What orgs are seeing invites today?

What areas are seeing invites pop up today? Guessing GT will be late next week, just to extend the agony of working in this sarlacc of an org a tiny bit more. People of a certain age may remember this pit-like creature from Return of the Jedi... — read more 

I got the invite

Invite from my VP for today. I feel totally unprepared for this conversation no matter what the news is, but my gut tells me it’s bad. Best of luck to you all.

Innovation and RTO

[..] Nvidia is doing fairly well. It has grown by 225%, from $678.42B in April 2020 to $2.20T as of April 2024, and is now one of the three most valuable companies in the world. And, it has done so fully remotely... — read more 

Updates on FAQ on the Path Ahead Workvivo

I found this out only yesterday, and was confused why there was no formal communication. But if you go back to “The Path Ahead FAQ” on workvivo, they updated it with information yesterday. They advise all teams to work remote if they are WHQ based... — read more 

JD in quote the pickle

JD and his minions working overtime in a panic to decide if WFH next week is the way to go. Timing wise, what a big swing and a miss for his PR team to release comments about us not being “disruptive” working from home. Not surprising, as this is a... — read more 

I’m just sad

I’m sad for you. I’m sad for me. I’m sad for my team. This just doesn’t feel like Nike. I love everyone on my team and I love everyone here at Nike. I’m so happy to be here and I hope everyone stays safe. My gut tells me I’m gone, and I’ll find... — read more

Health & Wellness benefits

Will we still able to utilize the balance of our health & wellness benefits, if we were let go on coming Monday ? Or advice is to quickly submit the claims before Monday?

My entire team hasn't done any work this week

We had assumed JD would communicate at some point but instead we've just spent all this time anxiously waiting for information. We don't know whether Cathy's email about WHQ applies to us or not. Our boss seems distracted too -- it's all just so... — read more

My entire team hasn't done any work this week

We had assumed JD would give us a timeline at some point but instead we've just spent the time anxiously waiting for a note that never came. Even our boss said she understood why we were so distracted. Lame because it was totally avoidable. Just a... — read more 

We have an event on campus on Monday

It's Thursday night, any chance MM is going to tell us if we should cancel or not? I hope they explain why they waited so long to tell us about WFH.

I had assumed Cathy Sparks' email was sent prior to a global note due to time zones. A bunch of us expected one to follow today. And yet...

I understand that geos have to deal with time zones so they send notes like this during WHQ's afternoon, which is their morning. And I think a lot of us saw Cathy Sparks send her email and read that as a "tell" that the global note, or a NA note, was... — read more

We have been told absolutely nothing

No direction on whether we are supposed to work from home or not. No guidance on how next week is supposed to go. The only thing we have been told is we are phase 2. How is it that other groups have direction and others have absolutely nothing? — read more 

just got an invite ….

Just got an invite for tomorrow morning from my VP. I feel sick and my hands are shivering, though I had told myself before that it would be ok, and that this is nothing personal. Well, let’s see.

Anybody else taking Klonopin right now?

I was told by my manager to stay home tomorrow and Monday and preferably the rest of next week. He said he has confirmed with VP that no more changes in our team as we were hit hard in phase 1. The more he tried to say we are safe the more stress I... — read more 

Prep Questions

Sorry if this has been posted before, if so it’s buried now. But wanted to start a helpful thread of questions to ask HR in the case that one is laid off. If you’ve experienced a lay off please share your wisdom. How long should individuals expect... — read more 

2 different invites - don’t panic!

Our leadership confirmed that there will be two types of invites sent out from SD/VP; it would be either to let you know that you’re leaving or continuing. Don’t panic if you see one on your calendar; it may not be that you’ve been laid off. They... — read more 

Last Lake walk

Gen x age here, been here over 15 years. Based off phase one, it’s clear I’ll be aged out even though consistent HS CFEs. I’ll probably do a few lake loops today, say hi if you see me. It’s been a good ride, feels so awful this is how it ends. See... — read more 

5k layoffs this time

TPM confirmed that 5k lay offs this time starting from Monday. We had 3k laid off last time..

ITC impact?

Does anyone know if ITC has already been hit, or if they will be?

So APLA just received a note, after GC/EMEA did earlier this week. Is JD this allergic to communicating to the global workforce??

So let me get this straight. GC got a note for Wave 2. EMEA got a note. And APLA just got a note. But no communication at all for global/WHQ? I don't get it. Has Wave 2 started in full and us at WHQ are just the last to find out? Sure would have... — read more 

What about ETW's?

ETW for a year and a half. Been told our dept should be safe (whatever that means nowadays) and that our contracts "protect" us to a degree, but would we find out next week along with FTE's? We don't get severance or anything but I'm thinking the... — read more 

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... — read more
