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
Old-timers like myself who are nearing retirement are stuck but you're not. Use this place as a stepping stone for something better. As bad as it is to work for, Nike still carries some weight on a resume. Use it while you still can. You don't want... — read more
We employees own the power during this pandemic... OWN IT!
Let's use it! F the leadership. By MO, please by MO. By all of them.
Places you’d recommend?
We can all agree 90% of people on here are/were not happy at the swoosh... Are there any places you’d recommend or freelance advice anyone here can give? My personal qualm is that I’ve been given several highly successful reviews and praise over... — read more
What a useless all company meeting
Title says it all. Discuss
Toxic culture doesn't come out of nowhere
It's created by the ELT and the people they put in management positions on all levels in the company. It's no secret that the majority of good managers are long gone and that the people who replaced them got to those positions either through nepotism... — read more
Anyone else in Design about to have a nervous breakdown?
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
Will the earnings tomorrow be GRAT or not
Well a lot of the Mr. Market magic seems to be deflating, there is that whole China seems to be having something, that is a little authoritarian indigestion, mixed with some good old fashion demand deflation credit crisis. Vietnam is sick with a... — read more
NA Transportation Leaders
How do NA Transportation Leaders get these jobs if they don’t even have any experience? GT is so incompetent it’s pathetic. He’s just KH puppet and how do leaders like him? There is zero respect below him. When will KS learn that she is the reason... — read more
CDA Activation Rescheduled MD IE
anyone know about CDA re-activation being rescheduled?
Nervous ahead of Monday
Next week (actually, this week considering what time it is and I'm still up) we'll know more about the reorg and I am a nervous wreck. I know that most likely I'll be okay but considering everything we've been through in the last few years and all... — read more
B&W Headshots
What the f@#% is up with these ostentatious black and white headshots? lol
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

Moving to Portland, have a housing question.
Family of 4 (mom/dad/8-year-old twins) is about to move to Portland. What kind of house can we expect in a $800K range and what'd be recommended streets or neighborhoods... Good schools would be important and proximity to the HQ plays the role too... — 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
Instead of using those of us who've been here far longer and who have more experience, Nike is determined to give all the best assignments to younger employees and leave the rest of us looking for things to do. It's like they're holding up a sign... — read more
Does Nike want happy and satisfied employees?
No company is ideal and not one is there primarily because of the employees, that much is clear. However, better companies strive to keep employees, or at least the best ones, motivated, satisfied and happy so that they in turn give their... — read more
It seems that even the most loyal are leaving now?
When an employee left for whom everyone knew was doing sloppy work and wasn’t really interested in his or her job, it used to go almost unnoticed. However, when those who have been most passionate about their job start to leave the company, then... — read more
Can this company be more disorganized?
I mean, could it be any worse? Now I have a feeling that I work in the most disorganized company I have ever worked for.
GT Reorg - Sept 17?
Latest rumor going around Sept 17 is "Reorg" day for Global Tech. Anyone hearing anything else? Also hearing Manager PTO getting denied so they can be present during reorg...lets hope the white paper does not go up on all the virtual meeting rooms... — read more
How do you deal with completely unfounded criticism at work?
Lately my manager just doesn't stop directing criticism at me. I don’t know if it’s animosity, maybe it isn’t, but I certainly don’t think it’s fair and constructive criticism either. Only if I suddenly went from a person who does his job well to a... — read more
Mental health matters
Global apparel and shoe company Nike is putting some of its employees' mental health ahead of productivity. It has closed its corporate offices for the week so employees can "enjoy additional time off to rest and recover," [KGV] For many of us... — read more
They want to run us out the door
Nike doesn't want to lay us off to be stuck with paying severance or fire us to be stuck with paying unemployment. Nope. Why do any of that when they can pile on the work along with constant criticism and increasingly stressful work environment and... — read more
Unskilled replacement sometimes have a higher pay than professionals who leave?
A colleague who left was not satisfied with pay. He is now much better paid in the new company. After he left, a person with a lot less skills came in his place. Someone told me that person is now paid more than the experienced and skilled... — read more
Read...this is how we should treat each other
I know your eyes in the morning sun I feel you touch me in the pouring rain And the moment that you wander far from me I wanna feel you in my arms again And you come to me on a summer breeze Keep me warm in your love, then you softly leave And it's... — read more
Bored at Nike?
It's funny how some of my acquaintances who work in other companies think that working at Nike is very challenging, that most employees are enthusiastic about their job and things like that. Yes, this used to be a much more dynamic company but not... — read more
ETW strike for a week?
Nike furloughed all ETW's for a week while paying all FTE's holiday pay. That really hurts a lot of people, especially with the rising costs of living with inflation. How about we take another week off to teach Nike a lesson? Wishful thinking... I... — read more
