Thread regarding Adidas layoffs

It has everything to do with adidas until they deal with all of their own misogyny, s-xual harassment and corruption in the ranks...

Interesting that Mr. Mark Parker is still on the boards of Nike and Disney. Shameful, but don’t expect anything less from the groomers at Disney. Nike has no shame.

Wtf is this BS post lol, how it’s related to adidas

And this: "In the letter, Pam Parker described the moment she realized she wasn’t in the manager’s hotel room for a business meeting."

“I felt the blood run from my face,” she wrote. “I can’t describe to you the horrific feeling I had in my gut. I didn’t know what to say, I was scared to death thinking quickly. I felt like I had to stay or my career was over.”

When a higher up, someone who holds the keys to your career, thinks that they can and then do make advances on you, t is a total mind f*.

And this:
(Seems like Dan F could corroborate this happened at adi, since he was at adi too...):
"One of the surveys in that release, submitted anonymously, described “men sloppy drunk putting their arms around a waitress and/or female coworkers on work travel.” It also claimed men try to “sleep with women in their function at lower levels by luring them in through the promise of a ‘work dinner.’”

“It’s a total abuse of money and power,” a former Nike employee told The Oregonian/OregonLive, who claimed she endured inappropriate advances by higher-ups. “It’s a very weird power dynamic.”

"On other trips to Asia, Parker said chauffeurs would drive male Nike employees to karaoke bars, known as coffee houses, and the employees would get escorted to private rooms filled with “pr-------es waiting to serve them,” according to her statement."

"Dan Fulton, a long-time veteran of the sneaker industry’s Asian operations, recalled many a long workday that would end with a couple of cars at the factory gate that would transport top managers and U.S. footwear employees to the local karaoke bar."

And this: "On one of those trips, Parker went out for drinks at night with her coworkers. She said she felt going to dinner was part of the job and there was pressure to drink. She found herself in a bar with 15-20 women with numbers on their hips, she said. As she recalled, her male coworkers would point at a woman, then leave the room with her."

"It seemed plain to her, the only female Nike employee at the bar, that the women were pr-------es."

“I don’t know why they would even think that would be enjoyable for me,” she said.

"Parker did not report the alleged hiring of pr-------es on a work trip because she loved her job and didn’t want to lose it."

“I finally had my dream job,” she said. “You have this job you love and these people you love. You start calling foul like that and suddenly you’re off the team. I could not imagine a future of me not being at Nike.”
