I heard they are offered relocation or severance. Anyone heard that?

@aw+1 Looks like all the forced WFO folks are mad leadership doesn’t think they are worthy of remote so they lash out at everyone. We want everyone to WFH if they want, you dingle nut. Be mad at PK and the other dinosaurs in LT that can’t move past doing work the same way their grandparents did.
I know in our org, most of the ITC hires are not the cream of the crop, because the best candidates I've interviewed book it when they get their offers as we are paying 20% or more below the going rate for their services. India salaries have gone up massively since the ones with any skill are smart enough to use negotiating tactics of having landed an offer to leverage bigger offers from other companies and firms.
@aw I don't care about RTO. This is my Job3. Wouldn't mind slimming down to just 2
@ax Too bad most of the Indian resources we hire are _fu--ing_ garbage. Garbage. Their idea of an 8 hour workday is encountering a problem, posting on slack they need help, and then fu--ing around for the next 7 hours. Can't tell you how many times I come into the office in the morning to see "XYZ happened. Need help fixing it" and nothing was done. Add to that.. lack of code quality, lack of ownership, lack of accountability. Just a dumpster fire through and through. We're hiring the cheapest and the d-mbest. Harsh but accurate.
@aw Leadership loves India now because it lets them save 50% on salaries. Right? My state has a 50% cost of living adjustment down from Oregon.
I am being forced to RTO.
Tell me how this makes sense. You’re jealous. Bitter. And not a team player.
Looks like all the wfh folks getting mad about the upcoming RTO.
Don’t be mad at people that get to work remotely, be mad at the leaders that think you aren’t worthy of the same opportunity.
Nike’s clueless leadership:
- We’re replacing all the engineers by expanding the office in India.
- All the folks in North America MUST return to the West Coast where we’ll be forced to offer higher salaries
- It’s not my problem you id--ts have to wake up at 5am every day now. Should have gone to college and joined my frat. Instant Sr Director role.
Geee I wonder why everything su-ks now
@a8 agree with deez nutz. Whomp whomp we work from home so what better than pretending to be busy in an office. Also we go in office just to sit in zoom meetings all day. Doesn’t make sense.
@ag Return to office and work with ACN team on Zoom?
@a5 yeah let’s all return to the office just to sit in zoom meetings. Nice one id--t.
@a1 yeah let’s return to office just to sit in zoom meetings. Nice one mo--n.
@a7 what role?
@a7 Are you VP or above level? I still see folks below VP in different locations.
Isn't MD remote too ?
@a1 Agree, perhaps start with CIS and AI Teams that enjoy remote work.
I am remote and was asked to relocate or leave
Based on the data of people getting laid off, its very clearly showing a subtle RTO push.
@a1 Yeah , I hope so .
All the wfh’ers that are moon lighting will be eliminated.
Look at CIS!
Yea I'm assuming the remaining remote positions are being either eliminated directly with severance, or sometimes the choice to RTO (either the same role or a new one).
I hope Nike starts enforcing RTO equitably across the company.
