We had assumed JD would communicate at some point but instead we've just spent all this time anxiously waiting for information. We don't know whether Cathy's email about WHQ applies to us or not. Our boss seems distracted too -- it's all just so... — read more 

We had assumed JD would give us a timeline at some point but instead we've just spent the time anxiously waiting for a note that never came. Even our boss said she understood why we were so distracted. Lame because it was totally avoidable. Just a... — read more 

It's Thursday night, any chance MM is going to tell us if we should cancel or not? I hope they explain why they waited so long to tell us about WFH.

If I had gotten any information on timing around when EMEA/GC did, I would've been able to focus and do my job. But crickets. Thanks Mo. HR just doesn't care about the employee experience. There's so many notes going around, seemingly to everyone but... — read more 

I understand that geos have to deal with time zones so they send notes like this during WHQ's afternoon, which is their morning. And I think a lot of us saw Cathy Sparks send her email and read that as a "tell" that the global note, or a NA note, was... — read more 

No direction on whether we are supposed to work from home or not. No guidance on how next week is supposed to go. The only thing we have been told is we are phase 2. How is it that other groups have direction and others have absolutely nothing? — read more 

Just got an invite for tomorrow morning from my VP. I feel sick and my hands are shivering, though I had told myself before that it would be ok, and that this is nothing personal. Well, let’s see.

I was told by my manager to stay home tomorrow and Monday and preferably the rest of next week. He said he has confirmed with VP that no more changes in our team as we were hit hard in phase 1. The more he tried to say we are safe the more stress I... — read more 

Sorry if this has been posted before, if so it’s buried now. But wanted to start a helpful thread of questions to ask HR in the case that one is laid off. If you’ve experienced a lay off please share your wisdom. How long should individuals expect... — read more

Everyone loves to dunk on the GAP team in GT but any news?

Our leadership confirmed that there will be two types of invites sent out from SD/VP; it would be either to let you know that you’re leaving or continuing. Don’t panic if you see one on your calendar; it may not be that you’ve been laid off. They... — read more 

Gen x age here, been here over 15 years. Based off phase one, it’s clear I’ll be aged out even though consistent HS CFEs. I’ll probably do a few lake loops today, say hi if you see me. It’s been a good ride, feels so awful this is how it ends. See... — read more 

Will that team really gonna save millions of dollars by asking most of the techops to migrate their infrastructure to NPE? I have used their product during recent workshop. It works but not sure if it is reliable to use it in terms of performance... — read more

Does anyone know if ITC has already been hit, or if they will be?

Sounds like we might be WFH next week. Guess we'll find out at the last minute. This was the promise JD gave us for transparency? This company used to be very pro-parent, but letting us know over the weekend that we're not coming into the office on... — read more 

APLA email just went out. Why didn't we hear this from JD? Or did I miss it? Or do all the notes from geos but not global mean that they're all working from home but Beaverton isn't? Can't imagine why they'd do that but who knows. Maybe JD's comments... — read more 

So let me get this straight. GC got a note for Wave 2. EMEA got a note. And APLA just got a note. But no communication at all for global/WHQ? I don't get it. Has Wave 2 started in full and us at WHQ are just the last to find out? Sure would have... — read more 

ETW for a year and a half. Been told our dept should be safe (whatever that means nowadays) and that our contracts "protect" us to a degree, but would we find out next week along with FTE's? We don't get severance or anything but I'm thinking the... — read more 

Our dept received an email to package all our current work in flight on files and to upload them in box. I imagine it’s so they can dump all our workload onto some poor sap once we all get the axe. A huge miss from leadership and shows how extremely... — read more

Things supposed to be happening this week. Anyone hear more?

Just in case I'm let go next week and lose my discount, I ordered my kid some new shoes today.

John needs to actually get in touch with his employees. The mark of a good leader is taking employee feedback and implementing that feedback to make this place better. The ability to listen is something he lacks. In fact, he's tone deaf. You know... — read more 

Any idea when we will get the email letting us know to wfh next week? I’m hearing tmw and things start happening as soon as Thursday this week.

Curious if anyone else received a Slack update today? Since Slack had quick org updates last round, I'm now paranoid about these type of things. Good luck to all of us trying to stay calm over the next couple weeks.

Why would you need to hire yet another DEI leader? "We seek a Principal, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion [DEI] Business Partner for our Converse and Jordan brand teams". Is there really nobody at Nike/Converse qualified for this role? Do you really... — read more 

JW, how is severance taxed? What about the PTO payout? Is it like our bonus where we can anticipate only seeing 50-60% of the award?

Terrific job team, way to be smart and innovative.

Does anyone have a sense on when the next round of layoffs will be here in NA? I know last round, leaders asked teams to WFH for the week... Did that always indicate your fate? My boss asked us all to WFH next week, but hasn't said anything more... — read more
