmotivated. We have more experience in our pinky finger than most of the people in this office. DO NOT MISTAKE OUR STAYING HERE FOR BEING ANYTHING SHORT OF US CARING ABOUT OUR JOBS, and helping keep your bitter asses employed. The back biting in this office has to stop already. I'm sick of this shit.
True, probably another old school lifer who keeps waxing poetic about the "good old days." Wah.
"I agree that we're over worked, understaffed, and I have little faith that it will change. I wasn't saying that I feel like I have job security" Yet you stay and don't look for something else? This is the unmotivated low morale lackluster ethos that is tanking the NYC office. Leave if you're unhappy with the office! WE DON'T NEED YOU! GO!!
I agree that we're over worked, understaffed, and I have little faith that it will change. I wasn't saying that I feel like I have job security but that has nothing to do with how we treat each other. All I'm saying is that the majority of the staff is friendly and we get alone great.
Complain all you want about what's wrong with the office. Constructive criticism is awesome as long as you can do it without needlessly insulting someone.
It is beyond hilarious how fast everyone is jumping into to proclaim how wonderful & Rodney the NYC office is...if it's so wonderful
Why is there such a following on the LAYOFFS.COM? Oh that's right because there are never ending layoffs. Ok, let's see how friendly everyone is when YOU'RE the next one in line for LAYOFFS. Keep drinking the koolaid everyone. See how you feel then.
Dear @EMe6Zk4-affi
Another angry, insulting, ignorant reply. Don't knock the "doe eyed" designers. They may refer to me as vintage but I still recognize that they bring energy and fresh ideas to our company. I'm a veterin in this industry and I still don't hate anyone. Are you capable of commenting without needlessly insulting someone...or everyone? The fact that you used the slang "twink" completely invalidates every other word you so eloquently chose. What does someone's sexual orientation have to do with anything? Your cruel and offensive remarks have no place in a childrens toy company. If you despise it here, if you're so knowledgable and superior, why don't you leave?
Please stop posting your hurtful comments in a public forum. You're not helping. Believe it or not the majority of the office is happy, friendly, and accepting but I guess I can see how that would make it a pretty intolerable place for a bigot.
Anyone who considers the NYC office not to be toxic has got to be one of the doe eyed young designers that are too new and to oblivious to see what's really happening here. Yes, we are a skeleton crew (No ML jokes please, the guy has taken more of a pounding here than the office twink), but we are projected to have a lower forecast for this holiday season and the finger pointing is already starting. Marketing rumblings, already pointing the finger at design, structure, packaging, content. Same crap every year, just wearing thinner this year because of all the loses we've experienced. Deal with it. Playtime's over kiddies. It's a job, and not as cool a job as it used to be.
@EMe6Zk4-9geh I think it's just one or two grumpy souls contaminating the website with their hate. Most of us are super friendly and like working together. I've been working in the NYC office for years and I really don't feel like it's a toxic work environment.
Wow! Just saw this painful thread. This forum has the potential to be a powerful tool to evoke change in our company as long as we treat it like adults. If we call out real problems in a well thought out and dignified way maybe someone will take it seriously and actually consider taking action. But if we use it to lash out at people with childish remarks the site will just be ignored. I for one think ML is crazy talented and kind of adorable but how does that opinion help change the way our office works? Talk about how our work load is way too intense imbalanced. Talk about misappropriated spending. Or how about something positive for once! We're doing amazing things with a skeleton crew. Be constructive, not destructive.
Man you guys in NY are in serious need of group therapy. You sure f@(&-inch hate each other. How do you even go to work everyday?
Whoever called ML dirty obviously hasn't gotten close enough. He smells like fresh cut lumber and gin. That spineless bully has it all wrong. ML is a great guy and one of the most talented people I've worked with.
well I can see why he left
with that type hate under the surface and homophobia who would want to stay!
really sorry for the good folks in NY
and thank you to everyone that has stood up to that bully !!!!
Seriously. Just another internet troll with more anger than brain power. EMe6Zk4-4rff needs to eat some chocolate or maybe take a nap before picking up their phone. Maybe that will keep them from writing awful slanderous posts like that. Don't let them get you down, ML. We have big love for you.
I've known ML for years and I have to say he's one of the most creative designers I've ever known. He has multiple patents and award winning designs but apparently one incredibly immature and spineless internet troll knows better. You want to pick on him for being skinny? Are you 10? Grow up.
@EMe6Zk4-4rff this is so low - I am really sorry for you, it must be so painful to live with so much anger and mental venom
Q-Tip RAGE!!!
watch out q-tip is going to whack you upside your head with his quirky half a skateboard!
Cowardly. This doesn't sound like someone from the design team. I'm so happy to learn that the "Anonymous" IP post address can be tracked (it is the Internet, the same place where everything is tracked and has an IP address)0. I hope "@EMe6Zk4-4rff" has a back up plan. See you in the office :)
What a douche bag comment. I hope you get hit by a bus
Seriously? How does that dirty Q-Tip frankenstein with AIDS hipster turd survive with his crap designs?
Looks like ML will be screwing that trader joes PB since he won't have AC's ass to ride anymore.
Thanks everyone......I didn't know anyone was watching. Also there's a jar of trader Joe's peanut butter (75% full) in the fridge, it's up for grabs.
JT. we need a silver fox sex symbol.
He was the twerking twerKING!
I love the way he would twerk like nobody was watching
Now that he's gone, there's a new opening for "hunkiest in the office". Who do you all think will take the top spot?
I will miss his chest hair the most.
SWOON his ginny machismo. My panties are all steamed up.
He was so cute too.. .I loved watching him eat a PB&J sandwhich every 10 minutes of the day.
