I'm a designer, and the past two years have been incredibly exhausting and demoralizing. Nike no longer resembles the company it was when I first joined. I've been actively looking for a role elsewhere, ideally at a smaller company.
The corporate environment has become increasingly depressing and chaotic. Every reorg, round of cuts, or wave of layoffs is followed by a drawn-out period of “settling,” only for the cycle to repeat itself without pause. And yet, nothing meaningful or inspiring seems to come out of it.
I don’t know how the rest of you are feeling, but I’m tired and completely unmotivated.
