Not because I'm loyal to the company or like where it's currently, but because too many of us wouldn't be able to find a new job in the current job market and Nike still pays decently and offers decent benefits. Why would I cheer to lose my own livelihood? I really don't understand some of you.

@OP they really su-kered you. They have caused you enough workplace trauma to believe that you aren’t worthy enough to find anything outside of those pearly gates of he** Get up and believe in who you are and what you have to offer. After that start applying for jobs where the ROI doesn’t steal your soul. Once you leave or they let you go, you will realize how toxic it actually was. #toxicleaders
Kinda tells you how fed up people actually are…it’s visceral emotional response to poor and neglectful leadership.
@a2 I think ELT has already won the game of life, so even if they fail, it will be a fall forward. Meanwhile we get stuck the bill.
I hope Nike recovers briefly so it can get arrogant and prideful again so it would destroy itself for the final time
Leadership is still not humbled by this experience
Think of the millions who won NKE in their brokerage accounts, retirement portfolios and/or mutual funds. The institutional investors (Blackrock, Vanguard, Wellington) have hundreds of millions in shares where the value fell off the cliff and continues downward! Employees who had indexed ESPP.

I used to work for Nike, and most of my ex-colleagues would not qualify for a real tech job out there.
The writing is on the wall. I KNOW I’m going to be laid off. Why would I want the leaders responsible for the decline of Nike and my layoff and the layoffs of thousands of others to have any kind of success?
If Nike fails, those people fail. And I want them to fail.
