The stock market is rolling over. Mattel's stock is in free fall crash mode. DC license has been lost. More layoffs coming. Who's excited to start the new year!?!

What is there to cry over regarding DC comics. You only lost it for Boys action figures (which you were TERRIBLE at). Leave that category to the competent big boys, and stick to tiny toy cars and useless fashion dolls. BTW, Imaginext has been carrying this license for a decade because the people in the toy box don’t know how to be creative or competitive in boys action.
Mattel has been clueless on the DC license since they took it on and had butterface SN leading the way to get nerd cred doing more interviews than releasing decent product (an intolerable tool to work for). The product has always been sub-par and the recent cost reduction in articulation with a price increase is pitiful. I’ll bet anyone a 2019 years salary at mattel (which will be 2-3 months if most of you are lucky) that it’s next stop will produce stellar product.
Why bother coming back to work? Unlimited vacay YO. I wonder how long I can stay out until they figure out how to fire me. I bet I can go 3 months on vacation getting paid before they get it together in HR.
