Folks, please listen to some balanced people on here. Please go look for other jobs while you still can and the market is good. Mattel still has a name that will get you a job somewhere else.
Things will not get better. Margo is not a leader to turnaround this company.
Agreed, bandaid fixes- job cuts and more responsibility. We've all been set up to fail since no one has cared enough to give us the tools to succeed. I will not miss the sleepless nights and unbearable stress-
One of the sad things that I learned in this debacle is that Mattel like all other big companies has put the shareholders before the people. It’s one more thing that has contributed to the company’s demise.
You can’t do both effectively and let’s face it, decisions are made ultimately to please shareholders. And once you go down that path it’s hard to nearly impossible to get off the crack. For most companies experiencing the same thing maybe the path to redemption is truly going back to your moral center. Remember when google said their goal was to do no evil? Not so sure about that now. Take care of the people and make decisions based on what you believe in. It may not be a mega company again but at least we can all be proud of what we do.
Now who’s going to get us there?
CEO turnover is the lifeblood of this company.
I totally ageee get out now ... get your resumes ready. When a company files bankruptcy you don’t want to still be there.
No worries, even if you're right about MGO, we're do for a new CEO in the next 18 months or so anyway.
