#pessimism

If we don't change fast enough, we're done. If we change but in the wrong way, we're also done. Basically, there are very few paths in which Oracle will be okay, and many more where we're done.

Yep, the POS is circling the drain.

Lots of pi---d off people.

Yes ! This is the end

On LinkedIn, I see many OCI job opening posts. And I see many familiar managers getting promoted to higher roles. That doesn't look like the organization's shrinkage and flattening. From outside it looks like a steady OCI growth. Which sounds opposite to the pessimism and claims of M2-M3 roles being converted to IC ones voiced on this board.

So much bad news all around NKE. WS analysts downgrade and cut price targets on the daily. Coverage in the media is also bearish. Macro picture is also bleak.

Given all this, is this the quarter that wily old magician EH pulls a rabbit out of his hat and announces a big beat and raises guidance for the next quarter?

What do you make of the latest exec management changes ?
Growing more pessimistic here

Every single day it's something new. I'm tired.

.. tell us what you see that gives you hope. To the extent that you can share, I’m curious what you’re seeing that makes you think the company can and will turn it around .

not seeing any light at end of this tunnel.
our fate is sealed by cr-ppy suppliers and a decade of lowest bid.
2 years to cut that anchor and i cant hold my breath that long.

I have a few times. Worst cases of Chevron derangement syndrome, they usually had pretty mediocre jobs but were addicted to the power point lifestyle . I dont know what it is: a lack of confidence that they cant find a new job, too far Chevronized, maybe not actually into women….but it was so buzarre to me.

Imagine your ex wife going on dates with new dudes and your kids having to deal with that so you could clutch to a cr-ppy house and job in Houston, Midland or Bakersfield. Lol i guess that 401k match is nice

This is all really eerie and so sad. Rest easy and take it one day at a time. Prayers for everyone. 🙏

The recent exterior update to the local branches feels like a downgrade. The original red brick was simple and traditional. The new grey repaint makes the buildings look washed out and sterile rather than modern. It is disappointing. Lifeless. Just like the company itself.

I'm finding it increasingly difficult to watch our engineering colleagues get systematically rebadged over to Cognisant while leadership pretends everything is fine. We used to have leaders who held the line. Now we've traded them for an executive team whose strategy consists of crossing their fingers and asking AI what to do next

How long till capitulation?

G2 posted a strange post on LinkedIn few days ago in which he talks about cynicism and skepticism. Does anyone understand the message of this post?

Dell will be worth exactly 3 percent of today’s market value and 82 percent of its employees will be gone. Rough rough rough times ahead for Dell. Get your popcorn

I just saw, Nike 1st quarter 2027 and I will declare that it was extremely underwhelming to say the least. There was some sign of life in running but everywhere else, it was just not easy to be enthused.

So anyone hoping to Nike turnaround, I am afraid that for at least for more than 6 months, they will not show up.

And if things will continue as is then I am afraid that some point they will be LAYOFFS.

With our leader EH proving that he is not adept for the job of turnaround, I am pretty pessimistic.

I am 47 year Nike independent dealer and I have seen all. Great time and bad times (like when Reebok came and kicked Nike's a-s) but this time, I have a distinct feeling that Nike is sinking and going to dark end.

And be a RAT!!! Jump the ship before it start sinking LOL

How to deal with the problem

Even after working on solutions that these mega logos depend on we are no where close in reaching ¼ of their revenue.

I even feel that the ip business will die a slow painful death

Sorry for being pessimistic, this whole AI BS is taking a toll on me

Like wtf are we even doing wrong, are we doomed ?

Are we on the right track even ?

It's over for all of us here anyway.

I’ve been with the company for a long time.. 30 some years.. if you own Walmart stock, I’d be selling it now.. the company is on a downward spiral and the stock is gonna crash..

Kyndryl is exactly like the salad on McDonald's menu, short lived and nobody will even notice when it's gone.

It's amusing reading all this speculation when we all know deep down that nothing will change. The same thing that always happens will happen again. We'll see more layoffs, more outsourcing, more "do more with less" rhetoric, and more of the same for employees. Nobody gives a damn about us or improving our situation, least of all any CEO.

Get out while you can, save your hard earned dollars fro your family's sake.. you had sacrificed your family time to make contributions to Fiserv stock .. here you are..

Circuit City, Radio Shack, Blockbuster, Fiserv....

Nothing ever changes for the better around here. Especially for us lowly employees.

Mmmmm.

Who knows what is going on?

NIKE IS DONE!!!
WE 3 BAD CEOS MP JD EH
AND WITH BAD ECONOMY, I THINK THAT MOST CONSUMERS ARE CHANGIN THEIR TASTE.
MOST YOUNG PEOPLE ARE BROKE AND THERE IS NO YOUNG CUSTOMER BEING CONVERTED TO NIKE CREEDO.

DEAD AND BURIED!!!

There are 50% chances that Dan might fail but there are 50% chances that he might succeed to transform..
I do see lots of negativity among Band 5 leaders.. overheard negative talk on the floor after All hands..
why can’t these middle layer leaders do not want to give it a fair chance ?
Looks like Dan made these ultra comfortable people uneasy and they are not liking it.

PA is supposed to be the jewel of RemainCo’s crown. I guess it was Cubic Zirconia.

I get venting, but it's not that bad. Some people are being over the top. If it was really that bad, I wouldn't be here.

Anyone able to shed some light on the “compressed” performance review cycle announced this past week? The pessimist in me wonders if it’s just to accelerate the next round of layoffs, but I’d love to know more.

I'm trying to stay positive, but it’s tough to picture things improving in any way without major changes. And I don't think we'll be seeing such changes any time soon, if ever.

It would take a miracle worker to turn this ship around.

Thought you had a future in this industry? Too bad. That's the message we keep getting.

QC stock will continue to tank. 130 is just the start.

More stores will close, more people will go. Until there's nothing left to close and nobody left to fire.

With all the cuts and layoffs, I'm starting to worry I won't live to see the day.
