I’ve been with Nike for less than a year. What is the best advice anyone can give for someone who is fairly new and unsure if he wants a career here? Is a career here even possible? I’m just uncertain if I should take whatever skills I eventually... — read more 

I work at a store and the one thing I learned in my four years here is that nobody has your back. Everybody is ready to throw you under the buss if they believe it'll help them in any way - even (or especially) in front of customers. To say it's a... — read more 

Some of us know and majority don't know. The guilt, the burden and the shame... For over a year now. The threatening language to not talk to anyone to include our peers. Or..."you will be fired". But, they don't tell us anything. I can't take... — read more 

That's a good description - a bureaucratic nightmare. There have been situations where I’ve become convinced that Nike is just that, and I haven’t been in this company for long. I worked for a competitor and several other companies where this was... — read more 

Sometimes I feel sorry for the new people who just came to Nike and who weren’t here and don’t know what it all looked like when this company was a great place to work. On the other hand, I would sometimes prefer that I had just come here, so that... — read more 

Has the word been given yet on Valiant going to the scrap yard.

OK, this may have nothing to do with cuts, but I'm still interested in your opinion. Someone mentioned that one of the priorities of this company is to maintain its cool image. I think that image has been shaken considerably, especially lately. Your... — read more 

I find it strange how quickly changes happen here. Unfortunately, changes for the worse. I didn’t come to this company long ago, and some things got drastically worse in a very short time. I though that such a large company could go downhill, but... — read more 

I hated the CFE process at Nike. Wasting time filling out a bunch of stupid forms which no one ever looked at, then getting your review rescheduled about six times, only to get a satisfactory rating and a very small raise, no matter how hard you... — read more 

Every true leader knows how important it is to listen to their employees, to make decisions using employee inputs, to know what employees expect from them, and so on. Still, it seems to me that Nike has decided not to listen to its employees, so... — read more 

I basically don’t care, I work hard both from home and the office, but I find it interesting that they want us back to the office since I think it’s cheaper for them when we work from home. Are we more productive in the office or is it just that they... — read more 

Found this article to be interesting... Apparently Microsoft was sued in a class action lawsuit(early 2000's)for using " permtemps". Sound familiar? I wonder if Nike follow a similar fate? "Permatemps are long-term temporary employees who may... — read more 

To absolutely no surprise, HR has “rules for thee and not for me”. Multiple job postings right now in HR that expressly say remote work allowed (unless you live in Colorado)

I thought others would be celebrating getting to do a 3 day in the office schedule. Personally I am stoked to get to go back to WHQ and also stoked to not have to do it 5 days a week haha. It was always clear that Nike was not going to switch to... — read more 

with regards to who decides which projects deserve attention and which don’t. I would not like anyone here to name a person because of whom a project that had a lot of potential was not realized, but the point is that employees and the company... — read more 

I wonder how many people will leave just because they will not agree to the latest remote policy, which means a partial return to the offices? I have had to change my location in the meantime and it will be a real challenge to return to the office... — read more 

Do you agree? When I came to Nike I was much younger, ambitious, eager for new knowledge and advancement. But back then, Nike was a completely different company. I would never have come to Nike as it is today if I were a young person with great... — read more 

As a ETW working in technology, I'm coming up at the end of my " contract". My boss has indicated there aren't any future plans to " extend" my contract. I got a interview for a full time position with a bank, I asked for a 25k pay increase. I love... — read more 

It sounds like a number of you are preparing to leave. I did so 5 years ago after 10 years. A few thoughts. 1 - it won’t always be sunshine and roses on other side. I worked for 3 sh---y companies before I found a good one 2 - pay and... — read more 

Those who have been with Nike long enough to remember a company where PHK culture was strong and we walked the talk (mostly) are dismayed by the state of the company today -- we have brought in so many senior leaders from other companies, who have... — read more 

We all know what's Nike's biggest issue. Tell me one good decision this leadership made in the last five years? There are none. It is clear that until the entire upper management along with executives is removed from Nike we will continue to have... — read more 

You got 14 months of WFH and probably didn't do an ounce more of overall completed work. That’s why you’re getting dragged back into the jungle. Play-time is over. Back to the big boys and girls. Escape is possible, but don’t kid yourself as... — read more

No matter what Nike does I’m sticking to the plan I have and they will have to RIF me before I’m ready to leave. It’s not about waiting for severance - it’s about finding something comparable in pay and benefits for me especially with being the sole... — read more 

Who thinks the latest remote work policy which is 3 days mandatory in the office and 2 days remote is just another way to get people to quit? Layoffs but without the layoffs?

PHK once wanted to buy the Clippers, not sure Paul Allen's sister needs to sell the Blazers, so the A's, there used to be a Triple AAA team called the Portland A's, the A's could be a chance for a National Championship. PHK could build a stadium... — read more

Between layoffs, firings, and attrition that's not being backfilled I'm starting to wonder who do they expect to do all the work around here. How many of us are doing multiple jobs as it is? How many are forced to pick up even more work on weekly... — read more

I think Nike is considering a hybrid work model where you work some days remote and some in the office. But I wonder if Nike understands that for many of us a hybrid work model is more of a pain in the rear than working 100% on-site or 100% remote. I... — read more 

It’s CFE season, I’m always curious if CFE is being followed through properly for others or is my manager just complete cr-p. I’ll start, there’s never any target setting done. Special circumstance this year due to CDA, but previous YEARS are the... — read more

My opinion is that there is absolutely no need for me to go back to the office. I don’t even have to mention the benefits of WFH, I think many have become aware of them. If I get strong enough and reasonable arguments as to why I should go back to... — read more 

Are they hoping we forgot about it?

It didn’t just happen to me once that I disagreed with my superior, it happened to me multiple times but I decided to keep quiet. The reason is that I think that even with a respectful, thoughtful approach this disagreement can risk losing your... — read more 

Does Nike encourage employee engagement anymore? It seems to me that this is becoming a company that is less and less successful in influencing the willingness of employees to stay engaged and contributing. I used to be very engaged in my work, but... — read more
