Severance Package at Mattel Is a Disgrace
- Share via
I am deeply disturbed that Mattel’s board of directors would approve such a disgraceful severance package for Matthew Bousquette (“Ex-Executive to Receive $6.9 Million From Mattel,” Dec. 29).
The board’s decision reflects a total disregard for equity at a time when some Mattel employees have been laid off and our society is in the midst of a crisis of a growing gap between the haves and the have-nots.
As a society we need to find equitable solutions to this disgraceful, if not unethical, decision making. My concern is that we could have a nationwide revolution if these decisions go unchecked.
