Topics regarding layoffs at Nike Inc.

Hiring without interviews-WTAF?

The Peter Principle is alive and well at Nike. I’ve noticed several positions in my org have been filled without any observable interview process taking place. Colleagues in other divisions have noticed the same. I thought this was illegal or at... — read more 

The Sneaker Bubble Is Bursting Around Nike

Consumers are being more discriminating when it comes to spending, and expensive athletic footwear is pretty low on the list of priorities. Few companies benefited from government largesse during the pandemic era more than Nike Inc. Stuck at home... — read more 

No PSP Talk?

Surprised at the lack of PSP talk, also genuinely surprised that PSP was 119%. Good on the almighty decision makers. Based on rumors I’ve heard and with the higher PSP, I expect raises to be lower than expected this year. Thoughts?

FTW Dev reorg?

Now that BE is out what’s the plan? Plenty of people left already, more to come?

Anyone check industry salaries lately?

While Nike has frozen the budget for 2 years everyone else has been increasing their wages 5-10% every year. Roles looking for half my experience are suddenly paying dozens of thousands more than I make. Time to start applying. I feel d-mb for... — read more 

ETW/Contractor Layoffs

Any idea what’s happening with the mass contractor layoffs at Global? Think it’s tied to the Guardian article about the contractor investigation?

Rat is gone but the droppings….

Why has there been no inquest into all the Kohl’s hires? They were hired lightening fast with some shady interview practices. These bunch have taken Nike culture to the gutters. Financially too, paying Bay Area salaries for some substandard talent. — read more 

Commerical Analytics?

What do they exactly? Someone told me that 40% of their workforce was cut. When did that happen?

Tech reorg?

A lot of shuffles and reorgs happening in different teams. It seems that SEC is the lifeboat, and people are scrambling to be part of that

Nobody on our team talks to each other anymore

Our manager has created such a toxic, adversarial atmosphere that we're now working in a man-eat-man environment. Instead of working together, everybody is looking at how to get one over somebody else. I hate it. I've been trying to get out of this... — read more 

Macys should seek a Retail Therapist

It’s not a matter of IF that little minx of a Goddess will leave you again…it’s WHEN. Macy’s…break the cycle! More validation that the 2020 reorg was a complete bust. The leaders stay and just reinvent old strategies as new, brilliant out of... — read more 

Layoffs this week?

I keep hearing rumors about layoffs this week in Tech. Is this just a rumor, anyone have any details?

This is what too many layoffs lead to

We’ve had a staggering number of re-orgs (layoffs) in the last decade, at least by historic Nike standards. The problem with layoffs is effective employees leave and bad employees float up like a tu-d. It feels like no one knows what’s going on... — read more

Eight Bully Types

This list is more or less a cut and paste off the internet with some editing made. Have you experienced any of these bully types? Is there anymore you want to add? Got any advice for anyone reading this that may be currently experiencing any of... — read more 

Nike gets rare Wall Street “Sell” downgrade

You don’t see this often. Lots of analysts issue buy or hold recommendations but an actual sell recommendation is rare. The downgrade was based on Footlocker’s abysmal results. The issue is that 70% of Footlocker’s inventory comes from Nike. Nike... — read more 

HR Support

A lot of threads on not receiving HR support. I was also bullied with no support from ER. Here is a book a Nike Executive wrote on her experience... — read more 

600 ETWs released end of May!

I came to know that about 600 contractors (maybe some FTEs as well) are being released by end of May. Don't know specifics but many of them work under GSPANN (vendor) and under a VP with Initials S.B. Please comment if you know more.

New Chief Diversity Officer?

Has anyone heard about the new chief diversity officer? I’ve heard he’s terrible. The whole HRLT is just a shitshow at this point with one or two notable exceptions

Nike is soul crushing

How did we end up here? Every biz is in a shake up. What’s up? Just do it. Cut us all. Get it over with.

Adidas is on the attack

I guess they realized this is the best time to take Nike on. Even they can see how bad things are.

Throwing out VALUES (a metaphor?)
