Lots more news articles and post views generated about this RIF than the total AI tour. Great marketeering.
Add 10k more evangelists to promote the company at their new employers and it’s a total success.
When do companies fail? Too much debt? Negative cash flow? Or when the customers don’t believe they will be here next year?

I heard a grapevine that citi is tracking the hours you are on your pc or you are offline/ away from your screen. Is there any truth to it? Can managers confirm?

By numbers, JD grew top-line revenue from $37.4B to $51.4B (+37% overall). EH is driving a revenue contraction from $51.4B to a projected ~$46B (-10% decline).

Numbers don’t lie or drop tears. Winning!

Seriously. How is it possible to get out of the hole we are in? Can't lower prices, Customers don't want to come back to us, Can't gain trust to get new customers, Verizon is coming in. I wish Dennis or management would comment on how this company will start making money again! I have been here for a long time and I can't see a way to get out of this hole Altice put us in.

People are being asked to leave. When would this ever end?

Title says it all. All of my doctors are with memorial hermann so I guess I will have to find new ones. Life just keeps getting better and better at excon. So far this year I have spent 1600.00 for a heart scan, 700.00 for specialized blood work and 200.00 for an emergency room co pay plus 10% 600.00. My co worker spent 1200.00 for a colonoscopy. Another exxon employee was denied GLP 1 medication because their a1c was too low for diabetes. Funny thing is without the glp1 medication their a1c was over 7 but with gp1 it was below 6.5. You would think with stock price and money exxon has made they could afford to take care of the employees health care not. I guess indian btcs don't need health care and it is cheaper in india. A company that does not care about the health of its employees is a shameful place to work at. It is not just exxon health insurance is getting worse for everyone in the usa.

Oracle used to be a great company to work for. They really cared about making work GOOD for people, at least in dev teams. They wanted you to be able to work well, so they did everything they could to help - on site dry cleaning, food in the break rooms, ATMs, cafeterias with hot food, and any hardware you wanted that would help you get work done. Need a new big computer - no problem, for ex. Then that stuff started whittling down - no more dry cleaning, worse snacks to no snacks, ATMs removed, fight for new computers, etc. Not big things, but they added up. The message was clear. Then AWS ex-employees showed up and then took over, and now everything is a struggle, people are afraid to be laid off, and there is so much reporting on progress that there is no time to actually MAKE progress. The problem is upper management. Quality work and products are no longer the goal. Now it's work fast and deliver ...anything. Work late into the night, and on weekends, and then write up reports on it. No raises. No stability. Tons of backstabbing. No cooperative work. Just a horrible place to work now. Lots of covering up failures and blaming other people. So sad, because it really used to be great. Just MHO. 30+ years. Got the highest evaluations. Was told I was one of the top few employees in the entire org. Great RSU grants. Then laid off with zero warning by anonymous email in the middle of the night, locked out of the entire building, access to resources cut off immediately. And NOT ONE THANK YOU, for 30 years. I was completely loyal to this company. Now that's all gone.

Before getting laid off manager made sure i conduct extensive knowledge transfer session to IDC. That should have been a sign my days were numbered. Will not recommend any Americans to join this company ever. It is a race to bottom and no cares about what this will do product quality.

Many smart people join full of ambition, only to discover they’re expected to follow old, sometimes wrong traditions. Showing initiative isn’t appreciated unless it’s heavily filtered through the elders of the cult. Many fresh graduates join with big ambitions, only to discover their names will be removed from the PPT and presented by someone else. There’s so much focus on surviving the dirty politics that people stop investing in the growth of their actual skillsets. Beginning of another cycle of this craziness. I know it's easy to say "if you don't like it just leave" but most people will endure the dysfunction longer than they should for so many reasons....

Nike, Inc. trades on the open market, but real control never left Phil Knight.

Through a dual-class share structure and entities like Swoosh LLC, Knight and his inner circle hold the high-vote Class A shares — locking in permanent control while everyone else gets low-vote Class B stock.

The Setup
• Public investors: put up the capital
• Phil Knight: keeps the power

This isn’t accidental — it’s engineered. You can own a meaningful economic stake in Nike and still have virtually no say in how it’s run.

Let’s Call It What It Is

This is legacy control, not meritocracy.

Control doesn’t shift based on performance, results, or shareholder sentiment — it stays concentrated around the founder and those closest to him. When influence is effectively inherited or hand-selected, governance stops being about accountability and starts looking a lot more like nepotism with a stock ticker.

Why It Matters
• Shareholder votes are largely symbolic
• Leadership faces limited real pressure
• Strategic mistakes don’t trigger real consequences

The market absorbs the downside. Control stays put.

Bottom Line

Nike isn’t a truly public company — it’s a founder-controlled empire wrapped in a public listing.

And if you’re buying the stock, you’re not buying influence.

You’re buying into a structure where one family calls the shots — no matter what.

Can anyone share/confirm what total management headcount are we sitting at after Nov impact and frontier acquisition?

Back to Reality.... Trump economy, War heading to " Over". Gas prices coming down. Stocks back in favor...Vz no execution.... honeymoon over, New External Execs sitting in group therapy saying how are we winning with DEI and no clue how to execute besides layoffs.

stock price dropped from 150 to 130 since Jan 31. Due to espp purchase date shift, we will lose 20 dollars per share if we sell espp right after we get it. Who made this bad decision for purchase shift?

Record high revenue, destroyed budgeted expectations, kicking butt and taking names.

APRIL FOOLS!!!!!

Listening to yesterdays call even if everything goes great over the next year where is the upside? Where's the growth coming from? Best case scenario sounds like incremental growth in na partners but dtc continues to "right size" and bleed out china will continue to take on water emea is lost. And news flash things are not going to go perfectly shipping will only get more complicated. it might take years for tariff relief to actually help the bottom line. our dear leader doesnt seem to think much of sportswear and especially not the swoosh. 20s incoming

Just like Umbro, Cole Haan, and Hurley. Converse will be sold.

Discuss!

People are getting cut this month in a division here, rumor I heard was if 3M keeps it below 50 a month they don't have to announce it publicly or notify the state? I have not heard of anyone in my division getting cut.

The layoff plan was finalised in France and it’s a massacre that targets mostly engineers and surprisingly not too many corporate functions. Even products that are supposedly in priority has not been spared and people with domain knowledge have been impacted. In my 18 years at Ansys, I have never come across such levels of insincerity and misdirection.

with the stock prices hitting rock bottom, is there any way this company can be saved?
will there be any actual comeback or only setbacks?

Just think, it was trading near 170 five years ago. Today it’s trading at 45. Make your own conclusions.

I hesitate to complain about WFH when other offices don’t have it. But when are we “rotating” the WFH days in BH?

Select 30,000 employees with +200k annual salary = $6,000,000,000

"Grow up, get over it, baloney, you'll find another job!" Everyone's circumstances, obligations, etc., are very different. No one can know what someone might be facing in the news of a layoff or rebadge. If you disagree, say so, don't be a je-k about it.

Have the layoffs even been mentioned to those who were not affected ?

Daddy is setting the bar pretty high for junior.

Sounds like years in the making.

What does this mean in terms of greater company structure? Spinoff? Reorg? More jobs offshored?

Anyone have anything new?

Coming to a country near you. Stick that in your RTO pipe and smoke it, stank.

And Mark Barrenechea is back!

Happy April Fools Day!

Buckle up! Now tell us Frontier’s clan didn’t come over for any other reason but to help secure the sale. The writing has been on the wall.

Make sure to check your email. The notifications have already started.

Just wondering if they are finished with the laid offs? I haven’t heard anything in my work area for the last few days. Thanks.
