Thread regarding Mattel Inc. layoffs

Listen up

OK, congrats to everyone here on surviving the last several layoffs.

Now who called this meeting?

Does this meet slots & rats?

Are we on planogram?

Have we focus tested this item yet?

What does Dr. Shore say? What, we laid him off?

Well as we helicopter in for a deep dive, can we all agree to disagree?

Why did your team allow this hot mess to go this far, W? Oh, you warned them? So you're distancing yourself again?

Can our accelerator team cut the schedule in half?

Can G double-team the factories for early ship?

Is there an app for this toy?

Can you guarantee this will go viral?

How much does Bluetooth cost?

Where Is RD, not back from the gym yet?

Can I borrow his Dianetics book?

Can this item be a spinoff of the Viewmaster movie?

Get me some more name brand movie stars, and CHEAP!

I need IP and content! How quick can I see some dailies?

Do we have too many designers?

Give me a fresh MBA over a designer any day.

Look, guys, are we all in agreement that this is true innovation and there's nothing like it?

Nothing is impossible, we just need to challenge ourselves and our partners and teams to make it happen.

Sorry, I really have to take this call.

Great job guys, see you next week

Knowing how much this hits the mark, how ingrained it is, and how long-lasting is there really any solution anymore? How many CEOs? CFOs? Investors seem to recognize what employees and leadership can't bring themselves to acknowledge. It's dysfunctional to the core and culture eats strategy for lunch....
