1. A leaked survey shows widespread dissatisfaction among Nike's tech workers. Employees who responded to the annual survey sounded the alarm on burnout, "inept" leadership, and a "never-ending reorg" — conditions some say are contributing to attrition at the company.

  • The results come as Nike works to establish itself as a tech leader, with ambitious plans for everything from direct-to-consumer sales to the metaverse, and as it tries to hire and retain tech talent. 
  • In 48 of 51 categories surveyed, tech workers rated their job satisfaction below employees in other parts of the company. 
  • Employees wrote that leadership "does not inspire confidence" and that leaders are "burning out their best resources." One worker said if Nike fails to listen to what tech workers want, "this whole company is going to fail."

Here's everything else we learned from the survey.

6. Elon Musk tells executive Tesla staff to return to the office or find a new job. As per Bloomberg, Musk sent an email to workers saying they must be in the office for a "minimum (and I mean *minimum*) of 40 hours per week or depart Tesla." Although Musk did not confirm the email's authenticity, he made his thoughts clear in a blunt Twitter post. 

7. Employees share how to land a job at YouTube. Getting hired at the video giant is no easy feat, with employees expected to be creative, while also having technical skills. Current and former employees, as well as its VP of people operations, gave us insight on how to stand out as an applicant.
