My buddy who used to work there for over twenty five years predicted FP would be on one knee in East Aurora. Pretty sad what has happened over there.

In 2014 they got a half million in tax breaks and now 2 years later layoffs. Sending the jobs overseas is the company's prerogative but maybe IDA should revoke those tax breaks. All this is not surprising since its owned by Mattel which is a public company driven by profits.

I do not think it takes an insider to see this. It is the way the wind is blowing. Sad for East Aurora and WNY.
