Did you see that Mattel accidentally printed the URL to an adult website on its packaging for its new Wicked dolls?! Parents are understandably furious! I have to imagine someone is getting fired for that one

Yep lol. Though I doubt many kids are googling URLs on their toy boxes. But the brand image will hurt.

Agreed lol but for that 1-2% who did 🥴

Wow did that really happen? Do you have a link documenting this? Thats crazy, particularly for a children's toy company. I wonder how that could even possibly happen by accident!

That is everyone's nightmare, I've suddenly had a chill late at night suddenly thinking there might be a typo in something. An URL that no one checked is horrendous, but things like that happen, people assume someone else checked it. Or it was checked and the uncorrected version was sent to the printer. Who knows, maybe the person who would have checked it was laid off some time ago.

I saw this and my first thought was that it must be purposeful on at least one employee's part. No way you can miss that. It's sad for any child who looked it up :(

It’s insane that wasn’t caught but can understand how it would happen

So I called my PM to ask what was happening, and she said that she just got off the phone with the TM and said they were terminating my contract on the spot due to me speaking up about micromanaging. No explanation just kicked out. Advice?
