Any lay-offs in Nike EMEA? Seems like most of the axe falls on Portland... The Dutch workers' council really earned their pay on this one!

Did you get a meeting invite from your boss or upper management just before? Was a meeting scheduled far in advance? Did they present your severance at that time? Any light you can shed would be appreciated.

I’m fairly positive about my exit from the company. That said, I wanted to make a suggestion or observation that might serve Nike well to take heed. There still persists a culture at Nike that feels classist. That “man in the high tower” attitude... — read more

Every time the stock price stalls, Nike announces an increase in the layoff numbers. It's now a strategy for those VPs who will be leaving too. As long as that price keeps going up, they will procrastinate the big layoff.
