ED&AI Two Orgs in Slack now
Users are bucketed into Data Engineering and Software Engineering groups now, even split. Early sign for changes soon this week.
Phase 2?
Heard a rumor that big cuts are coming this Friday while most of us are wfh. Some VPs/SDs are getting looped in to wrap up phase 2 by March. Though it'll go on till the end of Q4, looks like the bulk of it will be done sooner. Thoughts?
Lots of 15 min meetings set up in GAP for tmrw
Lot of GAP leaders have 15 min meeting set up for tmrw with their direct reports. Either GAP will be hit hard or big org/role change. For the meeting set up to lay off people - are these 15 min meetings or 30 min meeting usually ?
Phase 1, Phase 2, more waiting for you
If you were lucky enough to survive phase 1 now comes the sequel. Phase 2 of the waiting at home for that dreaded call. When is phase 2!? Nobody knows. You will have to wait and wait some more on pins and needles watching every interaction for signs... — read more
Wellness Quarter (2/26-5/27)
The next three months will be the least productive in company history. Should probably just let everyone take the quarter off to recover and prepare for what’s to come.
Sharing
I saw this on another forum and had to share here since I haven’t seen this take exactly.. I know it’s long but it’s a good read! (JD) He is responsible. He took s $50m salary more than any other former more qualified CEO. The first thing he did... — read more

GT Leaders were silent today
It was too quiet in Global Tech, they're prepping for something tomorrow. Sr Directors were in some sort of "off-boarding' training today. Brace for impact!
Any news on NSRL?
OK, I have been stressed all day today. Heard some rumors that NSRL will be hit in May! I thought we were done with it back in Novemeber. Where these rumors are coming from? Any one has heard the same? Can't take this for another 3 months. Most of us... — read more
Just to humiliate you more
Right now appointments to pick things up are very limited, inconvenient times, and for several weeks from now. Almost like rubbing in my face that i have nothing else to do.
VP->VP->VP and SD->SD->SD
Surprised to still see reporting structures like VP reporting to VP to another VP. And SD to SD to SD. How did they survive this layoff? Such hiring and promotion practices created this mess to begin with.
Baseball Jerseys
We are taking a beating in the press this year jerseys. The fans hated and the players hate it even more.

Practical Offboarding Prep
Just filled out my offboarding form online. You need your Employee ID number, which is part of the paperwork they share with your private email over box. You also need your department name, your managers name. What is almost impossible to figure out... — read more
Longest week ever
I wish I could get myself to stop checking this site like a gd crack addict every half hour. I said I’m ok with staying or being laid off but as a long timer this one is by far the roughest in regards to stress. Good god. No, I’m not going to go for... — read more
Will it be Directors and ICs from this point?
With VPs and SDs impacted till now, will it be Directors today and ICs tomorrow for the impacts?

Are the invites out yet?
Are all layoffs happening over Zoom?
I’m on campus this week and even though I want to keep my job, I’m dreading another day of awkward nervous energy in the office. Are any orgs laying off in person? This board is both gossip and truth. And I have gotten way more truth here than... — read more
Group layoffs
Have all meetings been 1-1 with leader (and HR)? Or have there been meetings in which multiple employees are informed as a group?
How many have already been affected?
We are probably nowhere near the target number. This week is going to be a nightmare.
Non-compete
Does anyone have information about the non-compete? Will it be discussed during the call? I signed one years ago in a different role. Not sure if it’s still valid. Is it better to ask about it in the call or not?
Was PSP included in exit package?
Was there PSP component for those laid off so far? As per communication , employees will be given PSP for FY24 who are been laid off! But is that actually provided who left?
TechOps / CIS / GAP / EDAI / UE / TM
Have these teams been affected? I am probably missing some other Tech teams but people here are posting about the same 2-3 teams.
Once you are bloated and not growing
It’s not going to end. Superstar athletes aren’t the future, look at On, Hoka and lululemon. Our business model has been disrupted and it will never be fun to work at Nike like it was when we were growing consistently. Shoe dogs are all fired... — read more
Slack not showing manager
If you look up people on slack, it shows who they report to. If it suddenly does not show whom they report to, does it mean they are on the hit list?

NDP and another round
Sounds like NDP will experience another chop chop before the fiscal is out. Brutal, yo! What's up with THAT?
Does anyone know if there will be layoffs on DPC and Innovation AGAIN?
JD email did not say anything about those departments who were previously impacted but clearly says those who are NOT affected. Does it mean they strike again to those previously affected on Nov and Dec?
This whole deactivation thing reminds me of The Circle on netflix
Bane and HR are Influencers and pull the plug. Suddenly you are deactivated.
Amazon leaders coming to a GT team near you soon?
Out with the old, in with the new. Anyone taking bets on how many Amazon leaders will be hired on as part of the post layoff re-org?
I'm at the bar
You all should be too.
Thread to track impacted groups
This keeps getting buried in the thousands of posts. Can we create a clean post with just the list of impacted groups (spell it out, no one knows what your acronyms mean)? And what level - VP, Sr Dir, Dir, Manager, IC, etc. Don't worry about the... — read more
