I just didn't ever expect to see it compete for the first place in the bad treatment of employees and most toxic work environment. I don't know how else to explain what's been going on here for the past several years. Things weren't perfect before... — read more
I have never adapted to this culture
I left a good, solid job because I always wanted to work at Nike. That was my dream job. I thought I was going to learn a lot here. However, from the first day I came here, it was clear to me that I would not easily fit into this machine. Whatever I... — read more
New employees
We can complain all we want, but for as long as there are new people who are willing to join and replace those who are leaving, nothing will change. Right now, most of the people who join are happy and satisfied with their jobs. I meet plenty of... — read more
"Push, push!" & "Jan 10th will be great!" Sigh.
Can't wait to all jam into the office on Jan 10, fight for conference rooms every day, watch people have nervous breakdowns, and listen to my boss cram the BS that "Working from the office is better" down our throats while the boss is trying to... — read more
What is up with everyone calling themselves “servant leaders”?

Years of Experience at Nike
Odds are that you’ve been asked the omnipresent question “how many years have you been at Nike”. It used to be a badge of honor and old timers “knew more” than newer employees (and it might still be a badge of honor in some departments - like retail... — read more
Many people think that this is not an innovative company
I would agree only somewhat. Creativity and people with good ideas used to be much more appreciated here. The energy used to be better. However, even now I wouldn't say that it is not an innovative company. That's why it surprises me when some say... — read more

Nike is now an old guard firm
Nike has reached the point of corporate maturity. It's now an old guard firm. It has sold out to Wall Street which only cares for numbers. It can no longer be truly innovative because the company culture now only supports team players, not creative... — read more
Nikeland
Nike’s marketing keeps evolving and that’s good, Roblox has a lot of potential, but I’m personally skeptical that Nikeland is a brilliant idea and that Gen Z will be thrilled about it. Any thoughts? (I realize it's not about layoffs but perhaps... — read more
Some things never change
A young guy who is relatively new went into a lengthy rant earlier this week about HR and how instead of helping him, it actually puts obstacles between him and relevant training, benefits, or whatever else it is they're supposed to be helping him... — read more
Be sure your boss knows how hard you work
What I have noticed is that many people think that just hard work is enough. No it's not. The boss needs to be aware of how hard you work. I say this from my own experience. While I was just doing the best I could, I was pretty stagnant. Ever since I... — read more
Women’s product??
Why is our Women’s product, particularly apparel, so far behind other brands? It has gotten better - but the fit, style, print - most of it is off the mark while every other brand nails it. Why?
What’s Nike going to do about BS vaccine accommodation requests?
How does nike even prove a “real” religious or medical request? Obviously there are going to be some bs requests from people that put their right to not take the vaccine over our right to have a safe(r) work environment….
Really returning Jan 10th?
Do you think we will really return on Jan 10th? I heard an HR rumor that a hard deadline had to be set in order to weed people out by the Dec 1st vaccine deadline. I also saw other companies like Apple are pushing it back to Feb and March. I’m... — read more

NIKE expects certain teams on campus now
Nike expects Nike HR and certain Tech teams to be on campus, before the RTW on Jan 10. WD&C also expects "all" admins to be onsite. I will be submitting an ER and I hope all admins do the same.
Disappointed.
Needless to say, I was disappointed to come to Nike. Why did I ever think I would find a dynamic, innovative environment here where hard work and engagement is valued? What a mistake!

Nike Layoffs 2022
Have you heard anything about potential Nike layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
Campus food is terrible
If some of the appeal of Nike is the sport facilities and campus the public school cafeteria lunch food certainly detract from that. The food is gross and we have to pay for it. How are we competing with tech talent again?

People are sticking around for severance
I think management has miscalculated their moves. If their goal with constant layoffs was to create an atmosphere of fear that would force people to leave, I'm not sure it worked. In fact, I think it has had the opposite effect. I know many people... — read more

Nike is what happens when you spend 15% of your time working and 85% of your time telling other people that you did something
$800 decks on internal brand promotion - it still baffles me that this company is profitable with all the reckless spending… but how else will leadership know that I (a team of etws) did something?
'Fun place'

Layoffs in November
Somebody mentioned November layoffs earlier, has that been confirmed?
Why is there an APM and a separate PMO-thing in Global Tech???
It's ridiculous. And the APM is a withering, sad organization. Put it out of its misery PLEASE.
