How about all those all-staff messages offering EAP to Nike employees who might be doing it tough with the impending layoffs? Said nobody :(
I started over a year post CDA and it was all anyone could talk about. People were incredibly territorial and protective and this lasted well beyond my first year in the job. Only in the last few months did it seem as if people were beginning to come out of the CDA and Covid trauma and begin to be open again and now it's starting again.
The only people not completely worn out by this vicious cycle are the blissfully ignorant who came in since CDA, meanwhile our most valuable knowledge walked, ran, or was booted out the doors.
Whether or not this one is as bad as CDA, in way of what the outcome is and whether its logical, the earlier damage was already terminal. Where I sit productivity has been in steady decline since 2017 and did not fractionally recover from the cliff it was pushed over by CDA. That was three years ago. Morale was visibly DOA on Monday. Want to know where our innovation went? Out the door in more than a few ways, dead with the last fu--s to give and certainly not coming back in a beaten workforce barely going through the motions.
Never forget, last time JD told us we asked for it. Big guy got what he unwittingly bargained for.
