Did anyone catch a Freudian slip yesterday? I feel like there was a lot of stammering because of nerves to deliver bad news. But did anyone catch this?
This isn’t verbatim, but something was said along the lines of - we have to make tough calls.. why? For the greater good of the KING — and then instantly corrected to TEAM.
Corporate jargon based on gaslighting! The benefits of staying are thinning and that’s exactly what they want before another round of lay offs. More people quit the less they have to pay out. Watch in Jan they will announce 5 days in office! And salary has plateaued at Nike - it’s comparable to others if not getting a bit smaller. I just got an amazing offer 30k more than Nike
Wow, this thread got sanitized, there were like 4 times the comments
@fv who needs a pension!! For just 25 years of your life you can get that waffle ring!! Lol it looks like it came from a toy machine. And that was supposed to be the good news they end with to lighten the mood. That is… a choice
If you survive the Hunger Games for 25 years you get a ring? Is this EH’s version of a beautiful new ballroom?
@am imagine sitting up front of that mess, what a kick to the nuts to all the employees trying to bring energy to open up the new store.
Quite uncomfortable feeling right now that the current CEO of one of the best marketing companies in the world had a blunder that big on stage 😬
Yeah, EH did look nervous even distracted. And why did they say only DC and retail lose WW when office workers do too. That was confusing.
What I don't understand is, if that topic is so uncomfortable why bring it up on an open forum. I mean plenty of bad news is filtered down over email anonymously. The whole thing was a sh1t show. This'll go down as EH's 'pound of flesh' moment. Who TF is advising EH on the comms side? They really dropped the ball on this.
