I've been talking with an acquaintance who was laid off six months ago (not from Nike), and he's still on the job hunt. He mentioned receiving a couple of offers, but the pay was way less than what he used to be paid, so he turned them down. He and I... — read more

…right now? Really? Why?

Lay offs to multi millionaire CEO's and VP's may not seem a big deal... as no matter how they perform, they always get a huge payout and another role. Nike's current performance is largely due to the CEO's poor strategy (CDA / CDO) and has resulted... — read more

Why are so many waiting to be laid off instead of taking charge of their lives and finding something better right away?

Nike used to be all about excellence. We used to take pride in that. Now, the highest goal is mediocrity in the service of cost savings. Then the leadership is shocked when the results are not what they were expecting. It would be funny if it wasn't... — read more 

Look at the stock. Zero growth since JD assumes CEO position Jan 2020. His cost cutting, consultants, hyperbole, DEI, tech, CDA all have failed. When will the board of directors cut their loss and make needed management change?

Say someone is 60 years old, suddenly disillusioned with Nike, and would like to fly away on a golden parachute. Can such a person volunteer to be layed off? If so, how soon?
