Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

Delusional request from upper management

Our dept received an email to package all our current work in flight on files and to upload them in box. I imagine it’s so they can dump all our workload onto some poor sap once we all get the axe. A huge miss from leadership and shows how extremely out of touch they are with their team’s mental health. We are all already hanging by a thread, and now they want favors before they can you.

Its just some of the product creation supporting functions that will likely fold into the fields of play as a direct report. This is a good thing, as the over-silo'd approach over the past 5 years has led to moat building and gridlock to get anything done. Teams need to chart their own destiny (again)

Box will be gone before they actually find anything. Not like you can find anything there now anyway.

Package it and password protect before uploading. By the time they figure out, you’ll be long gone with your severance etc

The "poor saps" receiving the new workload will be remote prison labor (political dissidents) in Western Chinese "re-education camps" earning zero per hour.

Nike at its finest.

Don’t do it and let them figure it out later. What are they doing to do, fire you? Decisions were already made.

As if that would do any good.

There’s no way they’re delusional enough to think that people can switch off work in the middle of a sentence. Right?

God. The things clueless management asks for.
