Quit complaining

Start quitting. I did and I'm so much happier. If you just complain and don't do anything about it, why would they care?

No matter how good you are, you're not safe

I've been trying to explain this to a few coworkers who still haven't figured out that even if your reviews are always stellar and you've been here for years and consider yourself irreplaceable, you're not. I think some people could face a hard truth... — read more 


Stale leadership

We fumbled hard when JD left. Instead of swinging big, we smashed the reset button. Now we’ve got an old CEO, an old CMO, a CFO with zero imagination, a supply chain guy who can’t count, and a CTO who still thinks she’s running ops at Amazon—bless... — read more 


I’m not guessing or worrying any longer

I’ve been putting all the energy and time I can into making sure I’ve got other options and some savings. I don’t expect things to get better, quite the opposite. More frequent, bigger layoffs are likely, because there’s no turning this ship around... — read more 


Execs protecting execs

Anyone find that sr directors and VPs in their org were protected while everyone else suffered losses? How is this ever the right approach to a company re org? Hard watching the same lifers play musical chairs every year and then we all act surprised... — read more 


Nosey parker

I hope this doesn’t come across the wrong way — I’m genuinely curious to understand how conversations landed and the shifts this week. Which functions have been most affected, and if your title changed, what did that look like for you? I’ve heard a... — read more

Nothing will change

The sad thing is, despite the reorg, nothing will change. We need a bigger shakeup at the top if we want to right this ship. A much bigger shakeup.


You Could Try, And Fail.

Maybe your best won't be good enough. But maybe you'll go all in and come out with everything. There's only one way to find out. Is it me, or do Nike's ads at these times of layoffs, low share price etc speak to themselves... Sorry for all let go... — read more

This wasn't as bad as I expected

I honestly thought more people would be affected. I'm just not sure if I should be happy about it or worry there's more left for next month or whenever they decide. Who knows with this place.


Why does this take so long?

A similar sized company with a Portland footprint just conducted layoffs and a reorg. It was completed in 1 day. Why does it take Nike 5 months to cut a few hundred jobs and role out a new org structure and strategy that’s been known at the VP level... — read more 


RIP FOP!

Speaking of d-mb acronyms: What does “fields of play” mean anyway? Tennis and basketball are played on a court. Running happens on a trail or track. Even in soccer (football) the playing area is more commonly referred to as a ‘pitch.’ This is the... — read more 


Any patterns so far?

I'm curious why folks were laid off this time? Is it tenure (expensive), performance (low ratings), or simply political (did not kiss a-s)?


Nike severance packages?

For those that were let go, I’m sincerely sorry. If you feel so inclined, would you be willing to share what your level, tenure and severance package were?


I'm not even stressing anymore

Let’s be honest, who here wouldn’t be better off working somewhere, anywhere else? The job market is scary right now, but that’s what severance is for. Being unemployed and looking isn’t as scary when you have enough money to get you through several... — read more
