Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

tech survey: 60% of laptops are offline during fridays

@df people don't do anything,I standby that 100%. The fact that you can't admit that I'm right is a you problem.

Lol d-mb take

Yes, taking away another benefit is definitely going to motivate us to make better products and do our best work. /S

Personally, I think the issue is about how we feel about our job. When we were doing our best work and the stock market reflected it, most of us were proud to be here. It’s hard to see light at the end of the tunnel in today’s climate when our LT just sees us as an expense on a spreadsheet. No one’s going to go above and beyond when you aren’t even sure if you will have a job in a months time. Will we continue to do our job? Sure - to “meet expectations.”

@b9 when I was at Nike (left late last year), I had a full bar set up for my team and cross functional teammates in our area. We worked hard, and even though it was not a lot, I tried to show support for the team by giving them a chance to relax and have fellowship outside of excel spreadsheets and zoom meetings. We had music going in the office, set up the tvs for march madness, europa, CL matches, and had an annual mint julep happy hour the Thursday before the derby.

@d9 everything written on the internet, especially anonymous forums, is true and earnest. No one ever trolls or agitates.

@b9 Those beer fridges harvested all
of the now alcoholics that have to drink to tolerate the toxic work environment. Work is a place for work - put your beer down and actually do you job. The culture doesn’t matter anymore. Simply stated the culture consists of unethical leaders who lack any morals. The “club” of b**tlickers with HR in one hand and their beer in the other. What happens after that is all secret - until it’s not.

@d9 your comment is assuming others aren't doing anything, the other comment is saying THEY arent doing anything. The fact you cant see the difference is a you problem.

@a1 HAHAHA I get downvoted by saying "very few people are actually productive from home as it is" and the post with the clown saying he will continue to do absolutely no work on friday's gets upvoted.

This place is a dumpster fire and all you who are doing absolutely nothing but collecting paychecks are the root cause.

ITC heads are going to demand 10 hour workdays next. They don't understand the difference between working "hard" and working effectively

Hilarious! Also campus should be called PHK. Well done buddy

what happened to the beer fridges, we used to have beer fridges in every pod and we'd, you know, drink beer, eat pizza and be cool

bring that back? cost what, 10 bucks here and there

simple culture changes

The new MFA is a swoosh shaped bu-----g that read your an-s print

Let's do it! I'm ready for my Nike microchip!

In the current era of widespread AI application, the idea that we need longer working hours is frankly ridiculous. I believe that doing the right things is far more important to success than simply doing more things. The fact that the company has reached this low point is the direct consequence of numerous leadership failures. For years, we have been sprinting back and forth between two completely different directions. One moment, we are diving headfirst into digital-first direct-to-consumer (DTC) sales; the next, we are reversing course to put geographic and regional wholesalers back at the center of our strategy. One moment, there is a push to transform the company into a high-tech powerhouse by hiring a massive influx of IT staff; the next, there is a desperate rush to outsource everything, moving critical technical departments to ITC where costs are lower, but responsiveness and efficiency are dismal.

These constant flip-flops and erratic shifts have happened so frequently that no one knows what they are supposed to be doing anymore. Even worse, no one dares to set any long-term goals. The dire state the company is in today rests entirely on the shoulders of leadership.

Let's go 5 days in office and laptop monitoring. Strict 8-5pm policy. Timeclocks and all. Too many lazy people

OK after no WW, mandating RTO, endless layoffs, getting chastised on Zoom and making EH cry (gaslighting us)...let's get rid of one of the only positive morale things employees have. That'll drive growth.

Stock is down because we are not able to sell shoes. Period. Layoffs / ending summer hours etc won't move the needle.

We need to better our understanding of what customers and consumers want and improve our products.

Would it matter?

I’ll be brutally honest: when I work from home I’m only doing actual work if I absolutely, positively, 100% can’t avoid it. And trust me, I’m pretty good at being creative when it comes to avoiding work.

People will downvote this post. While simultaneously knowing I’m not at all rare or unusual. There’s a good reason getting replies to emails on Fridays is like pulling teeth. A majority of people are doing anything and everything BUT working.

Right

The stock is in the s h I t t e r and margins are down bc of summer hours

Genius

@a1 RTO on a Friday just means people acting like their busy from 11am-4pm no one wants to work on a Friday. Friday is a wrap up day. Even emails don’t get sent out. You save them for Monday otherwise they get lost in peoples inboxes.

keep your workers happy and you never need to worry about wooden shoes

Lol, I will continue to do absolutely no work on Friday afternoons, summer hours or not.

What does Summer hours have to do with the stock price? If people are unproductive, that tells me their manager/Director/Sr isn’t doing their job. Either someone is productive or not. Period.

You think this is the answer? Might as well keep summer hours unless you are doing RTO on Friday, very few people are actually productive from home as it is. Unfortunate, but true.
