This place is hot damn mess
Going to be hard to take the "unlimited" vacation time with the mixed message of "we need you in the office more hours a week"
I would... it was hard enough to take leave without having the boss saying something sarcastic or giving you a face, at least half day off can get some real time off
I'll bet given the choice, most would give up "unlimited" vacation time in exchange for half Fridays back.
The head of HR does indeed have crazy eyes. Always seems a little too happy 😀 😬
Company is pure evil along with all upper management. Head lady in HR is nuts and is responsible for this.
Maybe some “lazy” Exempt employees didn’t show up on Fridays but Non-exempt employees have to show up in order to get paid. Also, Exempt employees have unlimited vacation & can work from home 1 day per week which they can do every Friday if their dept head says ok. Non-exempt employees are being treated incredibly unfair because they’re being made to work more hours for the same pay with zero benefit. What a colossal failure in basic management.
This happened cause many lazy people in ES never showed up on Fridays. It is a ghost town on Fridays and would all pretend that they were working from home. Logic was that the long commute is not worth the 5hr day.
How well did that work out for us all?
What better way to tell your loyal employees to feck off? 3 weeks notice they’re terminating a decades old employee benefit giving zero consideration to parents who need to arrange for child care & after school transportation now that they’ll be working all day Fridays. This is an added expense that surely Mattel’s uber wealthy executives didn’t considered since they all can afford full-time staff. If you’re an hourly employee guess what? You’re going to work an extra hour each week for the exact same pay. So that extra week of vacation they gave everyone earlier this year? You’re actually earning it. Of course you knewthere had to be a catch. And if you’ve been with the company 10+ years you had already maxed out your paid vacation so you’re giving the company an extra week of free labor. Nothing says Wonder like screwing over your employees. Mattel’s next movie will be called “Mattel Breaks the Internet” because all Mattel employees will be swarming the job sites today. But I’m sure that’s exactly what Yyawn intended.
Just when we thought morale couldn’t get any lower...
Had to be something we can do to change his mind. This is one our best benefits. This is a sad sad day.
More fake news. Sad.
89 years later and it’s suddenly an issue. Shrinking benefits. Lies and deception. Ego forward. Grandparents who were never taught how to be people managers. Ever wonder why we’re never on any best places to work lists?! Lmao.
Everyone needs to leave so these upper management id--ts can actually work for the millions they take home. And I bet they’ll never see a Friday afternoon.....
True for all campuses
Truth - just announced via email.
Thats the plan but they’re scared to enforce it yet cause they know there will be mutiny
Hourly employees who don’t get unlimited time off will be screwed
Even if they did everyone would just use unlimited time off to retain the benefit.
