Should I be worried about layoffs?
We got a new ceo from Intuit and everyone is talking about layoffs coming soon. Is it normal for a ceo to come in and downsize a company shortly after joining? Also, does anyone know anything about this guy Brad Smith? Why would he leave Intuit to join a dying company? It doesn’t make sense. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/nordstrom-inc-announces-brad-smith-as-chairman-of-board-of-directors-300704254.html

Join us. We got a new CEO an year back and lost 400 people in reorg. Don't see any more layoffs in the near future. It happens a lot by the way.
That happened for F5? I’m unfamiliar with your company
What do they usually cut first?
Have fun with this guy lol
What are you hiding from us? Spill it
I don't know what zaEh68 is talking about, but I do know Brad Smith is super annoying and always talks about stupid karate. I guess it could be worse.
An accounting guy is now taking over an antiquated retail behemoth and you're asking if you should be worried about layoffs? Is water wet?
+1 start looking for your next gig
Want a referral to Intuit? Must be at least a yellow belt to apply.
Predicting your stability there is entirely dependent on knowing the logic behind company direction. Your gut feeling is probably right
Starting to hear chatters from within... sigh
That sucks. Makes ppl unproductive
Brad needs to reveal his TC. He must be getting a lot of $
GTFO
I challenge Brad Smith the karate master to a karate contest.
Karate match or GTFO
Blackbelt or GTFO
As someone who works for a company which has had big layoffs recently, I feel for you. Working at a retail company in 2018 though, you have to expect many more layoffs given the buying trends. Most of brick and mortar companies were just 15 years too slow to adjust.
What's your role? DM me if you're interested working with us
Gotta be honest Nike, the word on the environment at Nike is not so great.
You sound like an asshole.
^Brad Smith
Brad / Tulane seems to be making friends at Nordstrom already lol.
