Layoffs not totally surprising. The dead silence from any level of leadership is the more telling aspect. This round immediately after the close of the voice of the employee surveys!

Pulse, how many are being real?
How many are actually giving the bad feedback in your pulse surveys? Are you giving the real, or just leaving the boxes open?
It’s beyond repair
This company is so behind its time, pushing against goals and KPIs, working with bespoke systems and thinking they are superior.
Exec management tries to make the workforce more efficient while the common Associate has very limited MSFT Office skills (don’t get me started on AI…).
There’s significant pushback against any organizational changes or growth goals while there is a fatalistic approach that we’re all gonna loose our jobs.
Can’t wait to get the f*ck out of this he-l hole
SpaceX vs Nike
Seeing a bunch of complaints on Slack about SpaceX and Elon lately.
Be real for a second: If you had to put your own money into just one company right now — SpaceX or Nike — which are you actually choosing?
Useless HR
People keep saying to report problems, but report them where? To who? All I've seen so far is that speaking up gets twisted back on the employee. Every single time. So why bother?
The VRIF selection
It is very depressing as there are some very good people going because they asked to. Why can’t the organization organize themselves to get rid of dead wood instaesd of not creating an environment where talent and good people feel comfortable.
Prove me wrong
I'll say it plainly. This is a blind company without any real direction. If you think I'm wrong, go ahead and prove it.
A huge miss by the World Cup team
EH built a huge ticker out front counting down the World Cup and you couldn’t manage to make your shoes different colors than the competitors? It’s literally a sea of pink cleats, impossible to set apart the brands. Nike in a nutshell, who is to blame? Should the color team be accountable? The head of global football? Where is the ticker to determine how many more days we have to watch this embarrassment?
Are survey answers really confidential to managers and skip level
I know results are not confidential to hr but will direct mangers and skip levels know who rated them poorly in their teams?
Sink the Pulse Survey
We have a fearless leader that is constantly threatening our jobs. Now he is going after our vacation time that we earned. SINK THE PULSE SURVEY! Make him wake up from his coffee slurping delusional mindset.
12 Hours of Impact
Anyone seen this on Workday under your Overview section? Did they send out any emails that I may have missed?
Says it’s not mandatory but “encouraged.” Translation: do it anyway
Good bye technical roles, all Sales needs is CircuIT to review the designs!
Good bye! technical roles, all Sales needs is CircuIT to review the designs! No more pesky conversations with that architect. It's not like the solution needs to work anyway, that's the customers problem after purchase.
VZPULSE+
Does anyone else think it’s odd that there was a survey question about how long you intend to work with Verizon….
Almost like the survey isn’t anonymous.
Sense my sarcasm
Spotlights
Does anyone know if they have removed spotlights? I haven’t received any for a while which is not normal for me.
Dan is becoming the laughing stock
Ole Danny boy is quickly becoming the laughing stock among tech leaders because he’s so over his head about AI. He thinks he’s a leader in the space, and it’s hilarious to read commentaries, feedback, opinions about him that point out his misguided beliefs and his totally wrong view of AI. It’s honestly embarrassing and I know the C-Suite in several large corporations and sitting back building war chests to buy out parts of Verizon once he fully flops and drives the company to its knees. I meet with C-Suite level in multiple companies through consulting contracts, and I can tell you 100% that Dan is the punchline of the joke, but he’s too arrogant and/or stupid to see it.
Morale at rock bottom
How low can it go further? Pulse survey at this time?
Employee Engagement Survey
On its way Monday 15th June. Let’s all tell Jenny & Rahuuul what a brilliant job they’re doing with their world-class company. Nah, just mention ‘any chance of a pay rise’ in very comment box and advise any potential new joiners to run a mile!!
AI Disaster Implementation
So we rolled out these AI tools last week. You know who you are. They are a complete disaster. The tools provide minimal value and very tedious to use. They actually make our work much more difficult, all to improve “quality”. This is going to lead to a backlog of work. What is the play here? Create a disaster on purpose so some higher-up finally gets that AI ain’t all it’s cracked up to be?
How responsive is the HR “Alumni” team?
Sent an email to them yesterday afternoon with zero response yet aside from the auto generated one. Is this everyone else’s experience?
June Quarterly Review
These meetings feel like nothing more than propaganda and further attempts to indoctrinate the feeble minded.
Inconsistent Meets year end and I’m still here
Honestly thought they would have dropped the axe months ago at this point. My IM rating was out of nowhere. I knew they basically cut everyone who wasn’t doing anything at all at this point and now have to find others to slash. Haven’t heard any concerns from my boss about performance since the year end review but am still expecting another bad rating based on what thier new process is. I’m guessing I have until September at the latest until they finally pull the trigger but just curious about everyone’s thoughts. Can’t wait until they finally do it and I never come back to this board again.
