OK all you naysayers, ass kissers, mildly retarded hopeful saps, and cowardly Directors and above (who we know are watching this site). We all know the re-org (if not rolling layoffs) is on it's way so the location, then people you see moving and or moving on from the job:

Locations include: ES, EA, NYC, Mega, AG, radicahahahahahahahaha! Sorry, I forgot they were promised an existence but were dissolved to nothing in the stomach juices of the corporate machines belly!

Would anyone complain if it was either? Hopefully their exit comes with another all employee ice cream party.

If this prediction is true, please oh please let it be one of the directors in NYC, God save us all!

What's the difference between an alien abduction and a day working at Mattel? The day after the abduction you think you may have been violated.

Puh-leeeeeeze. VP's and Directors will offer up their underlings for sacrifice before any of them go. Judge by the widespread piss poor reviews that are being handed out.

The rolling layoffs will kick in tomorrow or Friday. won't be a lot but just enough to keep folks on edge and upper mgmt validating their failures by firing underlings who followed their orders. true cover your ass mentality.

Yeah, who is that Matt guy? I think I heard Richard brought him from the Jones group? He sure dresses spiffy, but he never talks to anyone and as far as I can tell hasn't really contributed anything major. But then again I never really understood that position. It seems like it has an overlap with Marcomm. And I don't get Marcomm either--why can't we just vend out our internal advertising (or whatever it is Marcomm does)?? We'd probably save a lot of money and have better quality brand-messaging.

yes BS created NAD but RD split marketing into 2 groups within GBT. how else do you get Matt R back in? heh heh heh...

I thought it was BS that created the GBT/NAD split, not RD. When RD returned in 2014 he hinted in his "unplugged" sessions that he didn't understand why they were split.

RD created the brand marketing division and the product marketing division to winnow the weak from the strong. obviously the setup didn't make any sense. now that he has top GMs in place he can get them to do the dirty work of consolidating the marketing groups back and then laying off the chaff right before bonus season. the company obviously has a lot of marketing people that don't actually do marketing. if you are one of them or don't have any friends in high places you better polish up your resume.

GBT and NAD merger confirmed and pieces already starting to move (Lori P SVP Highs). Look for weaker marketing staff to be let go as part of the consolidated.

With Evelyn and Voss being shown the door, can't imagine Stephanie will last much longer - she no longer has friends to protect her.
