If I am reading the “2024 annual report and notice of annual meeting” report correctly which was posted today, it seems like JD is getting 200% bonus. It is out of the 65% payout limit but dang, I got pennies and I didn’t even sc--w up anything this... — read more 

Hearing a lot of different guesses -- my team had assumed it would be before wellness week, but feels like they're running out of time if that was the case. Any predictions how JD announces them? And any predix which scores are up and which ones are... — read more 

Anyone else always have 1 or 2 things missing from their nike.com orders? Why can't they get their stuff figured out like Amazons. At this point, Nike customer care probably thinks I'm trying to scam them by requesting all these refunds.

not really a huge change but with AP LA going anyway GC will absorb the rest of the apac region. Will remain based in Shanghai with satellite offices in Seoul and Melbourne. Led by Ms Do-g still!

The car companies have moved me the most. Our commercials are not inspiring.

How about cutting some of the $400-$500/hr ACN people that are less talented and don’t care about the Brand. You might even have better solutions…..yes people, that translates to $800,000-$1,000,000 per year, per person.
