Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

It would do wonders for Nike if managers actually knew their teams

I don’t know, maybe we wouldn’t keep losing talent? Maybe workloads would be distributed more sensibly, aligned with people’s actual skills? Maybe we wouldn’t have to work overtime because deadlines were mismanaged or workflows were a mess? And who knows, people might even produce better creative work if they felt appreciated or trusted instead of constantly being micromanaged.

No they don't. Toxic managers promote toxic employees. Ones who don't rock the boat and put together half assed short term bandaid solutions that meet the narrow user need they're aware of due to tunnel vision and lack of real world industry experience. Plus at GT, many directors and higher ups are MBAs. They couldn't code their way out of Hello world script. Yet they're making architecture decisions that often impact the entire supply chain business. No wonder billions of dollars worth of Nike business is still done on excel.. Basic EDI stuff that would be systemized years ago in any other company with a half decent tech department.

People will hate it but real research by MAGA says genuine H1bs’ are needed and they are not hurting. People many times misunderstood H1b and open EADs’.

H1bs’ with extra ordinary skills must be paid very high which is 0.1% of current temp labor force.

Problematic is h4/l1/l2/opt/cpt which are side product of H1b. Over the years lawmakers weakened H1b in such a way that those sideways visa with open EAD hurts very badly than actual H1b.

Almost all politicians follow their donors orders. Looks like not many votes on table to fix legal issues surrounding to H1b and other temp visas. So current administration is easy on offshoring which hurts 90% H1b population directly and almost 100% to side ways visa holders who are dependent on primary H1b. That is only option at this moment as no bots to fix legal immigration at all.

Simple rules for wage and compulsory site visit along with employer/employee definition fix many issues but nothing done by design as simple numbers don’t add up in congress currently. Once legal temp visa issues resolved , offshoring is not hard to fix as it not require any rules or laws etc .. very easy to fix with simple executive order not like other rules/laws. Let’s wait for another month and things will starting to clear up. If still not following then wait till thanks giving and all will be crystal clear!!

@d2 Well… dont look further then as to why layoffs are happening. They are offshoring your jobs and at the same time importing cheaper H1B workers to save a buck. It has become too big to hide, every big corp is doing it.

This just reminded me how much I loathe both my managers. Egotistical, emotional, micromanaging women who only care about themselves. Treat people differently and fail at basic inclusion despite benefitting from inclusion programs themselves.

I never knew loser leaders could act so arrogant.

Bunch of wannabe alphas fumbling the ball and doing touchdown dances.
