I worked at Nike for a few years and left on good terms. After that I worked for the competition, very briefly. I changed my mind and would love to go back to Nike. Is it better not to even try it or do I still have a chance of getting a job at Nike... — read more

I'm still proud to work for Nike
I refuse to let the incompetent and often corrupt management define the company I've spent the last two decades of my life at. We are better than this. People come and go but the brand remains. I'm still proud to say I work for the brand that... — read more
Do we know how many people we are losing to attrition each month?
From what I can see, the number keeps growing consistently. This is no surprise, considering how Nike enjoys mistreating its employees but it should be something that those on the top should pay more attention to. There are only so many competent... — read more
Nothing seems to change here
I left almost a year ago, sometimes I visit the forum to see if there are any changes, but unfortunately it seems that nothing is changing for the better here? Moreover, when I read some posts it seems that everything is now worse.
Missed opportunities
Recently I had a discussion with a colleague about whether Nike made the most of all the opportunities it had. We roughly agreed that the company missed a lot of good opportunities, and that the focus was very often on the wrong things. What do you... — read more
Do you trust Nike leaders?
That is, since when do you not trust the leadership here? It is very difficult to work for a company where I constantly expect that those at the top will do everything to better themselves at the expense of ordinary employees. I don't trust them at... — read more
Nike Internal Security
Just got pinged to interview for a security analyst with a focus on inside threats. Analyze user data for internal threats…: I’ve worked for DoD companies that made stuff that goes bo-m and we weren’t this suspicious of our own people. Nice campus... — read more
Nike and Nike Tech
What I expect from an employer: Fair wages, medical benefits, matching 401, and a good working environment that's safe and has growth opportunities. Nike doesn't pay market, does have great benefits and matching, but the environment is toxic... — read more
Nike's advantage, Surveillance of competition, people of interest, and employees.
All the secrecy, whether it is warranted or not, is never talked about. Nike Tech at least does that in a first-class manner. Apple kind of wrote the book on all this, Steve Jobs just never wanted to work real hard, and then let someone else take... — read more
Angry bi--h again...
You want loyalty? Than treat your employees right. Apologize. It doesn't need to be recorded or documented. Pull them aside and say "I'm sorry for what you went through"
Gallup Engagement Survey Results?
Does anyone know if there is a deadline to share these out? I’ve heard nothing about them from my division.
Cutting out contractor agency 1099?
What's stopping me from negotiating my own contract with Nike as a 1099 as a ETW vs getting screwed over by my agency? Serious question. Why not cut of the middleman who sucks you dry? 🤔
Layoffs and Reorg - Nike Tech
The lack of communication and, honestly, lack of vision for Nike Tech is disturbing. Any news about when or if more layoffs and restructure of Nike Tech?
Nike is not going anywhere
Whether you like it or not, Nike is still very relevant and influential and is far from being close to failure as some here predict. I don't like that, I don't think we deserve the reputation we have due primarily to how badly employees are treated... — read more
Where do you get the motivation to work?
It’s pathetic when all that motivates you is your next paycheck. That is now the main and only motive for almost everyone in this company, and it was not like that before. On the other hand, there are more and more things that demoralize me. It is... — read more
Q4 Earnings
Brought to you by stimulus checks and layoffs. Yay!
PSP, Fridays in July and a week in August off.
Just like the CDA these “off” days are going to leave things in a bigger mess than we were already in. That said, APR better be happening and not use these “off” days to deflect!
Working at Nike costs more money than leaving..
As an ETW, I'm already priced out of the Beaverton/ Hillsboro area on a 60k a year salary. How do guys/gals do it? I'm trying to buy my first house and keep getting outbid or the homes within my budget.. Most homes are older 70s, 80s homes that are... — read more
Dread going back to freestyle
Anyone else dread going back to ‘freestyle’ this Fall? TBH I hated it BEFORE Covid. Scrambling to get in early to find a place to park and sit and it’s like trying to work in a school cafeteria, with constant noise, interruptions, people goofing off... — read more
Does Nike learn anything from its mistakes?
It seems to me that this company does not learn anything from its mistakes and keeps repeating the same ones again and again. As if it was stuck in a loop. Why is this happening, I wonder? Maybe it’s because those at the top never want to accept... — read more
Sound familiar?
Internal Amazon documents show how company pressures out 6% of office workers each year
Raises
Does anybody know if the raises will attempt to make up for getting no raises last year?
You all need to learn how to get promoted (or just be happier).
Tip #1: If you feel like you're working your a** off and not getting promoted for it.. Well of course, you're not getting it, dummy! If you got promoted, who would do all the work? Tip #2: Work just hard enough to NOT get fired. That's what all... — read more
Changing roles
I'm trying to figure out why would Nike hire people to do a specific thing but then put them in a completely different role that has nothing to do with it. I've seen it happen more than once and each time I could make zero sense of it. I'm not even... — read more
When is a better time to quit?
I'm thinking about leaving Nike because lack of career growth and mediocre compensation, recently got two offers but still negotiate and continue interviewing. I know RSU vesting is on 9/1, so if I give my two-week notice in late August and have my... — read more
I am very disappointed
Money, promotion, career progression, feeling valued and appreciated, challenge - what motivates you to keep working here? It seems to me that there are fewer and fewer things that could motivate people to come and stay at Nike. This company has... — read more
Negative feedback
I'm so tired of constantly getting negative feedback from my manager over things that I have very little control over. Especially when I try to explain this to him and he cuts me off as if I'm trying to give him excuses instead of explain how things... — read more
medical insurance is a joke as a ETW
My contractor agency has horrible insurance plans. 1) is a low deductible plan which basically covers RX's and some office co-pays. 2) is a high deductible plan which sounds great on paper, as it covers most co-pays and ER visits. I come to find out... — read more
Quitting Time
Today I quit my job at Nike without another job lined up. Why you may ask? This company is an embarrassment and shouldn’t even be included in the Top 5000 places to work. I’ve watched racism, sexism, ageism, and many other isms take place by various... — read more
Selection process becoming strange
With due respect to everyone and with no intention of sounding arrogant, but I really can’t believe whom Nike hired to replace my colleague who went for greener pastures. I was once younger as well, I had almost no experience but I tried to learn as... — read more
Nike targeting older workers?
Did they layoff everyone over 45? I’ve been gone for a few years but my LinkedIn feed is a daily parade of former peers who are all now out of jobs. It seems like this has been non stop since last March. It is really unfortunate as the... — read more
Kap Got Paid and FU-Q To the Employees
Buh Bye....shoulda taken a knee like Saibt Kap. He may throw INTs but you all are not worthy of being on his feet
For those who need reminding
You are worth so much more than how Nike has been treating you. Managers here like to manage through fear and intimidation, like to try and convince people that this is the best it can get for them so they should just shut up and be grateful for a... — read more
Work hard or not, it doesn't matter?
It’s amazing to me how hard it is to get Nike to really notice that a person is a high performer. I gave my best for a long time, I tried as hard as I could, and it didn't bring any results. At Nike I had the same status when I worked enough for 3... — read more
