Nike has become such a weird company when it comes to talent
Management talks about wanting talent, but people who stand out often end up managed like they are a threat. Add misleading job descriptions into the mix and it is no surprise people leave frustrated.
Severance agreement
Is there any one who hasn't received the severance agreement yet? I ask bcos a number of people have received it.
Next Round?
Any idea when the next round is? This is a layoff blog,
Nike will move out of Oregon within 5 years
When PK passes, this business will move out of Oregon, every single study has shown so. Keep their "AWESOME" campus for necessary departments that need high visibility to stay cool. Ditch all the WA County Warehouses they branded, relocate options... — read more
Why doesn’t Nike fire under performers?
Nike only lays people off when changing the organization structure, not when someone is doing a really cr-p job or royally sc--ws up a business. Why doesn’t Nike fire people more often for poor performance?
Any idea if we are getting PSP or not?
Any idea if we are getting PSP or not?
my take is that Nike is too big!!!
Nike just kept moving forward for last 40 years at 90 MPH. the issue with Nike is that they are too big. They are in every aspect of sports business. Akin to adidas in 70s, Nike is too many things!! License product, performance product, non... — read more
NIKE'S NEAR TERM FUTURE WILL BE DETERMINED WITHIN 3 TO 9 MONTHS
if we are in same circle going on and on with demoralizing layoffs, same stupid upper managements who has no clue or leadership quality, no new design of revolutionary shoes and direction then Nike's clock is ticking as we speak. EH and new admin... — read more
Want the leaders to understand?
It's abundantly clear that the executive leadership does not care to listen to anyone of importance to the company. Don't plan on attending anything of meaning to them. Boycott the PHK naming ceramony and JDI day. Employee engagement surveys are... — read more
Wait, Nike used to be a great place to work?
I'm starting to think that's just a myth the old-timers keep repeating. You couldn't convince me people ever enjoyed working here.
Self inflation on LinkedIn
I keep seeing some certain white dudes who never rose above Sr. Director at Nike (or anywhere!) promote themselves on LinkedIn as having been a Vice-President. Nothing says executive presence like a title from the imagination department. Anyone else... — read more
How did we become so soft?
We’re failing because there isn’t a single leader including our crybaby CEO who is willing to cut through the bureaucracy, say what’s actually happening, and get sh-t done. Instead we get endless semi-emotional town halls. This is a job and not a... — read more
Is the hiring frozen?
I'm seeing new jobs being posted in the design departments but I was told that hiring was on freeze or just being prioritized. The new roles I'm seeing are similar to ones that have been frozen and still posted.
Honest Question
Nike increased women in VP+ roles from 39% to 45% and minorities at Director+ level from 26% to 36% between 2021 and 2025. Considering how few senior leader roles open up each year, that’s a big change in a short time. Has the company become stronger... — read more
One of the worse collabs
I've seen post on here dissecting and criticizing some of the collabs Nike has at the moment. Some of which has been relatively successful, like the Travis Scott collab. I haven't seen anyone pick apart the Drake line tho. That may have been one of... — read more
Employee Brand Deterioration
For those of you who are actively interviewing (laid off/still here) are you finding the sentiment towards Nike talent (you) shifting? Do you feel as if potential employers aren’t seeing Nike talent the same and has degraded from years past? I’m... — read more
First job nightmare
I just started my career at Nike and I think I made a huge mistake joining. My manager is impossible. Every week he either ki-ls our ideas, adds random nonsense to our projects, or just criticizes for no reason depending on his mood. He doesn't... — read more
KKR might buy UA. It is not substantiated but heard through my industry grapevine
That might complicate business for Nike since biggest team dealer for Nike is BSN (overwhelmingly) and they are already part of KKR. So KKR will own UA and do business with NIKE. Will they be fair with Nike or use Nike while they support their own... — read more
May be EH is the problem
It’s the next level leadership . What have they ever accomplished? All they have learnt is you are rewarded if you keep cutting cost.
Facilities usage for employees of 8+ years?
Unfortunately I got laid off, but I was wondering if we could still use the facilities? I know we get lifetime discount, but for some reason I heard if you worked here for 5+ years you can still use the facilities like Bo Jackson / NSC Is that...
EH bringing back disgraced executive
EH is trying to bring back someone that was fired for bad conduct but because of the lawsuit, they cant bring them back as a FTE but on contract. Does anyone know who that is?
remember strategic 40 accounts?
That was about 8 or 9 years ago. I wonder if ROSS, MARSHALLS AND TJ MAXX has been added to strategic 40 accounts. I know Nike is desperate but I wonder if Nike people count above as important accounts. That is curious As for the little account... — read more
China’s ‘Two Billion Feet’ Are Suddenly Running From Nike
Article came out today. We spent a lot of money setting up in China. What does this mean?
Is Adidas hiring?
Did you see some of their World Cup kits? We could learn a thing or two from them at this point. At least somebody still seems capable of putting out work people get excited about.
Don’t worry everyday about stock price
Let’s be positive about Nike trajectory and show up everyday with the strength to break through this together, we have so much leverage as a company (if we are able to come together as a cross functional team). It starts with US, YOU, and ME! And no... — read more

FIRE EH!!! I have a perfect candidate!!!
Someone that is in the board. Tim Cook!!! He knows Nike well, recently step down as CEO of Nike. He will bring stability that he gave in apple. Bring same old more boring stuff quarter after quarter!!! LOL
Nike is in a death spiral
I can feel it. We need a miracle to right this ship. I can't believe what happened to such an iconic company.
170 to 42 and below????
Given the times what happening around the world, internal struggling, competitors with strong growth day by day, no wonder stock going down.
Productivity growth
Hi haters - this fiscal Nike has reduced the work force by roughly 4% while revenues have been flat vs last year. Conclusion; productivity per employee has gone up; these lay offs do make sense. A continuation of stream lining the org and setting... — read more
Show Our New Product?!
Bruh, if you get the chance to have a segment done on national TV at least show some of the upcoming product/newness we have coming out? We have that right? Right? For the past 18 months all we have been hearing about is all the newness coming down... — read more

Shaking head
Why would we go on a news show and cry vs showing some new hot product that will revolutionize the market? Oh crud, that right, we don’t have hot new product or commercials. Thanks product and marketing….
EH no CEO
He’s completely in over his head and not CEO material. Zero vision, authority or leadership for this moment. The Today Show interview this week was a disgrace to this company. Lacked anything meaningful. The tears are old. “Return to sport” and... — read more
How much time left?
How much time does EH have left until he himself is laid off for underperformance? Who would the next CEO even be? Internal or external?
