Make it hurt them more than it hurts you.

RTO hurts:
Minorities - working from home allows an escape from microagressions.
Parents, especially women - with the childcare situation being what is, working from home allows flexibility for parents. RTO removes that flexibility and sees a decline in women in the workforce as they must leave to take care of their children.
Caregivers - what can be said for parents can be said of caregivers for elderly family or other adult family members
Those with neurodivergence - those with neurodivergence can find working from home easier because of the ability to set boundaries and reduce stimulus.
Working class - Let's be honest unless you're in the 1%, you save money by working at home.
If your job can be done at home and you're getting your work done, then let the employee choose.
You all are fools if you think 'not complying' is a good strategy. Nike is looking for any and all reasons to fire people right now. They have been firing people based on 'suspected' policy violations of random policies. If they fire you, no severance expense. Bonus, they can get rid of a lot of you without triggering WARN.
@coja I’m not so sure about that. The RAT is gone and it happened shortly after everyone started talking about him siphoning millions via contracting grift. News agencies watch these threads too.
NOTHING will hurt Nike. Any grievance said here on this or any forum is bound to be lost in the abyss.
It does not matter how you feel better decisions could be made, or how bad a culture you feel is being cultivated. Nike is bigger than any entity you’ll ever work for.
Nike will continue on.
No matter how bad the experience you think you have at Nike, it won’t make a difference to speak up, and if you stay in this industry, it will be worse wherever you choose to go.
Why would anyone think the PSP has anything to do with commuting costs?
Soft layoff with probably a hiring freeze on the tail of tech employees giving up their holidays/family time to support with 14 hour days and rolling into January stretched thin and exhausted.
The PSP bump was done to offset RTO commuting costs as fuel is higher and Trimet passes are gone. No other reason.
Nothing worse than a soft lay off
@2kft+1pg4gbAp no one in thread said to quit voluntarily, nice try HR
There’s actually real layoffs that have happened this year overseas because of lack of orders.

Did everyone on here that is bi--hing get their 119% PSP?
Please do leave! It opens up opportunity for individuals who want to work in a collaborative cool enviroment. It doesn't hurt the company, they have thousands that will take your place, it hurts you unless you find that unicorn job that a lot of people feel are out there. If you do leave, check back in and a few months and let us know how it is going.
Job market is bad, that's why they have the gut to force RTO, like rest of the big cooperation such as Amazon.
@1krp+1pg4gbAp "disagree and commit" is a term that used to be used by software engineers. it basically means "I would disagree with this technical decision but will implement it for the sake of harmony and productivity, and we can see how it plays out." Managers caught on and started using it to mean "I will say one thing and do another, because I am too weak to make a stand."
Was hiring the RAT a JD or AC move? It seems to me it is a JD move. He is the technology ceo, remember? Something so core to JD’s now defunct CDA strategy? AC took the fall for it, but just because JD needed a scapegoat
This is not going hurt Nike. They’ll pretend, spend bunch of marketing $ and enjoy 10-20% attrition(more if market was good).
Just like they made all the past scandals go away during MP reign.
With this new mess, Everyone forgot about the recent debacle by AC, hiring RL and all his cronies in GT, CDA mess created by JD and the business leadership changes executed by JD recently
How do you disagree and commit at the same time? You sound like you should have been in politics instead id--t!
@1fia+1pg4gbAp - why should I sacrifice my career for you? I'm here to do the best job I can and express my opinion to leadership about a variety of areas where we can improve as a company. It's not my preference to work at the office so often, but I've decided to disagree and commit.
@wgc+1pg4gbAp if you don't like it, then risk your job like everyone else. or do you support the decision?
But why do you want to cut actual Nike employees? There are far easier areas that won’t affect working bees, namely our consultants (JD & Co., McKinsey, Deloitte, Bain, etc). Between all these, we can probably save $50 Million a year or more!
But we do have to be careful, consultants miss 100% of the shots they don’t take. The data shows they only miss 99% of the time
After that, we should get rid of MM and her gabble, but who knows maybe they are valuable..they are only useless on a good day!
All these whiners complaining that they have to go into the office 4 days a week are pathetic. Grow up! Y'all are upset that you can no longer get away with doing the bare minimum (including pretending to be in meetings with cameras off). Wait a minute- you'll be on campus and still do the minimum amount of work required of your job. On the other hand, most of those positions are complete fluff anyway. Get rid of the layers and layers of Marketing, penning terrible briefs for content and campaigns that do NOT move the needle. Brand Design (in all geos including Global) should be the second to be pared down after Brand Marketing. If you want to spare your jobs, quit complaining and work.
Classic JD. Makes a new policy in his black box, doesnt ask for feedback from the people he demands implement the policy, then make them announce it.
Great job JD. True leader you are. Go mess some other company up. You’ve done enough
Managers, directors, etc. have no control over this policy. The decision makers didn't ask for input. The managers are left to enforce it. The RTO decision was made by the board and executive team alone.
@wgc+1pg4gbAp Sad that Nike pays you to be beaten down and demoralizing like this
@wgc+1pg4gbAp Yeah, that's the point. Enjoy conducting dozens of interviews with desperate sub-par candidates and having to wrangle firing paperwork with HR.
Show up and don't do a thing but "collaboration around the water cooler so we can start building that oh so sweet Nike culture back".
Is that what you people managers are missing?
Productivity is about to plummet.
People manager here... You either show up or you'll get fired. Nike will hire someone to replace you. We're all replaceable.
Maybe we can ask McKinsey, Deloitte, Bain and Accenture what we should do
