Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

How many teams are down to bare bones by now?

How many would completely fall apart if even one more person gets laid off? They act like they can keep cutting forever, but eventually it’s going to catch up to them. Things will stop getting done, and no amount of spin will cover that up.

Enough about the techs. What about the important jobs?

They have full order book for Holidays, but who is going to handle the BAU during Holidays if the Tech teams are re-organized and laid off?

You mean downsized to a realistic size so that everyone has to pull their weight and do some work?

I can understand the imposters are getting afraid now they have to start walking their talk and don't have their ETW's anymore to boss around.

Team was at the point of failure before the layoffs. At this point you might as well get rid of the whole initiative. Earnings not being terrible makes this even more perplexing

We’re past that point.

We were cut past the vein & they slapped the cheapest contractors they could find as a bandaid. Problems are getting hidden. Initiatives are getting delayed or failing outright. Everyone is lying & managing upward. No one cares about what they do. For years management has treated engineers as cogs that can be moved around and exchanged without loss of efficiency or interest.

Leadership has completely forgotten the human element. Our CEO apparently hasn’t. But he hasn’t replaced the worst offenders on his team.

  • Raises hand * and I know many other teams in the same boat in other orgs. I feel like we’re heading towards being a skeleton crew. Plus we don’t get paid enough to do 2 other people’s jobs or atleast I don’t.
