Everyone here used to have a pretty good idea how safe their job was. You more or less knew how valuable you were and how much your work was needed. That has now all changed and we saw it in the last layoff when high performers who performed critical work were let go for no obvious reason. In my group we even ended up having to hire new people to replace some who never should have been let go to begin with. It made no sense whatsoever. Whatever criteria Nike uses to get rid of people it seems to be a closely guarded secret, to be indiscriminate, and to often make no sense. This is why NO ONE should ever think “They wouldn’t get rid of me.” Sure they would. If it does happen don’t try to make any sense of it. There’s a good chance you’ll never know why you were randomly selected.
Well said, @ksu+1h6dUH3J.
