"Org Transformation". It was a joke. Looking at that empty eyeballs of SD was more painful than the fact that I was getting laid off. I'm not happy but am actually thankful that Nike does this for me before I walk out by myself. I know job market is... — read more 

In Beaverton’s bubble, where sneaker tales grow dim, Old Phil’s twilight looms, his vigor now pale and slim. Laid off, I chuckle at the scene left behind, Kooks in their swag, to corporate tunes blind. “Chasing crumbs, in sweatshop shadows they... — read more
