Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

Are people just ignorant or stupid posting congrats on linkedin posts?

It should be common knowledge by now that those retiring now are most likely let go. I was looking at NK's departing message, and people were just commenting by congratulating for the new journey. It su-ks how stupid the overall professional network is where you are always positive and smiling and congratulating despite what is happening.

I believe these anonymous forums are much better where atleast people are not fake. Although there are some racist outsiders asking for funding their agenda at the expense of situation, or some desperate ones thinking that asking ETWs to be sacked here would save them. but overall people are honest and concerned. LinkedIn su-ks in this aspect.

NK was the CSO - Chief Sustainability Officer and is a generous and kind human being. He did amazing things in his time there. The swoosh let one of the good ones go. Such a shame that forced retirement nonsense.

You must not be reading the same posts on LinkedIn that I have particularly the one calling out John Don as the worst leader in Nikes history. I thought it was refreshing to see such an unvarnished take that someone attached their name to.

It’s called being gracious and polite

Wouldn’t it be extremely weird and rude to respond to a post framing one’s departure as “retiring” and “being ready for the next adventure” and the like (not saying these are exact quotes from NK’s, just feel like that’s often the sort of tone) with assumptions that it was against their will and expressing condolences? If someone frames it as their own decision, people are going to take them at their word not necessarily so much out of stupidity as politeness.

I think you need to understand that Linkedin has a lot of "auto" reply options and AI generated content which leans positive.
