It shows her location as WA field instead of WHQ.

@1qt As. I competent MD is, no unhinged rant about her incompetence is incomplete without an unhinged rant from a racist snowflake.
She was remote all right. Never showed up to work for a single day except to make a few remote announcements about “AI everything” and post pics of her prost---ted family on the gram.
She’ll be the next CEO of EBay or join JD as an athletic director at Stanford. Yeah, she doesn’t know anything about sports, but she didn’t know anything about tech or fashion or clothes either, and look where it got her. Turkish hib lying on a resume, but that’s the America we live in. Foreign + woman + dark but not too dark + completely fabricated backstory of nonsense = C-suite
@fb regardless you can just claim your tax back on days not actually working in Oregon, it’s pretty straight forward
If she was classified as WA field office, why would she need an apartment close to WHQ? Why would she need to travel frequently, to the point of discussing it openly?
If truly classified as WA field office, Nike wouldn’t have deducted Oregon income taxes.
Sounds like tax fraud to me. No?
"taxes are based on where you work, not where you live. If you live in Vancouver and work at WHQ, you get taxed in Oregon"
Yeah, but that's also a healthy heap of bullsh-t. Sure, taxes are based on where you work, but when I never actually step foot in an office in Oregon, I can tell the IRS I never worked in Oregon that year, and HR will support that, and I will NOT get taxed on income from Oregon.
I lost my Job of 10 years after I would not move back to Portland and I had a 100% remote approved Job. Nike has so lost it's way
"leaders" that aren't showing up everyday in person, side by side with their team(s) aren't leaders. The End
Regardless, she’s fully remote now!
taxes are based on where you work, not where you live. If you live in Vancouver and work at WHQ, you get taxed in Oregon. If you are remote and work from Vancouver and live in Vancouver, you get taxed in Vancouver.
If she was classified as a Field office, that means she was listed as a remote worker. If she was in the office at WHQ all week (doubt) then she was illegally dodging Oregon taxes unless she had arrangements with Payroll to exception process her wages or filed on her own to correct.
She also definitely expensed some of her travel to WHQ. I can't speak for all of it, but I know she did some of it.
@ac you think that commute and traffic is worth 10% more? If so why don’t you go live there? Get yourself a raise! It’s because everything had trade offs.
Also, I believe tax is by home address. So they cant just classify them as whq unless they also live in Oregon as their main home filed with Uncle Sam.
@ab No, don't fire employees living in WA, but classify them as WHQ employees so they pay same OR income tax as rest of us. If HR classifies some employees as WA field they don't pay Oregon income taxes.
So indirectly they make 10% more than employees classifies as WHQ.
@aa so should we fire all the people who live in Vancouver because they don’t live in Oregon? That doesn’t make sense. Be there like everyone else that’s it.
@a8 it’s true. She literally talked about it in a group conversation at one of the tech socials where I was there as a third party. Small apartment near campus and looked at there because the cost vs commute of downtown didn’t make sense. Then would fly Alaska down and hated it was expensive for a 20min flight.
@a6 if what you say was correct they would have shown up as WHQ employees not WA field.
The question is not whether they pay for their commute. Being labeled as WA field employee means you do not pay Oregon taxes.
@a6 if that is actually true, great to hear. I’ve heard the contrary from a reliable source. I for one think the RTO policies are silly and not equitable so good for her for finding a solution.
Not a big MD fan but can say from reliable sources she did pay for her own travel every single week and her own apartment. She talked to people about it before. Company doesn’t care where you live if you comply with the RTO policy.
AB and JS both live in Seattle and have to drive down. CJ would drive down on Sunday and back on Thursday night. If people are compliant and here just as much as those who live in Beaverton then who cares?
Nike doesn’t sponsor travel for her. But since tech is just a support function, we don’t need someone from the tech companies. We have enough from within to lead tech.
She never moved to PDX. Shows how invested she was in Nike.
Not just her. Many of the VPs and SDs in GT are remote.
Yep. Nice arrangement she secured for herself. No state income tax and fully funded travel whenever she blesses us with her presence.
