So....did they say anything about it? Didnt think so....It will never be spoken of again like it was never under any consideration. Funny that, isn't it?

jana being involved is a huge positive. these are the exact moves we need to make. let's all do a little more and get this back to $200 !!!

Anyone noticed posts on LinkedIn from Oracle employees saying they are getting retired? Saw at least 4 of them. Recent example one older guy saying he wanted to stay until retirement but they made him an offer he couldn’t refuse. What happened there, anyone knows?

Anyone else no longer able to see the Fannie Mae “bowls” on Fishbowl and Glassdoor? It now says they don’t exist. They were active prior to 10 am yesterday.

Are promotions cancelled in consulting?

USE ALL OF YOUR PTO AND SICK TIME WHILE YOU CAN!

Unfortunately, I live in a "use it or lose it" state. I have 120 hours of sick time and 66 hours of PTO that I need to use within the next two weeks. To make matters worse, my PL said we're not allowed to request time off during the first and last weeks of August and the beginning of September because those weeks are blocked by the company. This literally only leaves the week of 8/10 & 8/17 to use it and with sick time, i would need a drs note for anything more than 3 days smh...

It really su-ks. That's a lot of earned time—and a lot of money—I may end up leaving on the table.

These guys tricked all of us investors for years, and now it is time for them to go and to bring Hock Tan in. He is the only one who can save this sinking ship.

Curious to see what restructuring has occurred. Please share and let us know market.

Are the business update meetings going out yet? Someone in this forum previously said first week of Aug would see some layoffs. That's next week. Any updates?

They didn’t teach me this in school:

1/ Perception beats performance
→ People promote who they trust,
→ Not just who deliver
→ How you're seen > what you do

2/ The real decisions happen before the meeting
→ Most rooms are just theater
→ Influence happens behind closed doors

3/ Loyalty is transactional
→ It’s not personal, it’s positional
→ Don’t confuse company values
→ With job security

4/ Power protects power
→ People in charge defend their seat first
→ Be aware of the hierarchy
→ Even when it's unspoken

5/ Silence is strategy
→ Sometimes the smartest play is no play
→ You don’t need to join
→ Every argument you’re invited to

6/ Allies matter more than arguments
→ Influence flows through relationships
→ The right support can move mountains quietly

7/ Information is currency
→ What you know can help, or hurt, you
→ Share wisely, not widely

8/ Your reputation moves faster than your resume
→ People talk, good or bad
→ Make sure the version of you in the room
→ Matches the one outside it

9/ Not everyone wants you to win
→ Growth triggers discomfort in others
→ Keep rising anyway

10/ Politics are unavoidable
→ It’s not dirty. It’s real.
→ Navigating power is part of leadership

Don’t ignore politics. Understand it. Then use it to protect your team and your growth.

Sale of Folsom campus cancelled.

How come?

Wondering if they'll pay PTO if we live in States where it's mandated? Anyone has thoughts, experience, or comments on this?

Nike was preaching that each dealers to show customer regarding attributes of the Nike product and give one to one service.

In typical Nike fashion, they completely erased what they said and it never existed.
(if you are with Nike long enough, you will see what I mean).

And replacing great Independent dealers who had connection with local community with ROSS, TJ MAXX, Marshall, Costco and Amazon is not building a passage to the future.
Can anyone answer me seriously how Nike can charge a pair of shoes for $200 when you know that it will be in discount outlets above in 6 months?

Since Nike sla-ghtered all quality independent dealers in their hubris while back.
Maybe solution for Nike will be to go out open more independent dealer again.
Or at least try to franchise the independent doors with more freedom when it comes to offering of the products.
Because a store in Bronx, NY cannot be same as LA, CA. And Nike as corporation is not nimble enough to cater different product for different region.

And that is why Nike's idea of one style for everyone in 50 states has failed.

COLLECTIVISM HAS FAILED EVERY SINGLE TIME BUT NIKE IS DOING SAME THING AND PUZZLED WHY COMPANY IS GOING DOWN.

When I was job seeking out of college my recruiter said "apply to DST last". Its the last place you want to go. Well I ignored the recruiter and went to DST. He was right. It was a poor option. Then ti have DST flub up the Cundiff/pension plan and get into a lawsuit....very bad form.

Looks like Dan's contract was extended to 2028.. so expect more of this "Change" coming... and now Mckenzie consulting is calling the shots for many groups.

I have previously proposed in this platform that Nike's answer will be split the company in few different segments and run separately with each segments with its own CEOs who reports to one Big CEO.
That idea was shut down by just about anyone in this site (if they are still in here).

So a year has passed since that exquisite moment and we are sinking more in the mud. It was ankle deep but now it is knee deep.

So I want to ask everyone in this site.
Do you think that splitting company and running more independent is the solution?
Because it has been shown that Nike is too big and vast in sports/fashion industry for one guy, specifically EH and his cronies to fix it and turn it around.
And the little CEO that shows most result should be considered for next big CEO.

Has anyone heard that going forward, anyone that receive severance will have it capped at 7 weeks?

I have been with Schwab for 6 years, and still do not understand why people think that they are nice to each other?

There is not a day that goes by without people being rude, not doing what they promised, or just ignoring emails.

There is a new explanation on the staggered dates and why it was done. Doesn’t say anything about appealing the date. Also a question about last day work and separation date.

“In the next two weeks”

Read the email. It’s in writing.

Centene: We're "streamlining operational efficiency" and "mission simplify" and blah blah blah by investing in AI!!! (For example, the new contracts with Cognizant.)

Also Centene: Let's post a cr-p ton of Claims Analyst openings in Workday!!!

Unless I'm missing something, is this not contradictory?

"Surging oil and gas prices drive Chevron to $12 billion in adjusted earnings, quadrupling last year's results."

Come on Chevron, invest in employees...they are doing more for less and still making pre-covid wages! What is the incentive for employees to do more for the company? Keeping the workforce held down...

Not sure what the correctly terminology is, but for those that are having the company Reimburse them for education expenses, how will it work if those employees are laid off. Is there a requirement that the employee must work for the company a certain number of years?

Aramark has ended its collaboration with the University of Kentucky. This decision led to the termination of employment for over 900 individuals. The partnership concluded in May of this year. This marks a significant workforce reduction for the company.

What are his contributions over the years?

Too big to fail is a comforting lie. The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

HR isn't here for us. They're here to protect the company from us.

I nearly blew up at a coworker yesterday over this. If you want to leave so badly, then quit. Don't tell me and other people you wish you were laid off after we've watched so many excellent workers lose their jobs and seen how devastated they were over it this week. Read the room, people.

Wouldn't surprise me if people start putting up a "Days since last layoff" posters on their walls. It's been that kind of year.
