Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

Canned, fake, mailed in presentation

Why was the presentation a bunch of prerecorded snippets and videos ? A meeting devoid of content like some mix tape of random videos made as a placebo in lieu of the truth. What was the purpose ? Are they that afraid of the huddled masses? If so they don’t deserve to lead.

HON can’t speak to a camera without it being scripted and recorded. They wont let her go live. This has been happening for years. She’s incapable of being a person with immediate thoughts and being able to share them.

H pushed his own book. Really man? Be better than that.

CW has always been great at speaking like a person but I think the board got to him yesterday. Now he’s a puppet too.

Unfortunately I don’t see how any of those 4 can ever regain employee trust after that drink the kool-aid skit.

...and wasting $100Ks on cosmetic cr-p like replacing the cobblestone path from Mia Hamm to Tiger Woods with concrete and bricks. Really?...

Those 2 outdoor projects took over 6 months. Had to be around $500k

Horrific. Tone deaf. Insensitive.

Heidi said "Just Do Better" WTF

Entire script was to get us to "BELIEVE" in the brand again...while another 1,000 of our co-workers wait for ANOTHER 3 months to find out if they still have a job. How motivating.

I'll believe in the brand and that these execs take the responsibility they claim when they retain good talent by returning their annual bonuses (if the company is doing that poorly why are you getting bonus anyway?), and waisting $100Ks on cosmetic cr-p like replacing the cobblestone path from Mia Hamm to Tiger Woods with concrete and bricks. Really?

yes, devoid of content - and also of empathy, clarity, and facts. what we got instead was over-scripted corporate-speak and empty platitudes. our leaders came off as robotic and out of touch. H is always a wonderful speaker but nostalgic stories about the past simply don't meet the current moment. my confidence in this company's leadership is at an all-time low.

wait for it, things will get even worse.
They just can't fire more people because of 2 major events: ec24 and paris24. After that, good luck y'all.

Much like the shoes on his feet, we have to take his word that theres a business plan hidden under the table because he’s never going to show it to us peasants.

What is with our CEO and his apathetic attitude to WHAT HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE SELLING? He has the energy & authenticity of a coma patient.

It all just felt rushed... I mean these moments are never fun, but why hastily throw together an all hands then try to be apologetic yet we're having more layoffs? Nothing felt sincere...

I don't know what to say other than it probably was best to say nothing but that's hindsight? I'm more confused after the fact and really becoming more unsure of our leadership team when I was already questioning a lot.

Video. One. They replayed it. In a panic I assume.
