Today's the day at FP...

Thoughts?

What is the current Mattel severance formula?

Incredibly sad, but not surprised to hear what is happening to Fisher-Price. Since acquiring FP, Mattel has burdened this once great company with its price value su-king cost structure. Just like a parasite, pillaging and su-king profits till there... — read more

We raked in a buttload of money with Barbie - both the movie and the products that flew off the shelves in the last few months. I thought we were doing well enough for once not to have to worry about layoffs. So what the he-l is going on? What needs... — read more

Do you think there may be small/medium/large Mattel layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Major layoffs at Hasbro. Considering that Mattel stock also fell this week, I would be surprised if we're not next on the list for layoffs.

Our illustrious leader E-no has banned kids from the building during Halloween So much for being a toy company for kids So much for creating a inspiring environment So much for having reasons to stay at Mattel

I'm just not sure what or who will save us next year.

Some stuff just went down at the tower. No details yet.

I swear, this company is led by incompetent mo--ns. Instead of realizing why Barbie is doing as well as it is (great storytelling, not a sequel, something fresh, going back to the roots of filmmaking instead of focusing solely on CGI, etc.) the... — read more

Let’s get ready to rumble

Fisher price was once a respected toy company with lots of creative products sought after by parents…. Then Mattel happened

Mattel hasn't tweeted since Nov 14, 2022. Is the social media team completely out to lunch or what's going on?

Give it a few months and you'll be able to buy their stock at just as low if not lower a price than Mattels. :D

Ynon, the beast will sell Mattel and then old-age pension

Is there any hope of retirement offers soon? It’s been a while now.

How safe are we for the rest of the month?
