PK’s famous quote. But then why have a bunch of marketing VPs been let go? Does this mean more cuts are coming in the global and geo marketing teams?

DJ was the worst of the worst so there is now hope
prior to 2019 it was not like that. its was RAT who created all this mess.
I have seen one of the person was hired like SR DR and with in 3 months he was promoted to be a VP. also there are so many Sr DR who are hired on H1B visa.
It's so unusual how all these got unnoticed.
“VP’s reporting to VP’s” is a big problem at Nike. I’ve never been at a company with so many VP’s. It’s like that title is a reward doled out to people as an incentive rather than something that happens out of necessity.
Most of us know that VP’s are never laid off at Nike. They “retire”. Nevermind that such “retirement” isn’t voluntary and most of them seek work elsewhere after “retiring”. It’s tough though because $450K/year jobs don’t grow on trees.
OF COURSE marketing in global and geo will be impacted. That's a no-brainer with the whole priority field of play conversation. The sheer size of the organization is enough to make it a target, let alone VPs reporting into VPs and adding complexity where it's not needed...
We are a marketing oriented company. And those leaders were not good.
Well DJ for one, or do you believe the retirement fairytale?
Who from marketing got let go?
Define effective
Probably because the marketing they did was not effective enough?
