Thread regarding Adidas layoffs

@53s And still the incompetent managers who have the right connections will remain..this company needs a radical shake up at the top but also new leadership infusion. (And I do not mean old friends from Puma.....)

After today's AI discovery day I'm pretty sure half the jobs can be chopped by this time next year.

@s0 reading the room or their peers and managers. No one cares what you think.

It’s our fault for working under people less than capable. We are addicted to the comfort zone which we’ve built up over the years.

they are like blind kittens, or headless chicken, total insecurity and lack of any vision, even short-term. Trying to mask it with bs fluff, hype bandwagon jumping and trying to look innovative while having zero understanding what they are talking about. Really needs some cleaning and reduction in the seniors structure

@r8+1k3p5a1f2 Reading the room? You should be joking. They only repeat a few slogans like a salad here and there and refrain from taking any decision or having any vision. Voila! You are a leader!

Senior leadership with the exception of a few just read the room and say things that don’t upset the status quo. Can easily be replaced by a chatbot that summarizes text.

Absolutely!! First they should start with CEO Julie Sweet should be replaced with a BOT. She is a DEI hire, promoting woman for leadership role. She can't name one decision or her vision which can be positively quantified.

@aa+1k3p5a1f2 Friends hire friends and cover each others incompetence.

Is it me or every single time some senior push some "vision" I cringe - like dropping some revelation saying the most obvious points any college student or intern would do? Something like, "let's get revenue higher", "we should scale", "connect ecosystem"? Without anything real following up. Like no thought at all behind this all. It's surreal to me. How these people find those jobs? Who hires them? I never seen anything as d-mb as this.

@a8+1k3p5a1f2 I have zero respect for the ones who decide playing the game… they are no better…

their incompetence is visible to everyone, it's really obvious, just some decide to play this game...

@a6+1k3p5a1f2 You need to add that this is the same reason they don’t like smart ones, smart ones call their game while others are busy to clap for leaderships nonsense. Leaders keep and promote only the ones who play three monkeys, so that their incompetence is not visible (at least they believe so)

That is why this level of leadership is all about politics because they know they serve zero purpose and try hard to show that they are needed :)

and politicians as well
