The subject line says it all. How does MF still have a job? I guess in true Nike fashion, "There is no finish line" for SEC.

How many layoffs have there been in NA so far?
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
Anyone know how to find out what your performance rating is if you leave before CFE discussion?
I've already put in an email to HR but didn't really get a straight answer. I left after the last fiscal day but before CFE discussion where I'd normally receive news of my performance rating. I'm trying to determine if I'm still going to get PSP... — 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?
Sanford Heisler Sharp is investigating labor practices at Nike.
Just saw this ad on facebook: Sanford Heisler Sharp is investigating labor practices at Nike. We want to speak with current and former workers who have been classified as independent contractors, temporary workers, freelancers, employees of outside... — read more
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
Employees are at the end of their ropes with Employee Relations and HR!
There are people on this site that don’t understand the structure of ER vs HR. I do. They are not grouped together. ER reports into employment law (Nike lawyers) and their job is to investigate serious issues and as an impartial third party. I just... — 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
Resuming student loan payments could hurt Nike

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
We don’t need a talking bobble head as our leader
Bring back Parker, Sprunk and Elliot please. Enough with the fake stage presence.
If I was AC, I would expose JD
For his vendor corruption. Same deal just different boats and titles.
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
Friend is being asked to travel to a corporate location and pay for it
I don't work at Nike (well technically they're at Converse) and my friend is remote being asked to travel to their office in Boston but has to pay for it. I've never heard of anyone having to go to an office or other office location and pay for... — 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

Post about Nike store layoffs deleted?
Why was the post about a Nike store being closed and layoffs deleted? Seems fishy
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.
Is it just me or does Nike seem like it's barely staying afloat?
What the heck is happening with this company? Every day, I'm surprised at how disorganized things seem to be. There are always delays, mistakes, and changes happening that leave me feeling like things are falling apart. It's making me anxious and... — read more
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.
First consultants, now employees.
Nike has started layoffs in Digital.
Finance transformation potential layoffs
Has anyone heard of anything regarding to finance transformation and what groups may be impacted by the change
Throwing out VALUES (a metaphor?)
With the elimination of the VALUES band levels and changing titles, will this make it harder or easier to move up the ladder? Will this just be a way to trap people in a band level for longer? Not sure how to think about this change.
