Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

Situational awareness

Please do not be situationally unaware. The first and easiest cuts will be people who are not in office 1/8 (excluding remote roles) Management has stated on multiple occasions there will not be any flexibility. I think most layoffs will be at the director and above layer because the company needs “doers” but the rto refusers are low hanging fruit.

The only exception would be people who have had a consistent in office presence and have pto scheduled on 1/8. Other than that they are looking to trim. Directors have left because they cannot be remote. The line has been drawn in sand.

HR BP has told managers that THEIR performance reviews will factor in whether their directs were in the office enough. Expect PIPs if you fail to show up

This is nothing to do with RTO. Scan the organization properly and see how many directors are there with just a single or 2 reports. those all will be affected and the TPM organization created by RAT will be affected too.

Totally agree with @vcn+1qeSx2Ju, the large bulk of any decisions of who will stay or go have been in the works for a while now. Any hope of influencing those decisions would have been in the summer and early fall most likely. Although it often plays out like a bunch of random and chaotic decisions that are made regarding who to lay off, there is a fair amount of thought that goes in to deciding who will step in for x person that is laid off and what will happen with the team or direct reports that person had (if they're a people manager). That doesn't mean there won't be some lingering choices and snap decisions made through January and beyond of course. RTO-based layoffs will be the extra "next %" (if you know, you know) gravy on top of the main RIF.

Not gonna work this way. The layoff strategy has been in progress for months, your presence on 1/8 or not will affect nothing regarding the scope of this strategy.

People who choose to ignore the RTO mandate WILL become the gravy on top of overall cost reduction, though, that is for certain. Our ELT is stupid but not stupid enough to fail accounting for all the voluntary attrition paths on top of their planned RIF.