Today's exchange was largely written by AI.
Anyone who is familiar with the dunces unable to write more than a sentence for themselves recognise the telltale signs. Stuff like repeated use of "It's not X, it's Y". Explains why he says so much, yet there's so little substance.
What a joke.
‘Strategy’ and Surveys
I love survey time of the month. It’s hilarious that the company asks us each and every month about how we feel about them. Do they take it seriously? Absolutely not. Do they use it to weed out people who come forward to section and claims managers? ABSOLUTELY!!!
But I want to point out how hilarious it is when you answer the questions about why it’s so stressful and why you don’t want to come into the office e more -!it ends with ‘you are least satisfied with Strategy.’ Really?!?! The strategy is to grind us into oblivion. I can’t believe I’m saying this but bring Tippy back. Least Tipsord wasn’t blind to the need for work life balance…kind of. D1 injury in particular is the most likely to make you crash out from mental exhaustion and it’s very clear they don’t give a flying F!
How many people who get put on PIPs genuinely deserved it?
In my experience, not many.
Does today count for in office
With all of the systems issues we shouldn’t be counted for today being in office. I went home after a few hours of spinning systems.
Is Sophia's EAW Video supposed to be inspiring or a slap in the face
Steve's comments were fine but Christa Ferrell publicly revealed herself in her own words as spiteful and the Adil Mirza acknowledged that he just takes other people's work and put his name on it. Is Sophia really that tone deaf that she thought that would be motivating or was she just too lazy to review the final video? Happy EAW folks, keep doing a great job for our spiteful, plagiaristic and lazy leaders.
Eric Veiel out of touch joke at Town Hall
At the ISP Town Hall last week, during the agenda portion at the beginning the moderator mentioned QA’s and a meeting pulse. Eric said “you’re not going to allow 4-1 questions right?” Leadership in the room all giggled. Then he said “gas prices are high, can we go to 3-2, what an absurd question”. So dismissive and out of touch with the everyday employee at his firm. He’s referencing the Rob sharps town hall last month when him and the MC dodged all questions regarding RTO. Not everyone can afford a personal driver and a nanny while he leads a company into layoff after layoff, a crashing stock price etc.
Nike.com...keep getting page not found error
Saturday morning. Want to order soccer cleats and vomero 18 for upcoming Gifts. After selecting filters or on the product picture, keep getting page not found error!! Across the board...!
What a sh-t experience! Imagine how people who are not nike employees will react. Flagship website is broken!
Hey I'll just take my business elsewhere! Is it too much to ask for 100% up time for Nikes front end to the world...? Common VA, RA, EH, things are falling apart before our eyes. Wake up and do your job.
Claude
I used a TON of tokens trying to get Claude to do what I requested. Ultimately, I had to do it myself as it totally su-ks.
I hope it cost VZ plenty too
PIP
I am put on a PIP. The second line manager is according to the HR message the evaluator. First line manager is supposed to support.
First line manager creates hard to achieves goals.
The normal thing would be that the second line manager gets his own opinion. However 1st says he is in charge and I have not directly reached out to 2nd line.
How others have experienced it.
All was okay until Dhivya started. She’s FB reincarnated
Wake up Mike. Wake up
Our AI is delighting our customers
Read this: https://wccftech.com/verizon-replacing-humans-with-ai-for-live-chat-is-lowering-response-quality/amp/
Glad InfoSys and Accenture are so talented at building AI solutions for our customers. Not to mention our awesome and talented Verizon India teams and GTS leaders. Let’s keep spending Billions to make our customers hate us and AI more than they already do!
Co-Worker Feedback
These co-worker feedbacks really make no sense. I chose people I thought liked me. I gave everyone 5’s regardless of how I felt because I’m not doing BNY’s dirty work. But dang this thing has really made hostile feelings amongst the group and lots of gossip about who we think said what. My reviews were above average in total. I don’t like a couple things that were said, but now I’m thinking if I get the person who I’m suspecting said certain things, I need to be a little more honest for the next round. The top says “anytime feedback.” Can I add gripes all year long?

Sales Town Hall
Thoughts on that Town Hall?
Executive Fireside Chat
What a load of sh!t this all is. You don’t care about any of us. If you did you would have respected our survey feedback last year. People want flexibility, none of the other BS does anything for anyone.
The delusions continue . . .
Q&A at Global Town Hall, Geoffisms
- We’re closing sites where people don’t want to live or travel to.
- We don’t have a retention issue.

Fake JDI Day traditions
What’s up with these events today like they have been a long time tradition? What’s the point of hyping these irrelevant events? What the he-l is a swoosh cup? Is there anything more irrelevant than a Nike Mile? Perhaps they trying to cover up the fact how fun JDI days used to be?
