As someone who got laid off from Mattel a few years back, I can say this is actually your best day. It certainly might not feel like it now, but Mattel has absolutely lost more than you have. There are a lot of other companies looking for creative hardworking people that actually value the contributions you provide. Mattel is a creative blackhole where good ideas go to die from the suffocating hands of marketing people who think they are creative. So many of my friends who got laid off with me have moved on to exciting and vastly more satisfying positions elsewhere.

Very well said @Ui7MXnf!!! I was laid off a while ago from Mattel and I have to say it's the best thing that happened to me! Now I'm working for a much better company with much better boss and co-workers, better pay and less commute! This could happen to you too!! :-)
Lolwut?
+1, Mattel is a great place to be FROM.
I couldn't agree more with you @Ui7MXnf, well said-BRAVO!
