Required to be on campus but can't have a home base desk? Hate it. Why jam this 2018 plan down our throats when the world seriously changed since then? Some peeps are 100% remote still. So those who have to come in should be able to have a home base... — read more
HR is a joke
I just recently went to my HR partner to discuss unethical behavior, potential gender discrimination, bullying and retaliation... and do you know what they told me? "This is between me and my [insert the name of the bully here]" I took my stack of... — read more
Change is the only constant at Nike
It’s both a blessing and curse. It’s a blessing because Nike is more agile than most large companies. It’s a huge reason for Nike’s success. It’s a curse because nothing is ever the same for very long. Just when you figure something out, bo-m... — read more
Where are the rumors on the new pay levels?
I heard of talk about the removal of VALUES and they are replacing it with levels like 80,81,82,83, etc. Much like a place I worked at before. It allows them to have more specific ranges & benefits since the levels are super small compared to say... — read more
What kind of people get hired at Nike?
Okay so it’s always been my dream to work there (not gonna lie lol). After reading these posts, I def feel like the allure is gone a bit which is probably for the best, lol. But I am curious—how do people get hired at such a behemoth of a company? I... — read more
Anyone else?
Just come here and read the complaints? I do it on weekly basis, it’s like esquire magazine!
Valiant Labs
What ever happened to Valiant Labs, they seem even harder to trace than the normal Nike Inno.
What is going on here?
Given the most recent events I am sick to my stomach after seeing the latest communication that was sent out today. It just feels like it is supporting the school shooting and it was “justified”. School shootings are not ok! It doesn’t matter who the... — read more
Going to see Air
For a wistful and nostalgic reminder of when it was actually cool and fun to be here.
Nike has changed a lot
I'd be lying if I said I didn't really like my job here until a few years ago. Nowadays, however, I feel like I'm working in a completely different company because Nike has changed a lot. It's this change that I'm having a hard time coming to... — read more
It would be nice if you could volunteer to be laid off
The fact that in this very moment many people would gladly volunteer to be laid off says a lot about the company. Am I right?
What about the rest of the GT cancer?
Well, will there be a clean-up of the rest of the toxic "leadership" left in GT after the RAT departed?? The sh**storm has carried on through the minion ratlettes. It's not enough to chop off the head of the monster. Fear-based leadership rules... — read more

NIKEMAGEDDON IS COMING
Are you kidding me? This is exactly what they want you to believe - that everything is fine. The layoffs, the rumors, the chaos - it's all apart of you-know-whos plan to control and manipulate us. Now they'll take back WFH! WTF! I've been connecting... — read more
Constant reorgs are tiring
Before, I used to feel a sense of accomplishment in my work. I was confident in my abilities and consistently performed at a high level. But due to the many, many reorganizations over the years, my job responsibilities have changed so much to the... — read more
How has it come to this
GT is Lord of the Flies. A siloed org rto where collaboration now means emerging once a quarter to throw spears at each other. Tech has actually regressed since MP and ES left, say what you want about them but we were far better off IMO
Radio Silence
Been 2 weeks since AC's email. No mention of it at the all hands. What's up?
Nike showing true colors with Ja M statement
I think the statement put out by Nike today perfectly reflects the company. They have no “true” morals but just go whichever direction will makes them the most money and a different set of standards applies to everyone. I’m disappointed with how... — read more
Consumer Direct Marketing

Nike recruiting team laid off
A bunch of recruiting leaders, recruiters, and admin staff got laid off today. It’s not part of the modernization work. It was a business decision based on volume of work and $$$.
When do BPIs occur?
Im pretty new but when do you get a BPI? Just curious...thanks
Accountability?
At what point does the head of HR or oversaw SJ and the DE&I debacle, and then oversaw and cleaned up for the RAT get held accountable. MM - show yourself the door please…
Terminated due to policy violation
I was terminated from Nike due to a policy violation around Nike Giving. I donated to an org around 2017 and that org asked few Nike employees to pool money and donate. Some got kickbacks. I did not know it’s illegal to pool money and donate. The... — read more
Bye to WFH?
I’m hearing rumors that Nike will go back to a 5-day in person work week. Among the reasons is that it would nudge people to leave Nike though natural attrition so as to avoid a layoff. Another is that innovation is best in person. I’ll be... — read more
Grounds for filing harassment complaint?
Advice needed: Long before the RAT this group I’m in has been operating under command and control mode. It’s been a year and the leadership of the dotted matrix team I was put into due to recent reorg is passive aggressively sabotaging me and my... — read more
Layoffs in HR?
Someone in North America HR was laid off yesterday and S band conversations are happening - is this the start of the rest to come?
I'm sick to my stomach
How many times or players? Why is ethics still an issue? How many times do we have to go through this? I say fire the recruitment team; they can't do "due diligence". How many times can we go through this? Another reorg as usual? Lord help us... — read more
It's not just us
I just read that one of our suppliers in Vietnam is getting rid of more than 6k jobs. Layoffs are not just happening in astonishing numbers in the U.S. but also around the world. It's only a matter of time before we're hit once again. I'm worried... — read more
Whispers of Reorg
We're coming up to the 3 year mark from the last reorg and there are whispers. Anyone has heard anything?
I don't know why "everyone"' here complains and doesn't report it.
Individually? I understand, but as a collective, you would have an impact. Ironically, Just Do It!".
Layoffs last week
Last week there were layoffs in Brand Creative. Is this true? Was this an isolated incident or were there more groups that were hit? I find it strange that layoffs happened and we haven't heard a peep about it. Not that I expect the leadership to... — read more
They are two types of employees
They are two types of employees, There is the type that wants to do something meaningful and there is the type who are out to benefit their own career. Usually company start with the former and become incredibly profitable, attracting attention from... — read more
So many changes happening
Hold on. Please don’t be silent. Everyone’s voice is essential. Speak up if even on this site. Tell everyone. Sh-t is about to go down.
If someone started first of this year, do they get bonus?
Or would they not be eligible until 2024?
I am the "I hate Nike" person
After long sessions with my therapist, I need to apologize to everyone for my outbursts. She suggested that I reach out and encourage anyone going through similar pain, to report it regardless, if you are he, she, they or whatever... if you feel... — read more
