Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

@v9, you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about, but I admire the confidence it takes to advertise that so publicly. “Innovation” has become a bloated corporate bureaucracy with more directors directing other directors than people capable of doing the actual work.

The LeBron James Innovation Center doesn’t need another strategy deck, leadership summit, or ceremonial reorganization, it needs to be gutted and rebuilt from scratch. At this point, it represents less of an innovation engine and more of an extraordinarily expensive monument to corporate vanity.

Do you have any idea what it costs simply to keep that architectural ego trip operating? The building burns through money while producing meetings, titles, self-congratulation, and PowerPoints explaining why genuine innovation remains perpetually “in progress.” It’s not an innovation center; it’s a taxpayer-free corporate welfare program for overpaid professional spectators. The only thing that place has successfully disrupted is Nike’s operating budget.

Something makes it from innovation, inline takes all the credit. Something fails from innovation, blame innovation. Rinse repeat.

Innovation at Nike is a bloated, decomposing corporate carcass being dragged through meetings by people too spineless to admit it’s already fu--ing buried. Burn the corpse and stop calling the smoke “strategy.” Time to start over folks.

Nike Mind is selling out, we just can make enough fast enough
