I’m not just thinking about the layoffs here. I am interested in what specific changes you would like to see next year and what possible changes are you afraid of? I have never been a big optimist and Murphy’s Law is confirmed in most cases, but I... — read more

I shouldn't be feeling this way
I filled out an online job application today. It’s been over 20 years. I reached the part when it asks to contact current employer. I felt apprehensive and checked yes. I listed my experience and uploaded my resume and the whole time I felt as if I... — read more
End of reorg- January or mid summer?
Confusing! I cannot keep up with all the mixed messages from the “leadership” team. So, is January 2021 the end of THIS reorganizational play or is it now June / July, 2021? Any insight from anyone? This is also my question. Someone posted it on... — read more
Huge burden off my chest
I've been away from Nike for six weeks and despite starting new work pretty much the first day I left I keep feeling like I'm on a long vacation. I didn't even realize how stressed out I really was, how much I dreaded going into work every day until... — read more
Boycott nike
Any corporation firing people in the middle of a pandemic while making profits does not deserve to grow. Please boycott Nike this holiday and give to employers who have avoided or made efforts to retain and support the personnel this season.
Nike Layoffs 2021

How do you feel now?
At first I was angry. I felt like a discarded old shoe box. Then a week went by and I was finally able to experience the grief. There are times throughout my days that I feel nostalgic for what I believed was a great institution. But now I know that... — read more
Does HR actually bring solutions or problems?
It is not at all clear to me what the HR department is actually doing in this company? I mean, what exactly are they doing to help us, their employees? I would not like to cast doubt on their competencies, but they do act a bit incompetent. However... — read more
Global Tech meeting today
This is for you JD, AC and RL, RL,is showing up the best, but is catching the brunt of this. Stop the multiple All Hands, they are not helping. All of you are really bad at this and are not helping the situation. Basically, you S—. All of us... — read more
Post Nike experiences
I won’t be working for Nike for much longer and honestly, I’m not very sad to leave the company. However, changing jobs always brings a lot of uncertainty. Those who went to work in another company - what are your experiences? Can you compare that to... — read more
Any lay-offs in Nike EMEA?
Any lay-offs in Nike EMEA? Seems like most of the axe falls on Portland... The Dutch workers' council really earned their pay on this one!
Those that were laid off, what was the process like?
Did you get a meeting invite from your boss or upper management just before? Was a meeting scheduled far in advance? Did they present your severance at that time? Any light you can shed would be appreciated.
Now that I’m gone, on the subject of Culture
I’m fairly positive about my exit from the company. That said, I wanted to make a suggestion or observation that might serve Nike well to take heed. There still persists a culture at Nike that feels classist. That “man in the high tower” attitude... — read more
Tax Break
For all that invested in company 401K and got laid-off, the IRS has relaxed penalties against early 401K distributions due to Covid. If you qualify, you can take out a 3 Year loan up to 100K. I am not a financial adviser or accountant, please... — read more
Can we take a break next year?
Considering everything that's happened this year at Nike - and I'm definitely not talking just about the pandemic - we really need a nice, boring, nothing-big-is-happening kind of year to come back from it all. Because I'm really not sure how much... — read more
How is that Brand-loyalty & Nike’s lifestyle working out?
So many people at work constantly talking about brand-loyalty, Nike lifestyle, etc. I was even in an interview when a candidate asked why should she choose Nike and the hiring manager laughed, sarcastically, then said “this is Nike, and that is all... — read more
And the hits keep coming
How much more can the company do to us? More layoffs while stock has flourished. It’s another waiting game to see who is next on the chopping block. I definitely can’t wait for Jan 8th to get here so we can be done with all this. It’s nerve wracking... — read more
Laid off and struggling
I got laid off after 5 years and I’m really struggling to cope. I stupidly thought I was going to retire there. I was doing well, working hard and being told all the right things. I know I can find another job bht in so scared of it not being as... — read more

Have you noticed that Nike stock goes up after every layoff?
Coincidence? No. Excessive executive pay and stock options, avoiding taxes, inequality, squeezing workers and suppliers. "Most of what people find so distasteful about American capitalism — the ruthlessness, the greed, the inequality — has its... — read more
Outsourcing your job is coming developers!!!

Age, gender and race played a roll don’t be fooled
If all the layoffs since July through now ( the later lay offs will need to wait until Jan 1 to get this perspective) See who filled your rolls... You will see your age, gender and your race did play a part. Not your expertise, talent and... — read more
I'm in Tech and I'm seriously thinking about going back to teaching
JD said the layoffs were over, but that's not true for Tech or Global Ops as we'll be hit in January or February. I can't take it anymore and am thinking about returning to lower pay and return to a less stress, anxiety, better work life balance and... — read more
remember 'f---ed company'?
OK yes this is like an extension of that, we need that now but this is fine, seriously they are still making money, you can buy shoes online, I don't see their panic
Nike LA Laid Off All White Employees
I can’t believe the Playa Vista( not West) office let go of all the white employees, some have been there for 20+ years and others were approaching their 5th year. We realized after reaching out to each other that it was all the white employees who... — read more
Question for techies...
How does a company Nikes size not have an ADA compliant website? I heard about this from a friend that can not use our site as a result of her permanent disability.
NDP used LinkedIn to decide who stayed. Extreme turmoil inside now. Poor leadership.
Those left behind after last week's layoffs had no say in where they land, are in jobs thry would NEVER interview for, are not allowed to talk to engineering partners about what is going on, and have no say. Corporations don't care. Don't buy the... — read more
Negative impact of Consumer Direct Acceleration?
Something that's been on my mind - many companies, not just Nike, are cutting ties with retailers and shifting distribution towards direct channels. That's their strategy but, aside from layoffs, I wonder what negative consequences for Nike may... — read more
Insourcing
Why doesn't anybody want to talk about this? We were attracted to Nike because of the great benefits, but when we get to a place where we can take advantage of them; out the door you go! Too much vacation, to many sabbaticals, total cost of... — read more
Disgust in Footwear
I find it such BS that PMs buddy gets to stay as a Senior Director in Footwear. This person has a known HR allegation against him for harassing a woman. HR recommended that he be fired awhile ago. But what did PM do? Move the woman out, lay-off the... — read more
How can this be true?
I see so many people here actively wishing for Nike to go down, and it boggles my mind. I can understand wanting to see some systemic changes, I can understand wanting to replace the entire leadership team, but just blindly wanting to see the company... — read more
More Layoffs - Higher Stock Values
Every time the stock price stalls, Nike announces an increase in the layoff numbers. It's now a strategy for those VPs who will be leaving too. As long as that price keeps going up, they will procrastinate the big layoff.
Fired after returning from Maternity Leave
My wife had been at Nike for 6 years and was fired last week. It was her first week back from maternity leave. In her exit/firing call with her VP and HR, they stated that the decision to let her go was made in June, a month after she delivered our... — read more

Why are layoffs always the only solution?
It's more than obvious that this ELT only knows how to deal with any issues through layoffs. It feels like they're not even bothering to consider any other options anymore. Drop in profits? Layoffs. Shareholders not happy about whatever? Layoffs will... — read more
