It seems there aren’t a lot of good places to go to when things go rotten at Nike. HR dept will eventually get ahold of most employee problems that arise and leave us all wondering if anything is actually registering. When the story eventually breaks... — read more 

I’ve never seen morale this low at any company I’ve worked for and I’ve been at nike (lower case) going on 12 years. The layoffs and demotions are continuing and everyone is in fear of losing their jobs. Nerves are razor edge and the paranoia is... — read more 

Let me ask you something, would you still consider joining Nike when you did if you knew at that time what you know now? I had no idea what kind of situation I was walking into. I had no idea how little this company cared about its employees. I can... — read more 

Now I would most like to be able to go back to Nike. For some private reasons, and also because I thought the grass was much greener somewhere else, I found some courage and left the company after almost a decade of work there. I quickly realized... — read more 

All the Executives and HR at Nike should be required to watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Then look in the mirror to check their morality and integrity. Are you team Voldemort or team Potter?

I can’t believe how many nike jobs are being posted on LinkedIn. Dark humor that they have had an effective hiring freeze since 2019, then lay so many off and now they are going gang busters hiring. All within a very questionable CDA construct... — read more 

If you're part of North America (or any other GEO/category) for that matter you know that it has been an absolute mess. People have no idea what their new roles entail and neither do their leadership. They're just figuring it out on the fly. A lot of... — read more 

Is yelling the only thing Nike managers know how to do? Is that the absolute maximum level of communication they're able to achieve when asking something of their subordinates? What happened to civilized communication? To talking, discussing, and... — read more 

No layoff, but they're going to demote people. Does that help morale? No. It makes it worse. WTF? Who are you over privileged white a–holes that live a lifestyle beyond the average worker? Do you see yourself as that special and privileged? ... — read more 

Sad to see that Nike has transformed from a way of life in its heyday into a run-of-the-mill career and finally into an insecure job - all in the span of a decade or so. I know this will be hard for those who've been here just for a few years to... — read more 

I have seen few Sr. Director level people at HR leave the org. Not sure if that was their choice or directly related to CDA though. With that said, I believe that was expected given that HR has a rather high number of Sr. Directors...

I feel terrible. I accidentally made such a stupid mistake at work and I expect to be fired at any moment. The mistake is not huge and fortunately it can be corrected, I offered a solution, but I still don’t think it will pass. I’m already panicking... — read more 

Are promotions and pay increases back on or are we still saying that can’t happen for anyone other than VPs because of corona?

I have noticed Nike in the eyes of other people is a renowned brand and many think it is a privilege to work for this company. After years of working here, after seeing and hearing all sorts of things, I would love to go to a competing company. Is... — read more 

You’ll never know why most people are laid off. It can be any of a number of reasons. I’d say 99% are let go for one of the following reasons: poor performance excessive absenteeism a role is eliminated or your role is duplicative ... — read more 

For me it is, but I have coworkers who vehemently disagree so I'm curious what others think.

I don't understand why the reasoning behind my coworkers being kicked to the curb has to remain an ongoing mystery? Were they making too much money? Were they one of too many white males? Did they have a record with Hr? Not being transparent with... — read more 

Will there be layoffs this week? A coworker mentioned something but outside of that I wasn't able to find any info. I'd like to think they would wait at least a little bit longer in the new year before hitting us with something like that, but this is... — read more 

I hope we implode.

It dawned on me today that the company has created a no win situation for us, a truly toxic environment. We spend most of our time hoping and praying we’re not involved in the next round of layoffs. But then when the layoffs are done if we’re still... — read more 

I am new in this company and now apart from the general stress of whether I will be fired or not, I feel an additional pressure because I found out yesterday that I am pregnant. I am overjoyed but unfortunately I cannot fully enjoy that happiness... — read more 

Leaving Nike was the best thing that could have happened to me. As other people have said, you don't realize how toxic the place is until you are gone. There are so many great jobs outside of the swoosh. Don't allow yourself to feel trapped. You... — read more

I’ve been gone over 6 months. I spent years at Nike, and realize today that I don’t miss anything about the company itself. There are people who I miss, those who weren’t into the political games and actually worked as a team. I still keep in touch... — read more 

The ELT and CLT should think hard about this one. Real hard. Or is it that your pockets are so lined that you turn your head? Again, unethical. How do you sleep? You can afford to move on and land your next heavy pay check. Someone needs to... — read more 

When I was just starting out I was very young and only now do I see that I have stayed longer than needed in the company. I guess one becomes complacent and doesn’t think long term about career, and then after a few years finds themselves in trouble... — read more

Yes, yes, yes, just like that: Nike mastered the art of deception and unethical behaviors that go undetected to its own employees and the public. I work in HR and I know this much is true. I absolutely agree. Are you horrified when you read... — read more 

So earnings is set for this Friday, after market-close, before a long holiday break? That’s a pretty classic tactic to bury bad news. Seems a bit sketchy to me.

Oh please. Paraphased from GT call: " Everyone talks about layoffs. This is about growth." ("LOOK OVER HERE INSTEAD!") It's insulting, disrespectful.

Be wary of personnel changes like promotions/demotions/geographic moves where leadership secretly assumes the employee will either decline or eventually end up leaving. Those aren't counted as "layoffs," but they're part of the strategy. NIke is... — read more 

I want to believe that things will improve and at the end of the day we will all keep our positions. But the reality is there will always be layoffs, some major and some small. That is the world we live in, made worse by the pandemic. The only thing... — read more
