The chefs kiss to this mess is the pound of flesh servant leader sending the WFH email behind a ELT group message. The ceo is a loser.

[..] Nvidia is doing fairly well. It has grown by 225%, from $678.42B in April 2020 to $2.20T as of April 2024, and is now one of the three most valuable companies in the world. And, it has done so fully remotely... — read more 

I found this out only yesterday, and was confused why there was no formal communication. But if you go back to “The Path Ahead FAQ” on workvivo, they updated it with information yesterday. They advise all teams to work remote if they are WHQ based... — read more 

Bob Slydell: You see, what we're actually trying to do here is, we're trying to get a feel for how people spend their day at work... so, if you would, would you walk us through a typical day, for you? Peter Gibbons: Yeah. Bob Slydell: Great. Peter... — read more 

JD and his minions working overtime in a panic to decide if WFH next week is the way to go. Timing wise, what a big swing and a miss for his PR team to release comments about us not being “disruptive” working from home. Not surprising, as this is a... — read more 

I’m sad for you. I’m sad for me. I’m sad for my team. This just doesn’t feel like Nike. I love everyone on my team and I love everyone here at Nike. I’m so happy to be here and I hope everyone stays safe. My gut tells me I’m gone, and I’ll find... — read more 

Just asking for a friend.

Get ready. This forum is about to pickup some steam again.. It’ll be sad, it’ll be angry, they’ll be some fighting and stupid things said.. things will get heated and they’ll be some funny comments to lighten the mood. We’ll laugh, we’ll cry, we... — read more 

Will we still able to utilize the balance of our health & wellness benefits, if we were let go on coming Monday ? Or advice is to quickly submit the claims before Monday?

It's madness. Mostly it's just so confusing - my team has no idea what the actual recommendations are because we haven't gotten any of the geo emails, but because of the matrix I work with multiple VPs who are all saying slight variations of what to... — read more 

We had assumed JD would communicate at some point but instead we've just spent all this time anxiously waiting for information. We don't know whether Cathy's email about WHQ applies to us or not. Our boss seems distracted too -- it's all just so... — read more 

We had assumed JD would give us a timeline at some point but instead we've just spent the time anxiously waiting for a note that never came. Even our boss said she understood why we were so distracted. Lame because it was totally avoidable. Just a... — read more 

It's Thursday night, any chance MM is going to tell us if we should cancel or not? I hope they explain why they waited so long to tell us about WFH.

If I had gotten any information on timing around when EMEA/GC did, I would've been able to focus and do my job. But crickets. Thanks Mo. HR just doesn't care about the employee experience. There's so many notes going around, seemingly to everyone but... — read more 

I understand that geos have to deal with time zones so they send notes like this during WHQ's afternoon, which is their morning. And I think a lot of us saw Cathy Sparks send her email and read that as a "tell" that the global note, or a NA note, was... — read more 

No direction on whether we are supposed to work from home or not. No guidance on how next week is supposed to go. The only thing we have been told is we are phase 2. How is it that other groups have direction and others have absolutely nothing? — read more 

Just got an invite for tomorrow morning from my VP. I feel sick and my hands are shivering, though I had told myself before that it would be ok, and that this is nothing personal. Well, let’s see.

I was told by my manager to stay home tomorrow and Monday and preferably the rest of next week. He said he has confirmed with VP that no more changes in our team as we were hit hard in phase 1. The more he tried to say we are safe the more stress I... — read more 

Sorry if this has been posted before, if so it’s buried now. But wanted to start a helpful thread of questions to ask HR in the case that one is laid off. If you’ve experienced a lay off please share your wisdom. How long should individuals expect... — read more 

This one thing will increase employee engagement by 18% !

Everyone loves to dunk on the GAP team in GT but any news?

Our leadership confirmed that there will be two types of invites sent out from SD/VP; it would be either to let you know that you’re leaving or continuing. Don’t panic if you see one on your calendar; it may not be that you’ve been laid off. They... — read more 

Gen x age here, been here over 15 years. Based off phase one, it’s clear I’ll be aged out even though consistent HS CFEs. I’ll probably do a few lake loops today, say hi if you see me. It’s been a good ride, feels so awful this is how it ends. See... — read more 

Will that team really gonna save millions of dollars by asking most of the techops to migrate their infrastructure to NPE? I have used their product during recent workshop. It works but not sure if it is reliable to use it in terms of performance... — read more 

TPM confirmed that 5k lay offs this time starting from Monday. We had 3k laid off last time..

Does anyone know if ITC has already been hit, or if they will be?

Sounds like we might be WFH next week. Guess we'll find out at the last minute. This was the promise JD gave us for transparency? This company used to be very pro-parent, but letting us know over the weekend that we're not coming into the office on... — read more 

APLA email just went out. Why didn't we hear this from JD? Or did I miss it? Or do all the notes from geos but not global mean that they're all working from home but Beaverton isn't? Can't imagine why they'd do that but who knows. Maybe JD's comments... — read more 

So let me get this straight. GC got a note for Wave 2. EMEA got a note. And APLA just got a note. But no communication at all for global/WHQ? I don't get it. Has Wave 2 started in full and us at WHQ are just the last to find out? Sure would have... — read more 

ETW for a year and a half. Been told our dept should be safe (whatever that means nowadays) and that our contracts "protect" us to a degree, but would we find out next week along with FTE's? We don't get severance or anything but I'm thinking the... — read more 

Our dept received an email to package all our current work in flight on files and to upload them in box. I imagine it’s so they can dump all our workload onto some poor sap once we all get the axe. A huge miss from leadership and shows how extremely... — read more

Things supposed to be happening this week. Anyone hear more?
