Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

Get ready for the tech move to Georgia and India

its simple math really, I can buy many techs for the cost of one tech in Oregon. Even in Georgia its cheaper, and theres plenty of folks begging for work and willing to take a cut

classic bean counter math. If that's the case, why don't we move finance over to China?

“Our compute costs are insane!”

“Quick replace the experienced staff with the cheapest people we can find globally!”

“Compute costs are increasing exponentially!!!”

“What are you doing?! Get rid of the people that know how to fix this even faster!!”

Really though. Nike’s global workforce model absolutely ruined the company’s spine. Leaders are fighting each other instead of our competition. Departments need to be based in a single geo or else you end up with Ouroboros cannibalization.
My Sr. Director has 4 separate geo’s working for him. I spend more time covering my a-s from sabotage than building up Nike.

My guess would be Georgia. It seems as if ATC management if forcing out WHQ team mates with the end goal of increasing ATC staff. If you sit in WHQ but your managers in ATC, look out.

Need to give the head of the Atlanta tech center more headcount, since he doesn't engage with his "other" team in WHQ.

Why pay for a fancy skydiving instructor? My cousin Cletus used to jump outta helicopters in Irag, and he'll teach you how to jump from the town water-tower for a cold sixer. Boy aint worked in months and he hungry.
