Rumors are swirling about returning to the office five days a week in the Fall. Does anyone have any more info on this? Between this, the layoffs, sh---y bonuses and a generally soulless culture, this may be the end.
These org changes accomplish nothing
These org changes ain’t fixing anything. It’s just leaders picking who to get rid of and who to bring on their team. But when the people calling the shots are the problem, the results are gonna su-k too. This isn’t some big comeback. The real issue... — read more

Please don’t take performance ratings seriously
In most cases, they exist more as a tool to justify job cuts or to pave the way for someone else's promotion, often someone who may not fully deserve it. These ratings rarely reflect your actual achievements, skills, or true potential. Don’t take... — read more

Give us some recognition for job well done

Goodbye to the worst of DEI

Timing of things
Are moves happening all week or is it just Mondays? Do we know when this will all shake out or are we just going with the flow here?
“We gotta bring Nike back!”
Between that and “The people is what make Nike” is what they love to say YET they somehow haven’t realized those people are gone due to layoffs or left because of how bad it is. Very few people that work for the brand now actually know and embody... — read more
