Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

Light at the end of the tunnel

Former GT’r here. After over a decade at Nike and getting caught in last April’s layoffs, I finally accepted a new job offer this afternoon.
To my ex-coworkers still in the trenches—carrying triple the workload due to leadership decisions—I see you, and there is hope.
If you are a dedicated, smart professional, please hear this: there are incredible companies out there actively looking for your talent. You deserve to work somewhere where you can actually make a difference and feel valued.
It is completely valid to feel exhausted, frustrated, and anxious about future layoffs right now. Please protect your peace and remember your worth. I’m rooting for you all, and I hope you find a place that respects and rewards everything you bring to the table.

Wishing y'all nothing but the best. Also, fire infrastructure AC!

@dc no. Got the announcement in April, so a few months. Took some time off to reboot and spend time with the family before I really started searching.

@bt I was ok with moving out of state for the right job which helped in getting more interviews. ATS is a real pain right now with job applications submissions. If your resume doesn't have the right keywords then it's typically rejected before it hits a recruiters hand. I fed each job posting into Claude and had it auto generate a resume off that posting based of my skill set and knowledge. Once I fought AI vs AI then I got way more interview opportunities per application. If you go that route then be sure to also ask AI to scrub the metadata and make you as an owner of the document file. Hope that helps!
