Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

To all the LinkedInflencers

SHUT THE F UP. You are more cringe than my gen Z daughter with your posts about how anyone should reach out to you during this hard time.

I barely know how we are connected

You come off as self promoting instead of caring

You were beneath my pay band and I still don’t care about you

So go back to Tik Tok and leave LinkedIn to adults trying to find a job

Seriously, they’re just as toxic as Nike’s leadership

YES.
The 'here for you' LinkedIn posts are so transparently self-serving. And WTF with the 6453 alumni group? They're either proof of the lingering effects of Stockholm Syndrome or an sad attempt to maintain power through proximity. Either way, you're su-king FUMES people. Move on.

Totally agree. And for those that don't understand this POV, no one is angry about a peer or friend's genuine words of encouragement, but this isn't that. LinkedIn is just another social media wasteland where opportunists are competing for clout and your clicks.

Some of those people that are in the Alumni group makes me kind of never want to join it in fear of being associated with some of their "work styles" and behaviors.

Some of the folks let go in the 2020 and 2017 reorgs were just as psychopaths as some of current leadership team. Overzealous about "you" but reality its a way they can spin it around and be about them.

I guess you need people in the world like that but man does it feel not genuine. I'm sure there are some cool people in that group but the ones I know... trying to stay away as far as possible not to bring them back in my life.

I have been getting direct messages from people at recruiting/staffing companies asking if I was affected and if they can help. What a sleazy way to drum up business.

Right? Unless you are actually hiring and interviewing, or have a tangible value add to people, just shut the F up. I’m here to listen, please reach out, thoughts and prayers… lol These attention seeking su-kers wouldn’t care less about anyone but themselves

There is a difference between self promoting and authentic support. Self promotions are ones who try to show empathy when they cannot relate or have zero connection. Authentic support are those offering to be a referral or offer their connections.

Be the authentic one.

@pvt+1sdXuyf1 It's one thing for people to show support. It's another for them to offer a discount on their BS business when they barely know me.

Where were they before I got RIFfed? Checking in? Reaching out? NOPE.

Like all the people that are sending their heartfelt to “everyone at Nike” during this difficult time, I’ll give you a free coaching session or just the randos that have nothing to do with Nike? Just for clout..

YES!! THIS. And people using this as an opportunity to market their business or services. It's disgusting ambulance-chasing.
You all should be ashamed. Especially those claiming to be something you actually are NOT.
