Thread regarding Mattel Inc. layoffs

Fisher Price Lay Offs

People that were given offers in California and people that were on teams that weren't moved still got laid off yesterday. People who got offers, still technically have a job but have to go through the whole motions of being laid off until their offers are finalized. It feels bizarre. HR set up a Q and A session that was very useless today. They couldn't answer half the questions. One issue they glossed over was Mattel's request to be informed if employees work for a competitor within two years after leaving the company. Two years? WTF. This seems questionable as non-compete agreements were recently prohibited in California and New York. What legal ground are they standing on asking for this? Are they threatening repercussions for working for competitor or not reporting this information? How are non competes still legal in 2024

Also, the people that still have your jobs at the EA campus, I suggest looking for another job soon. They hope to burn you into the groundThis is part 1 of fully dismantling the FP campus. They closed the whole model shop as well..

Are any departments unaffected by this?

With Mattel, it's always about money, they may have to keep x number of people in EA due to tax breaks they got in the past or want in the future.

Just move on to the next thing. Some peeps have been milking it for years. They should have used that time to brush off the portfolio and resume and be ready.
Everyone is replaceable unfortunately.
Except for Executives. They are gold, Jerry Gold!
