Layoffs are never fun or easy, but if it’s meant to be and you are let go, make the most of it. You were and are obviously a gifted, talented individual, otherwise nike wouldn’t have hired you in the first place. Take time, do the things you didn’t... — read more 

US Global Technology was told to WFH next week.

I’ve heard rumblings for a couple weeks now that we might be asked to stay home next week during layoffs to avoid any incidents. Any truth to this?

Can everyone reply with their organization name if they had a follow up communication from their org top leader and if they were asked to work from home next week?

Just wanted you to know that you can do this. The last week has been absolutely brutal for me, looking for an outlet, a way to soothe and escape. The coming weeks won’t be easier but we can do this. You can lose a job and find another job, but your... — read more

So what happens if I have next week off and the following 2? If the layoff happens when I’m away do I still technically have a job while I’m out? Does HR need to have a call first?

Good luck everybody

Is this even possible? Anyone know of anyone who has done this?

That will solve 90% of our problems. We can deal with the remaining 10% once we have competent leadership.

Anyone see NK’s update on LinkedIn? Shocked that there wasn’t an official announcement. He has been there a long time and has been a very visible leader internally.
