Toy giant Mattel reported that their CEO, Robert Eckert, will retire at the end of the year. The company made the announcement using their inside voice.
Eckert has headed the company for 11 years. And now he’s winding down.
During the time he has lead the company, he has also learned a lot about sharing and waiting your turn.
Allegedly, Eckert got really tired of everyone at the company playing games with him.
The CEO will be replaced by an electronic version of Eckert.
Eckert says that once he retires from the toy business, he’s looking forward to more play time.
Luckily for Eckert, his predecessor, CEO Barbie, left really tiny shoes to fill.
As exiting CEO, Eckert has an attractive retirement package, but of course, batteries are not included.
