Tech Activation Touch Base
My email is with a director I don’t report to and says “I’m setting time to touch base”. Anyone get a similar email? Also my team was hit already yesterday
EH is boomer who doesn't get technology
EH is very less educated with a typical boomer mentality that technology is just made of fluffy. He is not a strategic guy to understand that in tech driven world, although you don't need to be tech company but tech drives your competitive... — read more

CIS
How are the impacts in CIS?
My team was already hit
Are the rest of us now safe for the rest of the week?
Nike’s Win Now strategy is starting to look like a Cut Now reality.
Nike's former CTO agrees with this LKDN post that Nike is divesting the wrong things. These repeated cuts feel less like a thoughtful long-term strategy and more like a short-term push to satisfy board expectations and quarterly metrics. “Win Now”... — read more

I want Nike to grow and perform
I want Nike to succeed, but what’s happening in certain areas is deeply concerning and hard to ignore. Not all managers are part of this, and there are still many who lead with integrity. However, in some cases, hiring is clearly not based on merit... — read more
New beginning!
Don't be discouraged if you are impacted today. Think of it like a new beginning ✨️
Ac still here
And yet lots of good talent let go today….not seeing morale rising anytime soon if poor sr leaders still here….
Time to sell s**tty products on marketplace
Even no brand Chinese products on Amazon have better quality.
Great People and Leaders Lost Today
Great ones went down today. The good Directors and Senior Directors of teams departed likely because the SD or VP above them usually felt threatened. This is why Nike is failing. Best to them. They made us better. I hope they take us with them... — read more

Converse?
Was converse included in this wave? In seeing some deactivated accounts suddenly.
It’s not your fault…
Think of someone you know that is extremely talented and experienced. Not the kind you look at and say “yeah, they’re pretty good”, but the kind you look at and wonder how they even do it. People of that caliber were let go today, so whatever... — read more
Did anyone get an invite for tomorrow?
With all the rumors, I'm under stress if more invites are gonna be sent or invites have already been sent. Any concrete information might help me prepare or destress myself. Thanks!
Layoffs across a single org
I saw many people in my org get laid off. I am in Game. Will they continue with more layoffs in the same team/orgs or will layoffs move to other teams ?
Anyone know how long these layoffs are going to drag on?
I'm hearing everything from "done tomorrow" to "weeks more."
How many do we reckon were hit today?
200? 300 so far?
So…..
No VP and no resilience/reliability…..
Are we done for the day?
Given the bloodbath today, can’t imagine tomorrow will be any better, but a lot worse :(
Community
To all those who are affected by layoffs this week, get through the call and take 24-48 hours to process. Don’t react poorly in the moment, nothing new gets decided on right there. To people watching colleagues go: reach out to everyone you hear... — read more
Lost two good ones on my team
Also some mgmt gone, so there's that. As someone pointed out, mixed bag this time.
Any SWE II or SWE IIIs get the invite yet?
So far I’ve only seen directors and lead engineers get the invite. Guessing the Jr engineers are up next today or tomorrow?

Seemed like there was a big wave in the morning, but has anyone received an invite in the last hour or so?
Anyone got invite for tomorrow? I got one and its little scary for me.

A brief message for those getting laid off
First, I understand your feelings. I got let go from a different company several years ago and it never feels good. Even though it's usually not personal it always FEELS personal. Especially when you think about all your contributions over the years... — read more
