Hello fishes! Can someone help me with the hiring process in Nike Netherlands? I have an interview coming up and I want to know the best way to prepare for it. Apparently there is going to be a case study and some behavioural questions. Anyone can help with me what to expect in the case study and the behavioural questions? Nike Nike, Inc.

That's all too common. There are times when I wished I could have given someone a raise, but the budget was out of my control. Somebody would want a raise, and then I'd have to go see if I could get it for them, and usually it didn't happen. The thing is, that would legitimately happen, but I'm sure a lot of managers just use that excuse to brush people off.
Did you find the people you couldn't get a raise for often left after?
Absolutely. It's very frustrating when I see people working really hard and deserving a living wage but I can't get corporate to approve it for whatever reason. "It's not in the budget" while they give another six-figure bonus to the executives.
Truth.

Yeah, that’s such a tough spot to be in. You want to do right by your team because you know they deserve it, but your hands are tied by decisions above you. It’s frustrating for everyone involved. I’ve seen situations like that where all you can really do is advocate as much as possible and try to support your team in other ways until something changes.
You sound like you're a good manager!
