JDNike has been on a steep decline with him as CEO. The stock is cratering. The product reflects his bland white Silicon Valley soullessness. His robotic speeches where he calls himself a coach are tired, uninspired and everyone sees through them... — read more 

The powers that be have officially voted… they are going to require us to return to and work from the office 4 days a week, if not 5! Hoping that they incentivize somehow, with free lunches or something. How is this going to affect your life? Leave... — read more 

I remember about 5 years ago there was a focus on how we were going to address the retirement cliff of experienced, life timers. Lots of discussion about future leaders from within the organization that needed grooming for executive positions. Then... — read more 

We have too few people in management who are willing to stand up against those at the very top and their stupid ideas. When there's no pushback, you get the situation we're in today.

What is the true consensus? There are a bunch of rumors going around. What do you think is happening or going to happen now that "Transformation" is in place. What is Transformation? Another reorg or layoff? Or something else? Confused by it... — read more 

Watch the JD and PK fireside chat.

For JD to go. Come on BOD you can do good things. It’s not even a hard decision - it is a necessary decision. Please and thank you.

RAT spent more than budgeted. He approved travel, expensive offsites and unofficial contracts. I'm hearing HR is hungry for a layoff to keep their jobs. Nike is so f'd up. Because you f up, we pay the price. When will we layoff the layoff hungry?... — read more 

My manager has basically stopped being any sort of manager. I can comprehend doing this as a contributor but when there’s people depending on you for guidance, it’s pretty offensive. There’s been no communication as far as work priorities, goals or... — read more 

We all saw watched what you did to AC; not that I was a fan. Do you appreciate your team? Do you appreciate employees in general? Historically, it doesn't look good. Are you purposely trying to burn Nike to the ground? It looks that way. Why? ... — read more 

Any truth to another round of Layoffs or the dismantling of the GOLF department? Any chance the Big 5 of BDKGP are gone? Would be a shame if the Big 5 are still there since “ they “ are responsible for destroying NIKE GOLF.

When will the BOD wake up and terminate JD? I am a former employee that left on my own and a shareholder. I have been watching his proven incompetence as CEO. His core job is to provide shareholder value. He was handed the keys and inherited the lead... — read more 

I was searching around the job board last week and saw that there were a few thousand postings now today there are only a few hundred. I was under the impression that going into Q2 we would be seeing more not less, any insight into why this is?

Has anyone been able to successfully request their manager to be changed? If so, how did you do it? I am convinced my mangers goal is to unfairly show me the door because of a personal vendetta.

What happened with it? We had a great corporate culture and excellent work/life balance and now it's all gone. Who is responsible for the change? I know it didn't happen overnight but it had to start somewhere.

Get out while you can.

The economy is in a very tough spot. China is in real trouble, perhaps for the first time. Has Nike got what it takes to stay ahead.

Now that all the shoe dogs are gone we seem to be treating factories like widget makers. Look at the stitching quality of the Dunk these days. VA knows warehouses but nothing about footwear.

The only thing Nike senior management is good at is lying. That's it.

Will there ever be any promotions within the ranks of DSM? It seems that all the leaders in DSM have come from elsewhere, i.e. finance and strategy. There are terrific Directors and Sr. Directors that understand supply chain/planning better than the... — read more 

Nike has shed more than 20% in market capitalization so far in 2023. Worrisome?

How long will the board and shareholders tolerate the stock price meltdown (we are almost back to the price when JD took the helm as CEO), before they are going to show JD and his team the door?

Heard of a few unusual and abrupt terminations this year - got any good ER/H.R. investigation stories? Early this year a colleague got termed for bringing claims against their direct supervisor...it was pretty clear ER/HR didn’t conduct a good... — read more 

Why should I bother and give it my all if I'm getting nothing in return? I'm being treated exactly the same way as people who barely do anything the whole day. Then they wonder why productivity continues to fall. You give me no incentives to work... — read more 

Never trust that you're safe and always keep looking. Think about the long term strategy for yourself and your family. Always "YOU" first, because you are their second choice. You are never safe.

Got a notification from Market Watch this morning that MM sold 40,000 shares worth 4,343,600. Must be nice. Actually money made at the expense of others suffering can't feel that great to the soul. I hope she buys a nice boat and it promptly sinks. — read more

how do we get Nike leaders to watch Barbie?

Perhaps I'm too disappointed in some things and therefore not very objective about the situation here. That's why I'm interested in what the rest of you think about product innovation at Nike nowadays? I feel awful when I recall what product... — read more

JD took over for MP in January 2020. The stock has increased 9% in this time ($101/share to $110/share currently) despite dedicated restructuring and cost efficiency efforts. JD is managing Wall Street or FTEs? Both? At what point does the board of... — read more 

It’s funny how the migration from “VALUES” to “Grade” has resulted in lower bonuses for the people doing the work, and higher bonuses for certain levels of senior leadership. This whale is bleeding hard. Get out while you can.

Think about it. Most of the people who are being laid off are people who have shown the most potential and could be developed into excellent managers/leaders in the future. Instead, they get the boot and the losers who love to kiss a-s are the ones... — read more 

Has anyone asked their rating to be reevaluated by HR? My new, not to ethical and spiteful boss majorly screwed me over.
