Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

Malicious compliance. Say what not how. Give info, don't do ANY of the actual work for them. They will end up using LLMs to do a lot of it, poison with bad info that doesn't make you look bad but leads to ambiguity in their prompt. Use your imagination and have fun!

Was it in your job req? Is it in your goals? Sure, responsibilities can change. But in what way has Nike specified that you must?

• can you get these guys up to speed faster so we can kick you to the curb?*

Train them wrong, it's hilarious watching them try to read enough English to do it right

KT is part of the job.

That being said, embrace your sesquipedalian tendencies.

just use advanced english and speak with a heavy southern accent if you can pull it off.

ITC people cant understand native speakers well and their culture is built around saving face. few will dare to interrupt you and ask for clarification as they are self concious about their language skills.

Instead of saying "doing that will cause a problem in X area" say "your proposal to implement that kind of solution in this conundurum will cause a ripple effect and cause major disturbance in an adjacent domain and cause issues with X and Y"

oh wait...

This is exactly how leadership speaks in all hands! what a coincidence!

If you are training people in ITC you are training your replacement. If you don't train them they will probably fire you with no severance. Do the minimum and feel free to leave out anything that isn't already documented. I would spend the majority of my time looking for a new job or at least learning new skills.

Assuming PHK/USA, You're employed at will so you can just leave, but you'd lose severance and such. There isn't really a legal grounds to refuse a demand to train a new employee and keep your job though.

Just do the bare minimum and don't hold their hand. Lots of ITC guys expose themselves as frauds when you try to train them to work independently.
