Design and marketing should be safe. The CEO is always talking about how product innovation and creativity are integral to his vision of the company's future state. What's he call it, a high performance toy company or something along those lines? Seems like leadership has the Global Development & Product Supply in their cross-hairs. Good luck to everyone.

Post ID: @UjoLQbq-1jpn - The tragic loss of a member of the Mattel family. Many are also in mourning.
Designers are not safe+1 i knew five have gone
Not to rub it in, but what other sad news have you been dealing with recently?
ES lost a lot of good people today - and not burn outs, but hard working, talented, low drama, experienced people who will walk away with a lot of valuable knowledge for other companies to scoop up. We lost some awesome designers from both the boys and girls side, the publishing group, a great musician, the sweetest, hardworking admins and a great manager. So we hear it continues tomorrow.
It's been a hard few weeks for ES, a lot of sad news lately.
OMG so true
hungry Otis grads
I’m hearing Thursday for ES. I expect EA had it worse, but don’t know. This is awful...
what's going on out in ES? You guys seeing big cuts like in EA?
Don’t count on it. Design is never safe. They can have their pick of the best, hungry Otis grads right up the street and on the cheap. They like to flush out the burn outs with newly infused blood periodically. So now would be a good time, obviously.
At least two from marketing in EA
EA lost a lot of good design talent today. Not sure how marketing was effected.
