Either we all are having an opposite experience to the majority of employees or HR has been working really hard to push up those numbers, but Nike is once again among the top 50 best places to work for on Glassdoor. How it still ranks that high is... — read more
The management destroyed this once great company!
And they will continue to do it until there's nothing left.
What will 2022 be like?
I'm curious, is there anybody who thinks we'll see some improvements next year?
Company for pretenders
The more you pretend and the more confidence you have, the better. If you plan to achieve something only with your work, you will hardly make it. Sometimes I get tired of pretenders and their overly confident appearance until their results speak... — read more
Benefits could be better
Agree? Don't we deserve better benefits? I’m not saying I’m dissatisfied, but some competitors offer better benefits.
NA Lack of Experience and Leadership
Will we ever get leaders with the right experience and strong leaders? MW leaning in for a first mile capability leader is frustrating. She’s disorganized and has zero idea of what she’s doing. What happened to trade and transportation in NA? GT is... — read more
My New Year's resolution is to start job hunting
Only, I'm not going to wait for the New Year to get on with it. I've already updated my resume and LinkedIn and I've sent out a bunch of applications. I'm hoping to be out of Nike before summer. Even if I don't find a new job, I've tightened my... — read more
Is it easier now than ever to get a job here?
Basically, it’s none of my business, it doesn’t affect me much and it makes me happy when someone gets a job. However, I can’t help but notice that the quality of the new hires, my new colleagues, is far below what it used to be. I would swear that... — read more
Busy work
I used to love my job and I knew what I did was important. Call me crazy, but I enjoyed knowing that what I did made a difference. Now, most of what I'm doing each day is busy work. Each new round of layoffs I expect to be affected - and I hope I... — read more
Nike Ranked #20 company in the world by the Drucker Institute
https://www.drucker.institute/2021-drucker-institute-company-ranking/
How long did it take for the enthusiasm to go away?
I would be lying if I said that I was not thrilled to get a job at Nike. I celebrated when I got the offer. That was supposed to be my dream job. I thought I would want to work here for a long, long time... However, the enthusiasm disappeared in... — read more
Leaked email shows back to work opposition.
Alright.... Which one of you was it? https://www.businessinsider.com/nike-back-to-work-plan-email-shows-heavy-opposition-2021-12
Q2 results?
What do you think? Does anyone have any predictions?
THANK YOU NIKE
They made the right decision in delaying the return to work. Overall I’m happy here but have been critical lately of this policy, plus remote work. It could have happened sooner, but glad leadership realized this was the safest option.
Even the Apple CEO gets it! allows remote work during Omicron
They had a scheduled return date of February. Now its TBD. Wonder if Nike will do the same with cases on the rise on the Oregon area. I bet Nike doesn't... No fu--s given by JD.. Apple, which had already delayed its employees’ return to physical... — read more
Nike employing same tactics as Microsoft.
Found this gem on Youtube. Microsoft hired temporary workers known as " Permatemps" from the early 90s to mid-90s. A group of contractors sued Microsoft and won successfully in court. The court (9th circuit) held that Microsoft was treating... — read more
Opinion-based decision making
There is no logic to the way things are done anymore. Instead of making decisions based on market research and in-depth analysis, everything we do is based on the opinion of whoever is the most important senior person in the room when decisions are... — read more
How did we come to this?
that many here think that more than half of the employees have no idea what their roles are?
Why do a survey if they are going to say, "Too bad!" no matter what???
Rhe survey about return to office was an insult. Most of us don't want to return and the email that cane out today basically says, "Too bad. We're better together. So tough." ... Not listening... AGAIN.
Top Functions vs Toxic functions?
I’ve been told there are functions at Nike that are toxic and others are really great to work in. Does this group have input on MS (President Product. Design etc)) and the functions he oversees? Looking at a role that cuts across. Any watch outs... — read more
If you're new at Nike
Best advice I have for anyone new here, use it as experience and bail! Not many jobs here will translate to the real world, after you’ve fallen into the cycle of learning the matrix all over again after each reorg. It’s honestly drained my soul over... — read more
How much more do you work from home?
Contrary to what some claim, it is absolutely not true that employees are reluctant to return to the office because at home they worked a lot less. Nonsense! I have no reason to lie on an anonymous forum, but I will say that the only reason I... — read more

Don’t miss Nike, lol I miss the discount
Most people are just using Nike for a resume boost. I’m glad it works. After being laid off recently, (barely worked at Nike for 2 years) and a few weeks later I interview with some big tech companies, and landed a role paying way more than my Nike... — read more
"religious" accommodation
Turns out, Nike employees can receive a "religious accommodation" as a workaround to the vaccine mandate. No questions asked and you get to work from home until April.
Time to Take a Virtual Knee on these Mandates!
Just because the majority of people are afraid and want something it does not make it OK to force the minority to do something that they don't want to do! Where is the respect? What makes me think that I know what is best for everyone? Where does... — read more
Nike was always competitive
I just didn't ever expect to see it compete for the first place in the bad treatment of employees and most toxic work environment. I don't know how else to explain what's been going on here for the past several years. Things weren't perfect before... — read more
I have never adapted to this culture
I left a good, solid job because I always wanted to work at Nike. That was my dream job. I thought I was going to learn a lot here. However, from the first day I came here, it was clear to me that I would not easily fit into this machine. Whatever I... — read more
New employees
We can complain all we want, but for as long as there are new people who are willing to join and replace those who are leaving, nothing will change. Right now, most of the people who join are happy and satisfied with their jobs. I meet plenty of... — read more
"Push, push!" & "Jan 10th will be great!" Sigh.
Can't wait to all jam into the office on Jan 10, fight for conference rooms every day, watch people have nervous breakdowns, and listen to my boss cram the BS that "Working from the office is better" down our throats while the boss is trying to... — read more
What is up with everyone calling themselves “servant leaders”?
Since when did that become a thing? Is there no other acceptable form of leadership style? Also what does it mean cause half these people definitely don’t fit the google definition of a servant leader so can someone explain it to us, asking for a... — read more
Years of Experience at Nike
Odds are that you’ve been asked the omnipresent question “how many years have you been at Nike”. It used to be a badge of honor and old timers “knew more” than newer employees (and it might still be a badge of honor in some departments - like retail... — read more
Many people think that this is not an innovative company
I would agree only somewhat. Creativity and people with good ideas used to be much more appreciated here. The energy used to be better. However, even now I wouldn't say that it is not an innovative company. That's why it surprises me when some say... — read more
Ruh roh! Grand jury looking into Nike’s 23-year, $400m deal with USATF
An excerpt from today’s Oregonian by Jim Manning Federal prosecutors reportedly are looking into the financial relationship between Nike and USA Track & Field. A grand jury has sought documents from the national track and field governing body... — read more
Layoffs in Chicago, Dallas office closed
I heard there was a few layoffs in Chicago. Some happen in October. I also saw that the Dallas office is closed and shut down completely
Nike is now an old guard firm
Nike has reached the point of corporate maturity. It's now an old guard firm. It has sold out to Wall Street which only cares for numbers. It can no longer be truly innovative because the company culture now only supports team players, not creative... — read more
Nikeland
Nike’s marketing keeps evolving and that’s good, Roblox has a lot of potential, but I’m personally skeptical that Nikeland is a brilliant idea and that Gen Z will be thrilled about it. Any thoughts? (I realize it's not about layoffs but perhaps... — read more
Some things never change
A young guy who is relatively new went into a lengthy rant earlier this week about HR and how instead of helping him, it actually puts obstacles between him and relevant training, benefits, or whatever else it is they're supposed to be helping him... — read more
