I wish I could get myself to stop checking this site like a gd crack addict every half hour. I said I’m ok with staying or being laid off but as a long timer this one is by far the roughest in regards to stress. Good god. No, I’m not going to go for a run and don’t need an inspirational speech. Nike is not my life and never has been. Can’t imagine what some folks are going through as they wait.

Longest week ever indeed! And then we wait for 3 months for ph2 to be over?
Hard to stay focused and motivated.
How about meditate … love that one … not
I'm not sure if the song that best encapsulates the mood this week is:
- "Loser" by Beck
or
- "In the End" by Linkin Park
Although, there is an argument to made for "All Star" by Smashmouth if you are equally ok with being cut or staying.
Oh, please. You pledged to sacrifice everything for a belief in something (presumably Nike). Now you are unprepared to sacrifice.
Don't virtue-signal ever again, or work for anyone who does. Corporations that virtue-signal are always run by sc-m - this was entirely predictable the moment they put the utterly wretched race hu----r Kaepernick on all the ads.
OP you really should go for a long-ish run
Definitely way more stressful than ones in the past. Knowing about it ahead of time has been life-su-king. So much better when it was all done in a day and you moved on.
I’m actually kind of enjoying this week. When everyone else is acting like a zombie it’s easy to meet the bare minimum of expectations.
go for a run :D
This is probably the best response that encapsulates what most of us feel.
Such a waste of mental resources.
Just do it or don’t, nike! My god
just Bake it
Bake Inc moving forward.
Bain + Nike Inc
Agreed. This layoff thing is getting old. Every couple years the same song and dance.
