Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

but please please please. don’t make the happiness concept the burden of the managers or employees. don’t say we are a family and have all pot luck parties for which i need to prep or buy on my own time with my own money. a family would not have treated me the way nike has treated me . downgraded, same responsibilities, and then being at range, hardly any raise. that is business, and that is ok.
had my reasons for staying - and I am almost done. but with the treatment above, no not happy, and it will take alot of things to make me trust and then happy again.
And yes, there will not be any extra. getting not paid for it anyways….

Maybe people could afford our shoes if you hadn’t imported 1M scabs. Undercutting everyone’s wages and leading to the highest unemployment since 2008.

South Asians don’t buy Nikes. They ship our money home then retire there.

Yes that is so beautiful and true and now look around the geopolitical environment: No one cares about consumer products. The reality is no one is in the mood to buy sneakers because people are concerned over their lives jobs homes food. I don’t think an American company whose funding of the Rep party and ideology of hate- ICE and an autocrat will care if you come to work feeling self-realized and appreciated at work. It’s almost comical - South Park worthy.

1000% agree. When people don’t feel cared for they don’t care… and workplace culture is the foundation to success. Hence why we’re in the situation we’re in to a large extent.

I don’t believe that Nike is responsible for their employees happiness but I do believe that employees deserve to come to work each day being treated with respect and dignity. I believe that employees should truly be able to speak up about misconduct and HR actually do their job. I’m pretty sure most of what we expect is written in our so-called handbook. You know the one that only applies to certain people. Somehow, there’s always a gray area to every policy we have. Nike has become a disgrace and an embarrassment to the way that they treat their employees and it’s widespread!

Agree 100% that bad morale is bad for a business. Are unhappy employees actually contributing to their fullest potential? probably not. This means innovation and productivity are suffering.
Do i I think Nike is responsible for my personal happiness, no. But I do expect a workplace that provides clarity and a strategic direction that we can rally behind.

@ah if you learn to read, what op says is that a company that works towards employees happiness ends up increasing shareholder value. It doesn’t just say the employers are responsible for it, it says it is bad for biz to keep this low morale.

Leaders of a certain demographic are bringing their caste culture with them. And you’re not in their club. You should just be happy they’re merely making you miserable instead of demanding payment for your continued employment (this is not an exaggeration)

Companies are not responsible for making employees happy. The employee is responsible for doing that on their own. The company is accountable for returning shareholder value. No company cares (or should care) about your happiness.

Agree. It’s hard to create happiness when there’s a constant threat of layoffs. Fear and instability are not key contributors to a happy workplace.
