Every Sunday, I wish they just lay me off when I walk in Monday mornings

12Y you clearly no nothing about business at all and just a poser. You need to stay at Nike and hide when they call those 12 minutes HR meeting.
The highest level of new company formation happen when there is an economic downturn. You wouldn’t know that because you are an incompetent loser.
Now with AI, you can do so many things with less labor. Best time to start your own company:
@12r sure you will. If you could do that and survive you would have done it already. Starting a new business when the economy is about to tank will have about zero chance of making it. Have fun!
I will take that vacation and enjoy it. I am not worried about being unemployed. I already looked to start my own company in a high demand area.
@z0 you can call being unemployed a "vacation" but it is really being unemployed. If you think you will receive that much severance than you are old and this is your last meaningful job. Ageism exists and this is a really bad job market for older people. If you aren't old enough for medicare than healthcare is going to be a huge drain on your resources.
Op here: week is still toxic. my boss is still here with her bad idea for the NBA business. I decided to report her to HR but they didn’t care at all.
I was thinking if I keep reporting her to HR they would lay me off and give me what I want. A package and 12 month vacation.
Fingers crossed that works
@t6 stfu... you need... lol
I in Nike is INDIA now lol
@jk wow is that ignorant. This company deserves what it is heading towards. I hope they clean out all of the Oregon libtards in one action. This company will do better based out of India.
Hey OP. How is this week treating you?
So many good upvotes for good responses.
Down votes for Nike butt kissers… then they attack people for their support… maybe that person should go work for trump.
OP here. JK gets the strategy. We been shielding our bad leaders with good ideas and they haven’t laid off the D student leaders . We need to show how bad they are and get them removed. That is the fastest way to fix the company and get back to growth.
Some children on here saying be mature but put their heads down and pretend the problems away. That isn’t working and you need to grow up or get out of the way,
We need to clean up at all levels and expose the bad leadership:
My guy. OP’s approach accelerates bad managers exposing themselves. This accelerates solving problems.
Should OP challenge a bad manager, and risk their livelihood? Or is the manager responsible for creating a better environment?
Bad managers deserve bad teams.
@gj Creating new problems and waiting for them to impact the company isn't helping. It is immature. If you are unhappy with the way things are going act like an adult and move on. If you can't get a new job that says a lot about your skills. The fact that you get up votes is just an indicator of why Nike is having problems. Looks like they should be doing a lot of layoffs to clean house.
@h0 wow are you an id-iot. People with lives don't spend all their time on this site.
High five 🙌
The last comment schooled that person. No reply back...
I hope they learn who the true enablers are.
OP here: yes, I am clearly the problem by sharing what a terrible place nike is. Let’s just pretend that leadership is perfect and I am making up toxic work culture and go back to the happy place.
This post is getting the up votes because it resonates with people and how they feel.
If your solution is ignore and put your head down, your part of the problem.
Layoffs coming right before thanksgiving just like several years ago.
Attitude is a reflection of leadership.
@cf /OP You do understand that your behavior that you described and got a lot of up votes on is exactly the what makes Nike so toxic. You are part of the problem you are complaining about.
I dunno about others, but I made a tidy profit on ESPP this time around. Only once has it every been a forced loss, 6 months ago, due to a confluence of factors.
@d8 Sell ESPP as soon as you get it and lock in the 15% bump. However, there are times when you won't be able to sell until after earnings, so it's not always a slam dunk.
DZ makes a great point. It could beat to be pushed out and paid out.
I hope that HR kisser stays and makes the turn around happen. This is oregon, we large companies the villain
There has been a turn around since 2023 and now we aren’t far from 2027. You need a reality check that, there is no turn around. You can keep lying to yourself after they fire you.
At some point, you need to make peace that Nike doesn’t have the leadership and you just need to stay on the ship long enough to get paid out or find a better gig.
Yah, it su-ks here now …. Worst part is watching people jockey for relevance to try to avoid the inevitable. Even if you make it through the next round(s) do you really want to be left behind with the others that made it, and the colossal mess that will need to be cleaned up?? No thank you.
@d3 u/lies_are_comforting is that you?
@d3 Another brown-noser of the fu--ing managers
@d8 You know I'm right. The turn around is happening whether you like it or not.
Haha yes, let’s give EH credit the stock went from $33 to $36 this month but down -44% YTD. EH is really saving the day.
Agree, you go take your Dan club somewhere else. I hope you buy more ESPP just to lose more money
@d3 The page is for people to discuss their negative views in an anonymous way. Start your own EH fan page. Attacking posters doesn't change any views.
You realize the NKE stock is slowing making a comeback?!? Stop being so negative and believe in the turn around!! No wonder Nike is toxic. You guys make it toxic. EH will bring Nike back to where it was. Mark my words.
Even after Nike is gone, the HR people are going to try and save it... that is how committed the toxic folks are. The true is only in the stock price and no where else.
Do you think it’ll be after PK is gone for good that either tell alls, stories or a Netflix atrocity will come out about the flagrant nepotism and favoritism at Nike and how that drove the company into the ground??
OP here. Here is what I am doing,
I am agreeing with my boss in all the d-mb idea they proposed and trying to ramp them up, so they are live as quick as possible. That way, we can fail faster in my org.
That way these leaders get fired when things implode. Ironically, they are eating it up and they have no idea, how bad their idea is. These are Harvard and Yale grads too haha.
Coffee or gym badge your way through the week.
Nike isn't unique. Read posts for other companies on this site. Corporate America has changed and it isn't going back. Office Space 2 could be based on any of these companies and in a lot of ways they are all the same.
OP, if you really feel that way what are you doing to fix it? If you painted yourself into a corner and don't see a way out maybe it is better to leave and start over. You are not alone...
A7, I love your comments and totally agree!
Office Space 2 should be built on Nike and we should write it. Agreed, these leaders will walk away with enough money to never work again; even with their stock worth 80% less than the peak
Happy to chat if you're interested about writing a movie idea about this.
Haha. This sounds like a scene straight out of Office Space. You've described an absolutely miserable work environment, and the irony is that nearly everyone seems to feel exactly the same way - except, perhaps, the VPs who are too busy getting high on the smell of their own bullsh*t to notice just how dysfunctional everything has become.
But perhaps none of it matters anymore. Nike increasingly looks like a company in the throes of its own endgame - an organization so consumed by its internal politics, corporate egos, and self-importance that it has lost sight of what made it great in the first place. The world has moved on. Nike was once a brand that stood for something, inspired people, and genuinely meant something to consumers. Now it seems more interested in preserving its own corporate hierarchy than recognizing that the relevance and cultural influence it once took for granted are slipping away.
The irony? The people running the show may be the last ones to realize it (but hey, they have tens of millions $ already so they're fine)
