Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

@c0 I would be interested to see how you act in real life. There are probably plenty of people who would call you a bootlicker too.

@af I'll take "Spineless Bootlickers" for $200 Alex

Sigh.OP here.

Once again, people commenting on the post completely miss the point and probably didn’t even read the whole post.

I would never suggest someone disparage Nike or any other former employer on their LinkedIn post. Of course you should put a positive spin on things and remember your time spent at Nike fondly. I mean, it’s your life after all.

I get it: I was laid off in the last round

That said, is it necessary to include the vapid corporate speak? Do you still believe all that stuff?

You’re gonna need to start thinking for yourself and show some authenticity because guess what? Time at Nike has diminishing currency in the current marketplace.

And then there’s the ones pretending to work for Nike or even making up job titles Nike never had. Ring a bell?

@OP I respectfully disagree. I see those post as a step toward gettting their next gig. Remember linkedin is not the place to look for genuine post or feelings. Its a professional marketing tool not a reddit. I bet most of the folks would not even exist in linkedin if they had enough money to be not working. How many well off retired people do you see in linkedin posting about their AI first approach and the recent certification they got on some thing?

From driving strategic impact to .. driving Uber Eats. Good thing you picked your family up and moved to Beaverton as mandated by the company.

People do those LinkedIn posts so that when their prospective employers look at their social media they see positive attitudes even in stressful situations. Tearing into past employers just makes you look bad.

I went out g-ns blazing 2+ years ago. I highly recommend it. It makes watching the titanic sink from shore even more sweet.
(and yes I found a better job at a company that is crushing it. More pay, more work, more upside)

@a8 unfortunately toxic negativity and bitterness is 98% of the people here so be prepared for people to downvote you like crazy. It’s pretty sad. Nike is a very “how dare people be happy when I’m not” place. This will prove it.

When I got let go in June 25’ I made a post because I was genuinely grateful for experiences. I liked the people. Did the company go to he-l? Yep. Doesn’t mean people cannot be thankful for the ride just because it ended abruptly.

Toxic negativity is also a thing. Not everything has to be “to he-l with this place” and sometimes people choose to see the good vs bad in things. To each their own I suppose.

If it wasn’t for the people and experiences at Nike I would never have been setup for new current role which after a year is the best thing that happened to me. All things happen for a reason.

People should not live life bitter about the things you can’t control.

StinkedIn needs to add a corporate translation option. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdDU3-YoSmw/?stkn=MTMwY2J4Z3IzdmVpdg==

“Grateful for the journey. Learned so much. Best team on earth. 🙏 #Blessed #NoFinishLine”

Translation: “Please hire me, I am not litigious and I will not subtweet my former VP.”

ew, thats disgusting. toxic positivity is bad for your health in long term.
people should be upset, annoyed with the corporation, not thank it.
