Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

Slack Awards

The personalities of slack at Nike:

  1. JR - responds to every and each question in COP and AI channels

  2. DM - pretty much has her own store in Alt Class

  3. JM - posts every shoe drop in sneaker channels, the good and the bad

  4. Van - everyone getting heart broken over drops that have a lower win rate than SNKRs

  5. EV - daily complaining that people aren’t charging their cars or stayed over time limit acting like it will make a difference

Can’t imagine the amount of time wasted in some of these channels.

What else?

Slack as a communication vehicle is terrific.

Slack as a "social media at work" time ki-ler is not.

And no don’t pull the “but but we need social things while working”…

Nope you don’t, you are getting paid while at work. Go to lunch or Slack alt-whatever at lunch if you want. Not ALL DAY...

JR post some of the most helpful responses on Slack. JM’s posts are easier to consume that other outlets that provide similar info. Thanks to both.

@hd maybe it is anon so people will feel comfortable sharing about, you know, their jobs? I am guessing you are in GT.

@d5 says the person posting to this forum during business hours while obviously not doing any work. Seems like a heavy amount of projection going on with some self loathing.

Not even close to being as annoying as the chat spam in zooms for all hands.

@d5 meh. I was raised not to judge people. I guess we’re all different though.

@cz there's a difference between "regular poster that's helpful" and "needs to comment on everything so what else are they actually doing"

I know the regular posters on the slack channels get a lot of hate.

I am certainly appreciative of it. Takes a bit of courage, especially at Nike. I’ve worked for bosses at Nike that gave me grief for commenting in those channels before. A lot of it is informative to more junior people.

Thank you JR and the rest of you.
