Thread regarding Mattel Inc. layoffs

The cost to maintain all the VP's

So how many VP's were shown the door? Cause in my book, Mattel will never be able to sell product at a competitive price as long as the corporation is saddled with the high VP count.

Consumers have learned that the higher price for Mattel products doesn't deliver on the "higher" quality expectation any more. Most of Mattel's product at or below $20 looks like it belongs to the type found at food markets or sundry type of stores.

The cost to maintain all the VP's and their support personnel is one of the major obstacles to getting Mattel back on its feet. If anyone can share the actual percentage of VP's, out of the total in the U.S. facilities, that would be most interesting to see...

To validate all that we suspect based on observation (reserved parking slots go on and on and on).

LOL on that last comment but I must confess that I've never heard him talk but did know of his useless butt kissing reputation. Also heard that he has the propensity of throwing others under the bus. Luckily I never had to hear him talk because I didn't even like the look of that mutt. Some sort of cross breeding experiment gone wrong.........

the only engine wrong way is blowing is cliche clown's. why else is someone like wrong way still be around. you just need 5 seconds around him to hear him talk and know that he just makes sh-- up. the guy takes 2 hours just to write a single email. and he'll make you go round and round on something because he doesn't actually know what will work. it really doesn't take long to realize who is blowing whose engine.

That the 3 top so called leaders of Hot Wheels can't even draw, render, or can't even tell the difference between one make of car, wheel, or engine from another & one of those 3 is a born & bred MattHell Marketing guy his entire career? Really? & Wrong Way thinks when someone describes a blown engine he thinks that means the engine is going to actually blow up? What an idiot, he doesn't know the difference between a blower vs. carbs, or fuel injection. Totally useless SVP, VP, & Director.

The two so called managers reporting to them are also not car guys, one just likes to eat & talk extremely loud & pontificate & the other just sits there with his hand on his face with this look of extreme concentration. Nice leadership Dickson.

who are you kidding? no VP's were shown the door and they won't be as long as there are employees reaching the ripe old age of 40 they can push them out, hire someone younger, cheaper and reduce cost and save their pitiful asses. that's the way the wheel rolls. preach.

The fact that ClicheClown is still employed at this company proves that upper management is clueless. Nobody has failed more than him only to be rewarded.

Also, anyone who's worked here for 10 years or more can clearly see how the reserved parking spaces have quadrupled. It's ridiculous. "But the stock is up!" -_-

Coffee K-fu*k That's what they call that.

Either they want productivity to go down or folks to be further demoralized and quit

I believe it's time for a work stoppage!!!

Every one should start taking fun Fridays and just not show up

I was told when I got my job way back when, I got 4 fun Fridays a year

Well I never stopped taking them!!!

Do nothing but travel Directors & Sr. Directors must be thrown in on that list as they receive a larger bonus & a parking spot as well. Hell, I'd throw in Managers as well because 95% of them do absolutely nothing towards the actual work of concept design or rendering B-Shts. They're just surf the web & go to meeting trolls.

A great example is Chris ClicheClown Down expanding his office. How much does that cost while real employees (19 got whacked at AG ) who actually do the work get laid off? What a waste of money. It's what's known in the military as SNAFU - situation normal, all f...ed up or FUBAR - f...ked up beyond all recognition.

What is your major malfunction ClicheClown? ...............no wonder MattHell continues in the flat spin it's in creating it's own headwinds.

I know right? What is it with reserved parking spots? It's like living back in the 60's. It's always so uplifting to get to work early and watch all the "special people" slide in whenever they want because they have reserved parking. That is one the most ridiculous, outdated things at this circus. Maybe parking should be first come, first serve and make that an incentive because there's nothing left to be excited about. Plus it would save money having to spray paint them every year. Maybe they could save money that way instead of taking away coffee.
