First off, the bad characters that took advantage during the pandemic made us all look bad, and unfortunately caused this corporate decision. Flexibility should be the future. Many daycare facilities closed down and now it’s much more expensive... — read more
December layoffs
Is Nike known for having end-of-the-year layoffs? I started this year so I don't know how it works yet, but my last company always laid off during the second week of December. I hope the same is not true here.
5 day work week.
Can’t say how I know - but a 5 day in person work week will be announced in June. I’ll save my own personal ramblings and just say this - it was nice knowing you, Nike.
Christmas List
Instead of talking about the warn list, let’s talk about our Christmas list. What should be on our list for JD this year?
Warn list
Nike is showing up on the WARN list. It’s showing (1500) with no date? Anyone know anything?
What are you thankful for at Nike
Given it was just thanksgiving Day. IT can't be all bad?
You deserve better
We all deserve better than what Nike's been giving us lately. I'm surprised attrition is not much worse than it is.
The odd thing about the latest backdoor scandal.
https://footwearnews.com/business/legal-news/social-status-owner-james-whitner-money-laundering-1203558250/ For those that know, it's no secret that JW has been VERY protected by people very high up in the org. Some folks even turned a blind eye to... — read more
Several Nike Employees Say They Were Laid Off As the Company Announces Major C-Suite Design and Marketing Shifts
Some Nike employees have taken to LinkedIn to share that they have recently been laid off from the company as the Swoosh unveils major C-suite changes across design and... — read more
We need more transparency
I shouldn't be finding out there were layoffs within the company on an anonymous board. We should be hearing that from our leadership. The secrecy is destroying the little faith we might have left in those on the top. Not to mention, it's affecting... — read more
When will JDs Layoff Happen?
Did JD make the cut or get impacted? I want to know because his $32m salary would probably mean no one, NO ONE WOULD BE IMPACTED EXCEPT FOR HIM. Call me old school, but shouldn’t he be the first one gone? Fk around and not do what you said you were... — read more
Nike PTO Pay Out Policy
Going to look this up later , but does anyone know the pto pay out policy for resignation and or firing. With looming lay offs and everything I don’t wanna leave earned money on the table by not taking the time
Next % vs CDA
Everyone I know is worried about their job right now but no word from E LT on layoffs. Remember the monthly meetings and the commitment to transparency b.s. that dragged on for months with CDA? I hope if cuts come again they just rip the bandaid off... — read more
When will layoffs start?
How long do we have before the inevitable happens?
Anyone successfully commuting?
Has anyone found success with a weekly commute from Bend area? I don’t want to leave but I have loved living in Bend these last few years and am trying to decide if I rent a small apartment back in Portland for the 4/1 and keep my house in Bend... — read more
New Era of Tech ?
Tech leader who knows how to drive sales, products, supply chain efficiencies instead of coming from a washed yp discount retail chain or tech B2B saas background? Lets go I’m excited
Leaving
I am starting to reconsider my desire about staying. The work is drab, the money I get has nowhere to be spent. No nightclubs or bowling alleys, no places of recreation except the trade union dances. I have had enough.
New CTO
What’s y’all’s thoughts? I immediately came here with excitement to read the complaints!
Wtf is going on here
Everyone knows JD is a fill in CEO but previous post calling out VPs is right. What do most of these people do? Want to know the reality of most of these people? They are not even good talent and wouldn’t be VPs at other companies so they stay at... — read more
Our VPs: the real problem
How many VPs do we have that just coast and take the paycheck and act like they’re moving the needle? Probably a lot! Sadly our culture of being pirates has given way to politicians who come in or go up the ranks without any idea of what our... — read more
Don't get pulled into the drama, is my best advice.
Keep your head down and continue your work and be productive. I care about so many of you and I've been through this before. Just don't engage the drama. Stay far away from it. If you're truly a hard worker, likely you'll be safe. If not, well... — read more
I see too many people staying just for severance
Getting severance is not set in stone. It's up to the company whether it wants to offer it to employees it plans to lay off. What some of you are doing is sitting around and waiting for a package that might never come. In the end, you might end up in... — read more
Harassment/ Discrimination
Are there are positive harassment/ discrimination reporting stories where DEI or HR stepped up to resolve issues?
When will we learn?
That consultants aren’t our golden goose? JD & Co, McKinsey, Bain et al, these people are at every company. They are NOT Nike ppl and don’t get what makes this place tick. If we want to be an average company then we should keep them coming. Asking... — read more
Those laid off will be better off
Do you know of one person who still likes their job at Nike? I certainly don't.
Layoff buyout?
I know that Nike has previously offered generous packages for people that volunteered to be laid off. Any chance of that happening this time around?
Another Talent Acquisition Layoff
This is the second large layoff for the talent acquisition team. Surprising? No! Anything Nike does now a days doesn’t surprise me. If you are a Talent Acquisition professional stay way from Nike.
Global Brand Creative Layoffs
Just announced today that Nike will be conducting mass layoffs on the brand creative teams (Insight Global), and likely with Dentsu/Filter too.
Nike & McKinsey
Well done hiring McKinsey and crushing Nike culture. Enjoy ? : https://youtu.be/AiOUojVd6xQ?si=VwohS5FLFCLubg9Q
Hiring Freeze in GT
Rumors of an official hiring freeze announcement might be coming soon. Looking forward to an org restructure with interim management.
Bring back the pirates
So, it’s looking like the slow boil that is the Nike employee dynamic has resulted in a ridiculous toxic stew of ineffectual holdouts and leftovers with a few dedicated, competent folks sprinkled in between -and drowning. Competitors on your tail... — read more
May the odds be ever in your favor…
…People Solutions have started sending out emails confirming whether or not your role is still ‘remote eligible’. If you get one, you’re golden. If you don’t, you’ve got until January to get yourself back to Portland. — read more
So...
...was everyone working from home pre-covid? Seems like I remember the ELT saying Nike was taking cues from national mandates re: covid safety and, since those are all but gone, wouldn't Nike also evolve beyond them? Sincerely not trying to be... — read more
4-1 is a soft layoff. Don't comply.
Make it hurt them more than it hurts you.
Do your job and go the fck home

Nike lost all of its core values
No wonder everybody wants to leave.
HR trying to bully. Hilarious!
MM and her cronies are writing so many manipulative posts on here acting like we slaves have the good life and should appreciate our rations and should just obey as we are d-mb and manipulative sheep! Nike employees: We were founded by ppl who... — read more
You're joking, right?
The privilege on some of these comments is incredible. I was laid off this year after nearly a decade, and you're up in arms because you have to potentially go back to WHQ one more day a week (like most of us did for years and years)? Please leave... — read more
