Nike's layoffs are like getting fired from a toxic relationship. It hurts at first, then you realize you’re free. The only ones crying are the deadwood who’ve been coasting for years. Pro tip: severance + a new job = upgrade.

If you’re truly unhappy at Nike, it may be worth exploring other opportunities that align better with your values and goals. If that’s not possible right now, it might be helpful to reflect on what’s within your control. Many challenges in life and work are tough, but growth comes from taking ownership rather than placing blame. No job out there is perfect, and often times we have to take on work or face situations that aren’t ideal. That’s part of being a professional. The key is figuring out how to grow through it. I’d recommend spending less time reading and venting on this forum, and more time reflecting on how you can actively improve your situation and surrounding environment.
I appreciate the sentiment, but maybe not in this job market.
WHEN the economy gets good again, Nike kinda fu---d when it comes to retention.
Agreed @op!!
Sad to see that Nike is turning into a toxic bf/gf, you want to leave but you are foolishly and blindly in love with it, unless they dump you and your realize it's for better!!
I guess it depends on the person - for me I work to live vs live to work so I go to my job, do the best I can, ignore all the politics; bad decisions, lazy employees and come home and enjoy my life. I understand this is corporate life and the grass isn’t always greener.
