Thread regarding Mattel Inc. layoffs

Total so far?

News reports say 2,200 will be laid off. I saw somewhere (WaPost maybe) that less than half of that will be in the US.

20 this week at AG HQ and 100 at AG retail. Anyone have numbers for other locations?

„Frankly the whole company will likely be sold by May 2020.“

Is that right?

every time a company lays people off they have to notify the state (california) prior. that should be public info that anyone can look up. do your homework slackers.

Clearly they lied to investors about the number of people they were planning on firing, ended up being nowhere close to that number, oh and they also lied about closing factories and moving manufacturing to independently owned plants. Lots of lies at each earnings call these days.

You think the company is in 1 year sold?

Heard another round in August. But that could be EU as I understand labor laws are more favorable to workers so the axe men need more ramp up time. Frankly the whole company will likely be sold by May 2020.

The numbers aren’t adding up so does that mean there’s another round in a few days or next week ?

EA didn't feel that bad. Ynot said mostly behind the scenes support roles let go, so maybe thats what it doesn't feel like a big one.

We are all puzzled. I am in ES and it did not feel that bad.

I have no clue how they came up with 2,200... I am astonished.
