To all of you X Mattel employees whom have gone on to do new cool things for other Toy companies...well done...Mattel stifled your creativity for years ... you leave and make the number one selling toys of the Christmas season !!! The Hasbro doll line looks great !!!
Big hug to all of you... thumbs up. Mattel's Management continue to stifle creativity and innovation, clueless, Bah Hum Bug ... time for me to leave ... I'm out of here, see ya later and good luck!
Can everyone please use names instead of initials of people? It's not always easy to figure out with just initials depending on how you know someone. I mean what's the difference? What are you trying to hide by using initials? The site is anonymous anyway and if you're talking about someone, just say it. Instead of making people try to piece it together

Speaking of ex MattHell employees..... DM, a sergeant in the PLM Propaganda Police threw his weapon down & fled his post in the bunker this week. He was one of the PLM Gestapos who forced this crappy waste of time non functioning system down our throats and he ended deserting his own damn self. Word has it that the fearful leader was not happy at all. The train wreck continues :)
I am one of the laid off ex employees that has gone to another toy company and I can honestly say I don't miss the drama, politics, inept systems and all around unhappiness! There are fantastic opportunities out there for talented team players! Getting laid off was a great thing and I am thankful to be shown the door, and greener pastures! You don't realize how sad and negative mattel is until you don't have to go there anymore and pretend everything is okay!
Yes, another exMattHell employee is now top Design Dog at Hasbro Burbank. I knew him to be a talented no nonsense just come & do your best guy. Not a member of the AKC/Ass Kissing Club/I'll throw anybody under the bus to save my own skin guy which is why he left. He, like other talented designers who left, just couldn't take the politics that still rule here. I know many great hard working Designers there who were forced out of MattHell by their insecure, talentless upper management. Yes, you are correct, the new Hasbro Frozen/Princess Line looks great & is going to do great numbers leaving Barbie/MattHell out in the cold. The company made it's own bed, unfortunately they soiled it. No worries, the newly titled rolling layoffs will save the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Off with their jobs, let them eat cake........
High probability for another soon to be HHPM (Happy n Healthy Post Mattel) member and counting.
Sorry the truth made you sad :(
Quite honestly I think that was the saddest post that I've read on this site. Good luck! Get out and be happy!!
Ex-employee successes speaks volumes about Mattel's poor management.
