Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

@4sgb+1pedJr4a. You clearly gave never even seen the trimet badge sticker. Just a sticker. You sound like dolt and clearly don't know what you are talking about.

Trollers gonna troll

@4sgb you wouldn't have seen any numbers because it was a sticker on your employee badge. There were no Hop stations to swipe it on, there was no RFID, so there was no tracking. Nice try, though.

Let's say you somehow did have these numbers, magically. Total outlay was ~$1k per pass, and let's say 100% of WHQ black badges got them. That's what, $10M? What do you think JDI day costs every year? Or the ELT's boondoggles to "listen" to employees around the globe? What is the total outlay for Nike PJ services? How much did Nike spend on that tarted up strategy slide?

My personal view - we get more value out of Trimet passes, even "if" no one was using them for every commute like you say, they still helped reduce carbon emissions when they were used.

They went away because everyone went remote. That's fine. You want butts in seats again? It would be a nice gesture to bring them back. They are a godsend for the majority of specialist/analyst level roles that don't make anywhere near $100k+ but have to struggle with rising costs in the Portland MSA.

You should ask to see the numbers on how many people actually used the pass vs how much Nike paid. I have seen them and could tell you it would have been cheaper to hire an uber for everyone who took TriMet daily than it was to provide passes for everyone.

Fat chick's begging for no more crop tops....

@2mdx+1pedJr4a - forward thinking, earth friendly company…what a joke. This one is NOT.

It’s just in brand marketing, reality is very different as we all know

Not everyone makes 6 figures. I used Trimet for over a year daily. As a 1 car family it was a huge benefit. My car was off the road and I could work traveling in and back to work starting at 7am to 6pm. I was in by 8am and worked in the office past 5pm .Seems like something a forward thinking earth friendly company would embrace.

Not only were the tri-met passes a nice employee benefit, but also something that a responsible company should do as part of a larger community to mitigate its impact (ie the crazy traffic congestion that Nike creates on the roads around campus). quit taking the cheap way out and do the right thing as an employer and responsible corporate citizen!!

@1ujl+1pedJr4a this is the right take. Since covid we settled into new, flexible ways of working enabling better collaboration in our every day more distributed, global model. For my team, I'm not sure when I'm supposed to commute in with a day starting 2-3 hours before what the ELT seems to think is happening and 2/3 over by a break where I can drive to WHQ, not even to mention evening meetings. So what does Nike want to give up here? You can't have it all.

Nike wants to provide clear guidance on being in the office but not on how to make the evolution of our working arrangements continue. What we had was agreeable with people because it was a fair trade. This is not because there are no concessions. John and his team talked a lot about confronting reality in the employee meeting, maybe something they ought to try doing.

We always had multiple classes - ELT, WHQ FTE+ETW, Geography FTE+ETW, Employees in various non-WHQ offices.

With lackluster RTO mandate, now we have created another class….Groups that are allowed to continue to stay remote and groups that are asked to go to office 4/1.

Group that’ll stay remote receives monthly stipend for home office. They have budget to travel to offices.

Group that’ll be in office are not getting any monthly allowance because we never did before covid.

Both groups are working odd hours because of global teammates and stakeholders. GT has this worst.

Many employees don’t make 6-figures so your assumption is wrong. Also many employees don’t work at WHQ but report to different offices in different time zones. Many of us even have worked different hours to accommodate WHQ Pacific Time hours and our collaboration went even higher! For the first time, people like us were included in everything! For me personally, this extra day will cost me $450 a month for care and gas. I don’t have it and I’m not sure what I’m going to do. I will lose collaboration time because I have to leave on time to pick up my child now as I was working 9:30-6:30 to have more time with my co-workers. I will also probably never be considered for a promotion because it will go back to the way it was, which was terrible for off campus workers in different offices. For people like us, we were finally equal and we’re able to be included in all project meetings and even run projects. Because I now have leave at 5 to pick up my child and with commute time, I will lose all that time that I was able to be online. Nike is a big company and not everyone sits on campus.

@1ylv Why are you here when you’re not even an employee?

The trimet pass was offered for many many years before Covid. If we’re getting back to normal, why aren’t we actually getting back to normal?

@tse People like you are acting as if coming into the office is some kind of new, untested concept rather than “the norm”. Did you require extra financial compensation to come into the office prior to the pandemic? No? Then why do you think you’re now entitled to it? Do you also realize hundreds of thousands of people locally drive into work everyday without extra compensation because…that’s where their jobs are? And no one else expects to get paid extra just for showing up to work? Nike employees live in their own strange bubble.

You’re all missing the forest for a single tree (4:1).

This all hands screamed “layoffs ahead”

And the meeting was at EMEA (not part of the 4/1 push), so no risk of JD getting booed off stage. The vibe would have been very different if it had been at WHQ.

How is ELT bonus tied to RTO mandate? This information should become public.

Where else can we give feedback though? AES isn’t until March and we don’t get to see the results anyway.

Notice how there hasn’t been a Workvivo post about the 4:1 news. They do not want to provide any sort of forum because they know people are pi---d.

Yeah nice cheap is he-l now. They can’t even find it in the budget to buy us lunch. It’s embarrassing. All I’m saying is the all employee meeting chat is a d-mb place to complain about that.

Man. How broke is Nike that they can’t afford $2 for the train?

We had that benefit for years before Covid and it was such a huge help (for everyone) with parking & commute traffic.

Idk dude, agree to disagree. I’m all for remote work but even I think ppl are being whiny babies. No one is making y’all work here.

You know not everyone at Nike makes six figures, right? Adding a mandatory 4-day work week does impact employees’ finances. It is fair to ask how the company is planning to support the transition.
