Vaccine exemption
Somebody asked this already, but it was removed (I'm guessing the insults didn't help). Do you know of anybody who got approved for an exemption and if you do, how did they do it? Was it a complicated process? Any info would be helpful at this... — read more
What happened to "See something/say something"?
The new female Tech leaders are not reflecting Nike Values and are being extreme bullies and getting away with it. Why hasn't anyone reported it? It's not just (EW/HJ), there's more examples during this restructure to include se-ual harassment... — read more
How much PTO can you cash out when leaving?
I am one of those people with a lot of PTO because I worked so much and rarely took time off. The reorg screwed me over and I’m planing my exit. How much of my PTO can I encash when leaving? Are there limits? I could always ask HR but I’ll... — read more
Time to strike again mandates

The real reason Nike won't do remote
Found this out through a coworker who talked to HR. Reason Nike won't do remote? They've promised the State of Oregon a set number of taxpayers in order to get their corporate tax breaks. Don't hold your breath thinking Nike is going to follow... — read more

I've been seeing articles online about anonymous salary google sheets being kept in various industries/companies. Does anyone know if someone runs one of those for Nike? It would be interesting to see where I stand compared to others here.
Support groups for Nike spouses?
Working at the swoosh isn’t a a victimless crime… Unfortunately the ego, facades, and lies aren’t left behind the berm… they’re taken home by the egomaniacs And Nike spouses and families end up paying the price
BIOMF
Might have been the BEST part of the GOT call today from PK. JD needs to take serious notes from AC on running a great all hands meeting.
They say work to live...not live to work
Not true for a lot of us financially. Nike only makes sneakers and t-shirts so no one will die. Are you sure about that? It seems to me that Nike is run by HR from the top (MO). You can't report HR to Employee Relations (ER) as they now own it... — read more
Young people shouldn't be staying here for more than a few years

Asking for a friend
Are some of you folks serious?
People here need to build thicker skin. Is Nike your first job? If this is your introduction to corporate America I could excuse some of the comments. But I doubt most of you are new, so you should know better by now. Do your job for the pay you are... — read more
NA ELT
What do you all think of the NA leadership team. I thought things were better after CDA, but now not so sure…
If you're of a certain age, you might as well leave on your own
They don't see a need for you anymore regardless of how much you've done for Nike in your many years here. Your work boils down to waiting to see if you're going to be laid off or if they'll manage to find a way to fire you. The only other option is... — read more

Those who followed the IE gaslighter let go last month
To those who followed the IE gaslighter that was let go last month: Hope you are shaking in your boots. Your allegiance was misplaced, you were played, and all has come to light.
Any GT CDA Activation Updates?
I know that there’s been a lid put on any comms around the Global Tech CDA activation with NDAs but does anyone have any updates?
Sign of the Times
On my drive home, saw a sign on Canyon that reads, "Dear NIKE, SHOE CITY needs you! We are a minority-owned family business. Please do it." Can anyone explain what this means?! Collateral fall out of CDA strategy? Seems like a sad message/statement. — read more
I miss the “good guys”….
I really and truly wish we could have a do-over when pondering hiring JD as the CEO. I was hopeful for maybe 15 minutes - ok maybe 30 minutes - but we need to bring back the A team - ). EH, ES, TP those were THE great guys. Thinking back - those... — read more

Who’s with me?
E-band here, Nike vet, in good standing. For so many of the reasons touched on in this forum I will be resigning later this month. I could not be more excited to move-on. Anyone in a similar situation?
Is one person writing a bunch of the posts here?
I’ve noticed something. A bunch of the posts here all have uncannily similar patterns. As if a single person is writing many of them. Their post titles are often framed as a question rather than a statement. Look at several of the most recent... — read more
Younger employees getting better assignments
