Just want to see if we can have a meaningful discussion on this. Is our business changing and how?
Summer Friday + Mental Health Week
With Nike Talent retention at an all time low. Are Summer Fridays / August Mental Health week & 4 month remote work pass enough to keep people from leaving the company? We saw during the reorg many 10 year employees replaced with fresh faces for... — read more
CHAOS ...
Amazing how this leadership team has d-mbed down our Footwear team and ran off anyone that knows anything about it .... For the record, Footwear is the vast majority of the business, has been forever and we cant treat it like a gap t-shirt. Very... — read more
Going to a smaller company
I see a lot of people here writing about going to smaller companies. I honestly don’t know what to think about it... It used to be a dream for me to work at Nike and now it would feel very odd for me to look for a job in a small company, although... — read more
Nike Tech
Anyone else realize that you can't own or execute on a long-term, best-in-class tech vision and strategy if you reorg and change out leadership every few months?
My PMP means nothing here
Because the PMI does not train on political or popularity metrics, and that's how all projects here are run.
Nike employees need a labor union
Given the constant reorgs, role changes, pay issues and general lack of respect given to employees, I'm surprised there are no talks of a labor union. Individual voices get ignored.
On my way out
Another week and I'll be giving my notice. I'm sorry it has come to this, at one point I thought I would retire here, but things change. In the last 15 years, the culture has become toxic, the company has started treating employees as commodities... — read more
Please come back MP, EH, ES
Save us from the complete Atrocity that is our current CEO! For that matter add NA as a comeback kid from the tech org to that list. Not sure how much more we can take. Love, Nike Employees
Nike thinks we get paid enough
A colleague asked the manager for a raise and the response was that he is already paid enough. Of course, after that he went to another company and got a big raise. Those who still can’t get out of here, they just make sure to look busy while... — read more
PSP Bonus & Employment Timing
We all know PSP is paid out first paycheck of August, based on employment through the fiscal year. If employment ends between June 1 and August 11 (Aug 12 is PSP Payday), will you receive your "earned" bonus. Curious if anyone knows the answer to... — read more
"Four week flex" = Chaos & disrespect
The "Four Week Flex" program for those ordered to return to the office is nothing but chaos in the making. So now, we are all going to be WFH random weeks of the year. Coordinating in-person and remote meetings, workshops, etc just got harder. Just... — read more
Why the increased attrition?
Pay. Just because it’s Nike doesn’t mean they can underpay and still retain talent. Lack of career advancement. Too often hard work gets you nothing but more work. If employees don’t have a reasonable chance of being elevated based on merit... — read more
How many years at a band level…
Poll: “Successful” Nike employees up-level into the next band every __ years? And if you haven’t been up-banded in __ years, you should probably look for a job outside of Nike. (Exclude those that are comfortable staying in one band forever) — read more
B I : Leaked audio from nike tech mtng: Struggles to retain talent while moving ahead w ambitious plans
Insider listened to a recording of the meeting and spoke with four Nike insiders for this story. Nike declined to answer questions or make Lavu available for an interview. The audio and reporting make clear that Nike's plans are wide-ranging... — read more
Not everyone is unhappy
I have several friends who are happy to go to back to work on campus. Some people like the separation of work and home and being with other people. I don’t work there anymore, but if I did, my only complaint would be if I couldn’t have my own... — read more
Anyone have an update on PSP?
Thought this was supposed to be announced quarterly…
Great place to work if you have no expertise
Great place to work if you have no expertise. But if you’re really good at making presentations and selling some thing that is nothing you have a lot of growth opportunity ahead of you. You could be a leader in no time. However, you actually are an... — read more
Back to the subject of layoffs
Will there be any any time soon?
Thoughts on Q3 results
https://news.nike.com/news/nike-inc-reports-fiscal-2022-third-quarter-results Any thoughts? The 4% drop in net income is disappointing.
A good up to which team is more useless, Global or MPO?
I’ve worked here for almost 10 years and haven’t seen global or MPO do or provide any value….these upcoming layoffs should clean house in these orgs starting with the top down!
Earnings report
When you Google "Nike earnings report," the first link that pops up is titled "Nike Reports Earnings Monday. Don’t Get Your Hopes Up." So much for hoping that we might beat the estimates (which are already significantly lower than for the same... — read more
I am bored
I know work isn't supposed to be fun but this level of boredom is something else. No challenges, no innovation, no quality-of-life improvements, nothing. I feel stuck. I am paid well and that's the only reason why I'm still here. I'm not sure that'll... — read more
Top Layer Dumping Shares?
MP has been dumping almost 100 m USD shares since Oct 2021 till now. LY the same period he sold less than 60 M USD. Number of shares sold is also lower. What does that mean? knowing that the shares would dive? sell high and buy low, or get out while... — read more
Reality Check
Tech mostly, but this also includes WHQ. Our Nike culture is gone. Those of us that have been around a long while know this, though we want to play denial; it's gone. It's heart breaking, but is the reality (well unless you are a base VP and... — read more
CDM LAYOFFS/REORG
Anyone heard news of full picture of reorg? We were told this shift would not cost jobs, that was a lie. Layoffs and significant changes without any heads-up to leaders responsible for dismantled organizations. Poorly rolled out.
Goldman Sachs’ CEO demanded all employees return full-time to the office. Only half showed up
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/goldman-sachs-ceo-demanded-employees-210608499.html
Nike used to be a solid life force, but not it's a cancer.
When a bloated swollen blob of fat is at the helm, the existing arteries are bound to be constricted and work their black magic down into the extremities. Thus it creates rouge cells to escape and create their own rogue cells to poison the rest. ... — read more
Gas prices and forced return to campus
Sooooo, are those of us who MUST show up on campus going to get reimbursed for gas? And do we get to count our commute time as part of our work day as our "I'm in the remote pilot" co-workers start their work day from home? Yah. That's what I... — read more
Every person I know in the company is trying to find a way out
How the mighty have fallen.
I wonder if this'll affect us
Closing of all the stores in Russia might be temporary but it's still going to hurt us financially. I wonder if we'll end up having to pay the price through more layoffs. I don't expect that any compensation for this virtue signaling will come from... — read more
Nike used to care about employees
I know it's hard for some of the new people to believe this, but Nike really did care. I stay here even now because I keep hoping that things will change for the better once again. It's not impossible. All we need is to get people who care about... — read more
What is Nike so afraid of?
DO THE RIGHT THING AND SAY SOMETHING
Career path
I wonder how much progress in your career have you made while working here? I work in Manufacturing and have been in the same position for a long time.
Yay. Employee survey time.
A time to reflect on how terrible leadership has become across the board. GT, NDP... and more! Yay.
Peace Above All
How you know nike lost its best people : Nike doesn’t have anything to say but moncler knew exactly what to say.
COVID-19 Layoffs due to not being vaccinated
Does anybody have any idea how many people were laid off due to not being vaccinated?
Global Sports Apparel
What is going on in Global Sports Apparel? Just the worst leaders. Out of their depth in every way. It's embarrassing. The Product leader is like a deer in headlights. And the design leader is just straight up incompetent. True white male privilege... — read more
Layoffs due to not being Covid-19 Vaccinated
Curious what impacts we think this had to swoosh, %’s etc? Any thoughts?
