@k3 leaders are all born and raised in Portland and most have never left so anyone not from the US is a gem to them. Plenty of other companies are just ae or more international. Nike will not move them for cost cutting and there is just as diverse and talented talent In the region. The thing that made them diverse here was that most are not from Oregon outside of this environment they may not be considered so diverse.
@jr Leaders have said APLA has some of the most diverse and dynamic talent they’ve ever worked with. So why not bring them into APGC or move them to the Americas?
Those who keep spreading false optimism and telling everyone to have faith in leadership are either completely out of touch with reality or just trying to su-k up to leadership, polish their own image and secure preferential treatment. The reality is a bloodbath and it will happen sooner than leadership wants to admit
@j2 they said leadership to SG not APLA. Translation: GC and Korea will report into CS in SG and manage the rest from there. Imagine will be GC for GC and Korea covering Korea and Japan. The rest of AP from one of the three- my guess is GC, unless India gets build up to do creation too.
Nike will probably find another office, if Singapore is going to be their Asia HQ.
More people in APGC cities, not Singapore.
If you have been to the Singapore office. It’s a three storey office space with limited capacity even with hot desking. I don’t see how they are going to accommodate more people.
If you believe they will relocate people to Singapore then start believing in the tooth fairy and Easter bunny. They say that so there’s no mass exodus before they are ready. Consider applying to internal jobs. Yeah those might get cut too.
…a group that couldn’t lead their way through a pi-s soaked paper bag with a running start and the sharp end of spoon.
They are not relocating many people to Singapore. Maybe a few execs. They can hire locals there and there already is a team there. So either folks are moved at whq or out. Give up that expat dream. This is cost cutting.
@dm no they said leadership will be based in SG. They already hired / are hiring teams for GC and Korea so doubting there will be a “we will relocate you” plan unless I am in the dark on things
Did they indicate there will be job opportunities in Singapore? Meaning: jobs will open and we will be able to apply internally from across the globe?
@an there are so many scenarios it depends on Nikes plan but typically it’s in SG dollars. I doubt expat benefits will be given to everyone seeing this is a cost cutting exercise and as well they have to prove they can’t find local talent to justify a visa. Given SG is full of people in our industry tbat would be tough.
That said, even in a local contract it would be an incredible career opportunity and likely better than being unemployed in this market. The chances of finding another job in Portland is slim to none and so moving would likely be required anyways.
If I moved to SG, would my salary be localized to the SG market or just converted from USD to SGD? And how does relocation and housing usually work? Are those expat benefits mostly for SD+?
Every nike meeting. If you can talk in circles you can get promoted
Isn’t this true for all all hands meetings?
Are most being given relocation option to Singapore?
Say stuff in the circle is the strategy
