When I first started at Nike, I was excited to be part of the technology team. I did whatever was asked, took extra duty. Now I'm feeling disillusioned. I have a shelf life coming up with no mention of a extension. literally watched another co-worker as a ETW get marched to the gallows and everyone pretends to care they're being laid off " oh, we'll miss you. You should come back when you!!" It's really sad and pathetic Nike treats people like this.
Most of my co-workers say they " don't feel well" or " have a headache" and disappear from Slack for hours on end. Our director is constantly absent. Team members equate this with being a " great boss! he doesn't micromanage you!" I feel like I'm on a derelict ship.
I hate to be negative. I don't feel like I'm recognized at all. I try to keep my head down and do what is asked of me. I try and banter or fit in with the team. I'm told I do " fit in" but another ETW had his contract extended for a year whereas mine isn't. He did kiss up to our director and saved his bacon I suppose.
It seems like hard work isn't appreciated at Nike, only personality and bantering. Even better if you can be nerdy with them! You can slack off and do minimal work and get by. What else am I missing??
