What will happen from July 2020?

The only way to make money with Mattel is to short the stock. Hasbro released their earnings today and we could only dream to have their numbers. It is going to be bad, very bad. We need to lay off about another 20% of the workforce just to stay... — read more 

Does anyone know why the Mattel audit team still has jobs? SEC Fraud is a fireable offense, no? Then I heard they all got big bonuses? Meanwhile the stock is in a nose-dive.

How embarrassing must it be to Mattel’s audit team who screwed the company so badly that the SEC has to step in? If layoffs are happening, the over-bloated management team needs to go first - start with the VP’s of AUDIT!

Just saying

Any chance Ynot is out and dickie is in?

The Movies will save us!!

That's the word. Good luck, all!

Mattel was never a pillar of efficiency, but it seems like if everyone actually worked 2 hours a day at home that things might actually stabilize, or at least delay the inevitable collapse. I would encourage everyone to NOT slack off, but develop a... — read more 

Can you believe it's already been seven years since Mattel launched Boom Co.? It seems like just yesterday. Think of how much the toy industry and retail landscapes have changed in those 7 years. Really gives you some perspective.

An hr source said they’re coming this month and that it will be very bad with lots of people getting lay-offed

Or just wait till it hits $3?

A little bird in el Segundo told me that nothing is really being produced. Didn’t Ynot build a whole department in LA for this? That’s what everyone here in EMEA thought. Is it fake news? I don’t know what to believe any more.

What was Ynons job? What has he to do with noon?

The stock has dipped to under ten dollars. How low can it go before its worthless? Anyone have ideas or predictions? What happens now?

That's going to be awkward at the gym.

With all the corona virus stock issues/ sales impact, just wondering if anyone has heard of any redundancies coming up? I would be surprised if there wasn’t due to the financial impact of the virus.

I'm no longer at the company, but heard that Mattel had stopped half day Fridays some time last year. Is it now an 8 to 5 business day on Fridays, or did they end up going back to the half day?

Best line I heard from a person walking through the showroom today. I’m amazed at the amount of shade we’re getting.
