Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

Reality check (tech post)

To those of you called back to office saying you’ll be in zoom calls all day.

Unfortunately you won’t. With RA and AB shipping all jobs to ITC you will be on calls from home starting at 6am, drive into office to waste time, and then drive home to be in calls all night.

Tech leaders, most whom are still in other states will continue to ask why things are getting worse and not better.

Biz will be screaming at you as to why no one is around to fix the multiple tech issues.

Then you’ll be told to go to all hands where tech leaders have no passion for sports and have mc’s that dance at the all hands after announcing layoffs.

Bring headphones and enjoy your family while you can. It’s awful here. Campus is pretty, but you can’t put lipstick on a pig.

3 more tech vp’s hired last week to lead who knows what. Millions paid to lousy vendors. Most good engineers have been laid off and half the people left don’t know what their role is after the last reorg.

Yep, Accenture F’s up and causes headaches for teams daily and their Nike managers enable and hide it.
We’ve got some weird loyalties lately.

@hj I can tell you from experience that the approach is “cut and patch” or just make the moves and clean up what you broke later. This is how GT operated in the April RIF. They had no idea the things they were breaking but knew they could not punt on it as already months late. Will keep that approach is my guess.

@gb this will certainly not happen by fiscal 27 end. Nike moves at glacier speed... what you describe is an avalanche. To juice the stock up, avalanche speed is necessary.

@dr Phaae 1 is RTO and jamming all of GT into those buildings. Bump up the misery and juice those attrition numbers.

Phase 2 is cutting nearly every Beaverton-based GT role as ITC ramps up, thus emptying those buildings.

Phase 3 is the divestiture of west campus.

I’m guessing that’s all by end of fiscal 27.

I was thinking, gee, I wonder if GPS has been told about which groups are getting laid off so they don't need to basically re-do months of return to office planning. Then I scoffed and realized, of course they haven't been, that would make too much sense to avoid creating a situation where they'd have to restructure immediately.

On another note, does anyone know the capacity of the buildings around Terra TC, Swift/ Talaria? Now that we know which buildings tech is being consolidated into, we can get an upper limit of how many people they plan on keeping

All of us in Tech are going to be laid off the first week of RTO, with our roles transitioned over to India HQ being stood up.

I clock in by 10 and leave by 3. There’s really no purpose sticking around all day.

If my day starts earlier, it ends earlier.

OP, you make the perfect case for going and finding a job that better fits your needs. You clearly understand the changes that are happening and there is nothing that is going to stop the change. You can stay and be frustrated and complain while eventually ending up on a layoff list or you can start looking for an exit. Tough job market but not impossible yet.

People are going to coffee badge the moment it starts. Most managers I've talked to are ambivalent or opposed to the change. Some teams don't even have assigned desks.

We are not "colocated" with anyone when over half the team is overseas. This is purely a move to drive up attrition
