Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

Haven't checked here for 2 months. Highly recommend it.

I get it, times are rough and leadership feels like it’s changing direction every other week. That frustration is real.

But having been through this at other companies, here’s a different take:

  • Stop staring at the stock price every day. It’s noise. Focus on what actually drives it long-term... and whether leadership is doing anything meaningful about that.
  • If you’re grade 40+, speak up about what moves the needle. Honestly, even at grade 30: same applies. You might not be shipping a billion-dollar idea, but you can still improve things where you are.
  • And seriously, stop doom-scrolling this site daily. It’s the same handful of bitter folks on repeat. That cycle doesn’t help; quite the contrary and it definitely won’t make you feel better.

Not saying things are great. Just do your part and maybe things will eventually get better

@OP, this is the definition of false empathy. You’re dismissing legitimate frustration as 'bitterness' while recycling 'focus on what you can control' clichés screen-scraped from a 2010 LinkedIn blog. Thinking that dropping 'Grade 40+' references constitutes leadership is embarrassing for you.

This post is the Platonic ideal of 'Robot Pig Slop'—devoid of nuance, heavy on deflection, and seasoned with toxic positivity. If you’re going to use ChatGPT to lecture Nike employees, at least ask it to hide the condescension.

@OP many of the complaints on the site are real honest feedback that cant easily be shared at work. Employee discontent and negativity exist for a reason beyond just the low stock price. Heck, most people probably don’t care about the stock price.

Em-dashes are double dashes, not single. Unnecessary single dashes have equal use between LLM and humans

The bullet points are a giveaway tho
