Seeing Nike employees parading open roles on LinkedIn is disgusting. You continue to layoff really qualified hard workers after you’ve su-ked the soul out of them. Those roles could have been offered to those people first. I’m ashamed to even admit I’m a part of this anymore. Shame on Nike.

Layoffs and all the nonsense narratives that are spewed on this site have NOTHING to do with stock price. It's all about Medicare reimbursements, gov regulations and to a very small degree public sentiment. A huge amount of our stock is owned by massive mutual fund managers who KNOW it's significantly undervalued. The stock had a perfect storm last year of leadership instability and the gov coming after big insurance. Face it, the mu---r of Brian started a horrific downturn for the company which was roaring at the time. Then public sentiment and government tanked it.
Letting Gl 26's to GL 32's go and hiring offshore doesn't move the scale one bit. Sorry but that narrative is immature and un-insightful.
And ANYONE here who who says they want the company to fail isn't someone who has a career goal or isn't an employee at all.
Now throw all your shade and down arrows at me and call me a boomer but the truth is the truth.

We noticed lots of greencard and US citizens were laidoff where H1b in same team survived. This seems one of favoritism for low cost worker. Filed a case for this.
Seems lots of H1b frauds floating around in Texas and Nashville and Oracle is hiring H1b's here ...
The Indian managers who held H1b and laidoff US residents should be questioned.
Lots of news floating around on H1b fraud now.

Does anyone know why there was a big fire drill in EACX yesterday? Are they using this information to gear up for layoffs?

Layoffs right after Easter. Because why not. I hate this place.

The layoffs keep happening over and over again but somehow the same useless people always remain. You know the type. The ones who've been here two decades, add nothing, and have mastered the art of hiding. They need to go, ASAP. Cut them and bring in people with current skills and actual energy. Fresh talent, not the same old faces doing nothing.

Being employed is still better than job hunting while unemployed, so that's what I've been doing. The office has been chaotic for months, which means I can focus on what actually matters to me. Management's inability to manage through layoffs? Not my problem.

Took some work, but I got there. That also means I'm done trying to prove myself, going above and beyond, or giving this job anything beyond what my paycheck already covers. At this point, it's obvious that performance is the last thing that matters in layoff decisions. So no, I'm not ki-ling myself for the slim chance it might save my job.

A new Georgia bill, SB 33, seeks to lower homeowner property taxes. This legislation restricts the growth of residential property values for tax calculations. School officials warn this could significantly reduce school district budgets. Many districts are already near their constitutional 20-mill tax rate cap. This could lead to teacher layoffs in some districts within a few years.

Another round of layoff today. Goodbye GoDaddy, your lack of good management did you dirty. RIP

Run! Yall need to find another job quickly. No one is safe. When your support services like facilities are being cut, you know there is a problem. RUN!!!!

How in the he-l are we supposed to make money for these people when they keep hacking and slashing? Not only did we not even get enough hours to run the store, they just cut 2/5 of our full time staff? And they think hiring team leads will make up for that?

I left Qualcomm back in January. The toxicity was just way too much, and I had to get out. I posted about my experience here a couple of times.

I started a new job two weeks later, and honestly, it’s such a breath of fresh air. People here aren't "warm and fuzzy" or anything, but they get the job done without all the drama. It’s nice to actually feel productive and professional again in a normal work environment.

The pay here is also higher.

Anyone heard that?

I've been working two separate roles at Nike, simultaneously. They let go one whole department last month for one of my positions. And they just offered me half the pay I was getting for my other position. I plan to make next week my last week.

Looks like T-Mobile will buy kinetic, and more layoffs coming. Uniti executives definitely securing their seats in he-l

Are they trying to get back to pre pandemic numbers in personnel?

If you have been let go, How old were you when you were laid off, and what was your years in service?
