Retail Employees
We don’t hear much from you on this site. I would genuinely like to hear what it’s been like for you working during the pandemic and if the pay/career growth/leadership complaints of corporate employees resonates with you
Why do ETW’s continue to be ETW’s?
I have a question for ETW’s and it’s a sincere one. I’m not trying to be smarmy in asking this question. I see many of you complain about the fact that you’re ETW’s and that you can’t find a FTE job at Nike. I can understand how that would be... — read more
Strategic resilience during the pandemic
I’ve been thinking a lot about it, but I don’t know if Nike could have had a better strategy during the pandemic. I'd love to hear what you think about it.
Nike home affordability? How do you do it.
As an ETW in technology ( long term) how do you guys/gals afford a house in the " silicone forest". I make under 70k a year ( planning on leaving Nike due this reason) and even with 20% down. Nike's wages leave me on a fixed income with a house of... — read more
Do you know about the NDA's (Non disclosure agreement)? For women?
You probably don't. Silence.
All of us, we need to tell the truth
As much as we are scared, we need to tell the truth. It's time. Even if it's just here. Do it. I'm tired of being afraid of being fired or made an out cast. Most assume I'm a sl-t and I'm not. You assume it's consensual, but it's not. It's not... — read more
Fiefdom (look it up)
An area over which someone exercises control as or in the manner of a feudal lord
More Covid time?
Should we get more? A lot of families are getting it a second time and/or their child care is closed once again. Anyone have pull to make this happen?
When did we last have layoffs?
Aren't we due some, and soon?
I was just diagnossed with a deadly cancer today and it's only a matter of time (months).
The first thing I thought about was bi-----g about JD, AC, HO and MM on this site. How sad is that? Work should never trump family, but it also illustrates the low morale, unhappiness and true distrust of our leadership. It also shows our... — read more
Nike is still among the best
Either we all are having an opposite experience to the majority of employees or HR has been working really hard to push up those numbers, but Nike is once again among the top 50 best places to work for on Glassdoor. How it still ranks that high is... — read more
The management destroyed this once great company!
And they will continue to do it until there's nothing left.
What will 2022 be like?
I'm curious, is there anybody who thinks we'll see some improvements next year?
Company for pretenders
The more you pretend and the more confidence you have, the better. If you plan to achieve something only with your work, you will hardly make it. Sometimes I get tired of pretenders and their overly confident appearance until their results speak... — read more
Benefits could be better
Agree? Don't we deserve better benefits? I’m not saying I’m dissatisfied, but some competitors offer better benefits.
NA Lack of Experience and Leadership
Will we ever get leaders with the right experience and strong leaders? MW leaning in for a first mile capability leader is frustrating. She’s disorganized and has zero idea of what she’s doing. What happened to trade and transportation in NA? GT is... — read more
My New Year's resolution is to start job hunting
Only, I'm not going to wait for the New Year to get on with it. I've already updated my resume and LinkedIn and I've sent out a bunch of applications. I'm hoping to be out of Nike before summer. Even if I don't find a new job, I've tightened my... — read more
Is it easier now than ever to get a job here?
Basically, it’s none of my business, it doesn’t affect me much and it makes me happy when someone gets a job. However, I can’t help but notice that the quality of the new hires, my new colleagues, is far below what it used to be. I would swear that... — read more
Busy work
I used to love my job and I knew what I did was important. Call me crazy, but I enjoyed knowing that what I did made a difference. Now, most of what I'm doing each day is busy work. Each new round of layoffs I expect to be affected - and I hope I... — read more
Nike Ranked #20 company in the world by the Drucker Institute
https://www.drucker.institute/2021-drucker-institute-company-ranking/
How long did it take for the enthusiasm to go away?
I would be lying if I said that I was not thrilled to get a job at Nike. I celebrated when I got the offer. That was supposed to be my dream job. I thought I would want to work here for a long, long time... However, the enthusiasm disappeared in... — read more
Leaked email shows back to work opposition.
Alright.... Which one of you was it? https://www.businessinsider.com/nike-back-to-work-plan-email-shows-heavy-opposition-2021-12
Q2 results?
What do you think? Does anyone have any predictions?
THANK YOU NIKE
They made the right decision in delaying the return to work. Overall I’m happy here but have been critical lately of this policy, plus remote work. It could have happened sooner, but glad leadership realized this was the safest option.
Even the Apple CEO gets it! allows remote work during Omicron
They had a scheduled return date of February. Now its TBD. Wonder if Nike will do the same with cases on the rise on the Oregon area. I bet Nike doesn't... No fu--s given by JD.. Apple, which had already delayed its employees’ return to physical... — read more
Nike employing same tactics as Microsoft.
Found this gem on Youtube. Microsoft hired temporary workers known as " Permatemps" from the early 90s to mid-90s. A group of contractors sued Microsoft and won successfully in court. The court (9th circuit) held that Microsoft was treating... — read more
Opinion-based decision making
There is no logic to the way things are done anymore. Instead of making decisions based on market research and in-depth analysis, everything we do is based on the opinion of whoever is the most important senior person in the room when decisions are... — read more
How did we come to this?
that many here think that more than half of the employees have no idea what their roles are?
Why do a survey if they are going to say, "Too bad!" no matter what???
Rhe survey about return to office was an insult. Most of us don't want to return and the email that cane out today basically says, "Too bad. We're better together. So tough." ... Not listening... AGAIN.
Top Functions vs Toxic functions?
I’ve been told there are functions at Nike that are toxic and others are really great to work in. Does this group have input on MS (President Product. Design etc)) and the functions he oversees? Looking at a role that cuts across. Any watch outs... — read more
If you're new at Nike
Best advice I have for anyone new here, use it as experience and bail! Not many jobs here will translate to the real world, after you’ve fallen into the cycle of learning the matrix all over again after each reorg. It’s honestly drained my soul over... — read more
How much more do you work from home?
Contrary to what some claim, it is absolutely not true that employees are reluctant to return to the office because at home they worked a lot less. Nonsense! I have no reason to lie on an anonymous forum, but I will say that the only reason I... — read more

Don’t miss Nike, lol I miss the discount
Most people are just using Nike for a resume boost. I’m glad it works. After being laid off recently, (barely worked at Nike for 2 years) and a few weeks later I interview with some big tech companies, and landed a role paying way more than my Nike... — read more
"religious" accommodation
Turns out, Nike employees can receive a "religious accommodation" as a workaround to the vaccine mandate. No questions asked and you get to work from home until April.
Time to Take a Virtual Knee on these Mandates!
Just because the majority of people are afraid and want something it does not make it OK to force the minority to do something that they don't want to do! Where is the respect? What makes me think that I know what is best for everyone? Where does... — read more
