Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

@jx jealous much? Sad bc you will never get that type of role like ac ? Troll

@mn Look at Target for a case study of what happens when a company ignores social awareness. Are you truly that blind to think it has no value to a company like Nike?

@mp The "lefts" aren't the one in a populist cult. The fact people like you are out there trying to normalize what is going on is what shows lack of individual thought.

@jx you do realize that everyone around him is Indian but somehow you want to blame ac?

@m8 so true, since when did anyone buy a product because it represents a social cause, dangerous line to tow

@m8 I like to push woke talking points just to score political points with my coworkers. It’s an easy way to look compassionate and insightful without actually doing much.

Political correctness wrecked Nike. The only thing that should matter is making great product inspired by sport. That’s it. Until leadership actually focuses on that, the stock will remain in free fall.

Customers don’t care about the gender or skin color of executives. The irony is by acting like it matters, the company made itself more intolerant.

@k3 thank you. I’m just reporting on the facts though. It’s the truth that deserves the credit of being sensational.

forget DEI, it’s simpler and less hateful. It’s Arties fault.

DEI was the biggest lie sold to corporate America.

wouldn't say it means, if you're not a minority you're out
but would say if you are a minority, you're in a better position, but still not in a great position and you could be out too

also, maybe there are no layoffs or they are really small, just ongoing every few months, kinda like what's been happening for a long time anyway

really, no one knows, other than the vp's and hr

if not now, then when, and if later, then how much later, and how often in the future

questions no one can answer

but everyone should be looking for a new job, even just a little bit, because you never know and you when the ax falls, you want to be ready

@f2

No, direct correlation of a business losing a quarter of a trillion dollars in value to a hiring and promotion system wherein merit was second to race and gender is not possible.

Is it a mere coincidence this coincides with Nike’s struggles?

@e0 agreed. All for raising awareness, reducing bias, and ensuring we have equality in all of our practices. Both internal, and with our partners (vendors/suppliers/factories/etc…).

The method is what I think riles people up. Going past the point of an equal playing field… and tipping it in favor for one group over another is as far off the mark as the previous. Trading one flavor of discrimination for another.

This of course comes to life during layoff season. Knowing what Nike prefers as an organization (promotion and retention) can aid people in making career decisions.

@dr You can appreciate the goal and still criticize the method. The phrase "Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater comes to mind"

@db thank you for the support!

@dq …so you’re saying all of the posts challenging this thread (and all of the vote/reactions) are double agent MAGA posters. Right.

It would seem there is a great appetite for DEI initiatives, so long as we don’t publish the data behind it.

@dk The hate is coming from right wing MAGA guzzling extremists pretending to be left leaning because their dear leader told them DEI is bad

What’s with all the hate? I thought Nike was making great progress on the DEI front.

I get why one group may not like this. But the hate seems to be coming from left leaning posters that otherwise would seemingly support DEI.

Shouldn’t we be celebrating these numbers? Is it that the information is inaccurate? Or that we don’t want it publicized? Is it that it isn’t enough progress?

@cs Environmental, Social, and Governance Not a term you hear nearly as much as DEI but I think it predates it since the (S) is what people consider DEI

@db is monetizing DEI for personal gain a bad thing?

@OP+1kmgwg4zm congrats on reaching the ”HOT TOPIC (1,000 Views/10 Replies)” goals in under 24 hours. For your previous post, you missed the ”HOT TOPIC” goals by four replies and too many days. Did you receive a partial payout?

@bh What is ESG?

@be
2015 = 36%
2024 = 44%

@be none the less, you can't deny the general theme when you look at the content over the years (that 2020 era was some heavy loaded stuff, and many companies faulted by it)

2015–2017: Nike treats sustainability like an engineering problem
2018–2019: ESG becomes external-facing and investor-relevant
2020–2021: DEI Takes Center Stage, ESG becomes social + political positioning
2022–2024: ESG becomes how Nike runs the company

now that last point, 'how nike runs the company' - is that the right move?
2015-2019 - seems ok
2020-2021 - seems not ok
2022-2024 - no, companies are run on innovation and blowing their competitors out of the water, not ESG first

and here we are....wow!

@b9 More LLM slop, you just asked it to find the links for each impact report. Lets see, 2015 impact report
Global Employees: 48% Female, 52% Male

Current
Global Employees: Female: 51%, Male: 49%

Yet your AI slop says a whopping 20-30% increase in women.

Try again with a little effort, troll

Got it. Posting factual data built on publicly available information is racist.

Calling all white men that worked at Nike before a certain period “hacks” is not racist.

@b6 nope. Not new info. Look at the summary section. Someone told an LLM to fake the data using interpolation and with such limited data that is the same as just making it up

@a6 there was a post last week with a subset of this info. But not back to 2015. Not sure if newly provided info qualifies as spamming.

@aq agreed. Race and gender shouldn’t be obsessed for hiring and promotion decisions.

Not sure if the person obsessed with CS now being obsessed with women is an improvement

Right wingers sure are obsessed with people's gender and race. Bunch of snowflakes.

how much are we going to spam this sh-t?
