*I don’t work at Nike, but my partner does.
It has been half a year since the pandemic started, and four months since Nike announced the layoff. As an outsider and not working for corporate America, I have to admit that I’m furious with the way Nike treats its employees. I’ve been following this site since that day, and I can feel the huge amount of stress that everybody has. As much as I try to stay out of this whole thing, it breaks my heart to see my partner suffering from it: anxiety is going off the roof, plans are being put on hold, losing sleep for nights, yet still have to work his a– off. ELTs obviously do not give a single f about this because they are so safe in their mansions in LO, or like fake JD said in the first all hands meeting “I wake up every morning thinking about you all.” Like seriously, please, you stay in your 8 mil penthouse in the Pearl and you say you think about your employees? If you think about your employees, you would not have a terrible layoff plan like this.
Anw, all I want to say is this f s—s and my is my heart is with you and your loved ones. More importantly, whatever happens, I hope we will figure this out and everything will be alright.
P/S: I don’t think we need to hear “if you are not happy, then leave.” Not everybody has the privilege to just take off and land a job that they like immediately. And seriously, being nice to each other doesn’t really cost anyone anything.
