Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

Pretty sure when they give you notice you have 2 months (hence mid October) but aren’t allowed to work during that time.
Either don’t go in and you missed something in your layoff call or this is fake

this is sincere and true - i am sorry you have to go through this and i wish you all the best no matter what you plan to do tomorrow. i've heard so many similar stories and this company is not the same any more, there is some darkness that crept in and i dont know if it'll ever go away. #godspeed #gold

I just got laid off from Nike after 6 years
They told me my role is no longer needed, with my last day in mid October. Two of us are affected, I do not think this is systemic or a part of a larger plan - it's just that they are tweaking things how the group (~20 folks) works - two of us are affected.

Yet, surprisingly, I feel relief more than shock... The signs were there... mornings felt heavy, mgrs went quiet, and even teammates I thought had my back started to drift away - it felt bad... The energy was 100% off I knew the call was coming.

It stings. At the same time I’d rather be out than stuck in a job that drained me. Theres a strange peace in knowing it’s official.

Anyone else ever feel like the final cut is easier than the slow buildup?

im gonna go in tomorrow. I’ve got people counting on me, and there’s no room for self-pity right now, i'll finish this chapter with dignity and will do a good job... Time to chase the next chapter, onward & upward.

Isn't everyone WFH tomorrow?

Nike is best when it’s in your past…move on and enjoy not dealing with Swoosh-drunk personalities!
There is life outside the berm.

6 years as an ETW is so messed up. Should not be legal.

Sorry to hear that and hope you end up in a better spot.

This might feel like a "challenge" but I promise it's not. I question the validity of this: "even teammates I thought had my back started to drift away" because non of my teammates had any idea I was getting laid off. Sorta makes me think it's the imagination going wild. Maybe if you are an ETW it could be different but... shrug.

Heck even a lot of managers didn't know who was being cut. 100% some did and refused to share (likely under threat of job loss themselves). Keep It Tight... eyeroll.

Are you an Etw?

More power to you @op!!
May be the grass is not greener but I am sure it would still be wonderful!!
