With our stellar management team we continue to fall further into the abyss. Does anyone on the Board have any idea what is going on?

So the 15th floor codenamed the redundancy plan Project Titan. WTF is this? A bunch of 12 year olds playing with G.I. Joe and making up codenames. A--holes.

How has this fool not been let go? His value add is zero. Actually, it’s sub-zero given his propensity to spend in excess on non-business driving ballyhoo set only to impress himself while making the rest of our lives and brands a living hell. He’s... — read more 

Any indication that there will be layoffs this week?

I think the least you could do as a CEO is send an template email to all your employees saying “thanks” is it too much to ask for?

What to make of the new leadership being sent out the door, only to reinstall the lifers. Kitty says this may be a good thing. But what does kitty know that we don't?

Is it true the Good man is now running procurement and contract manufacturing? How can you get a senior job in areas you’ve never been part of who. Did ME decide this all on his own or did the old Mattel boys network do its work again?
