I heard layoffs are around the corner and I am curious to see if a VSP will be offered and if so - what it will entail. I’ve been with the company for quite a few years, watched it slide down hill and I’m ready to get out. How many others are willing... — read more 

Whose ready to take this survey in March 2021? I can’t imagine anything but disappointing results. Which in turn leads to more reorg rather than addressing the central issues. Let me ask you reader, what would it take for you over the next 6... — read more 

Nike has fallen a long way from when I first began with this company. There is no guidance and very little training which is sorely needed to perform job functions. Unless HR becomes involved, issues in-store are ignored by district management... — read more 

Just take a look at MP and JD's stock options. Wealth disparity anyone? Something is seriously wrong when you have 2 people sitting on >$350M of vested options and locking up >$50M in your first 6 months, respectively, all while having layoffs/not... — read more 

Nike band E and above employees are granted stock options annually. Eligible employees get to select 100% Stock Options, 100% RSUs or 50/50 blend. Either way, the new grant has historically been made visible on Fidelity Net Benefits website about... — read more 

Are we expecting MORE than an 82% increase in digital sales post CDA? Interesting to read JD’s email. It couldn’t have come across more muted and blasé. Feels like maybe the team is feeling pressure to justify why we are laying off longtime... — read more 

To say that things have not been good at Nike is an understatement, yes. It all started to look even worst when lay-offs started in the middle of a pandemic, yes. Nike's culture seems to have been an a downward slope for years now and it does seem... — read more 

Curious if anyone is aware if Voluntary Layoffs could or would be considered? I heard it was pretty successful at Intel based from feedback from some of my friends that work there.

There is no doubt in my mind that I would rather have the layoffs happen quickly rather than have them dragged out. Rip the bandaid off so that we can either 1) move on from a badly run company, or 2) breathe a sigh of relief (at least until the next... — read more 

"Interesting" to see that the executive compensation approved at today's shareholder meeting resulted in a $1,000,000+ raise for each executive, yet most of the company didn't even get the usual cost of living bump due to covid...win as a team...

I've been weighing my options, looking for a possible exit strategy but so far I've had no luck in landing an interview. I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong (it's been a while since I last looked for a new job) or is it really just the wrong... — read more 

What does a non-lay-off communication from HR look like? I assume if you’re not being let go and offered another position, you’ll also receive a meeting notification from HR/manager? Does it look exactly the same? Should I expect a heart-stopping... — read more 

After 18 years and happy Nike Storyteller, I can tell you that SH1T is hitting the fan. The culture has deteriorated beyond what I ever thought was possible. Nike was never just paycheck, it was much, much more. "Serve (PK) the athlete... — read more 

Just guessing (full disclosure, I have absolutely no knowledge to speak with any authority here), but I'd assume that any plans to lay anyone off in the next few weeks have probably been put on hold what with all that we're going through right now... — read more 

What are your opinions on the new hires happening in Technology, especially engineering, product management, design etc? There are both individual contributor and leadership roles (director and above). Seeing a lot of job postings for global... — read more 

Stop complaining. Nike is far from the worst company to work. My brother lost his job several months ago and watching him and his family struggle has been heartbreaking and eye opening. This place is far from ideal, but it's still providing me with a... — read more 

I'm getting so sick and tired of the stress that comes with working for Nike. I am well aware of the fact that grass is not always greener, but how much worse can it be than what we go through here every day? Current leadership is terrible and will... — read more 

I've recently purchased 2 pairs of $200+ running shoes on swoosh.com for my cousin who is light runner. Both pair blew out with 25 miles. Poor quality will k–l customer satisfaction even faster than hypocrisy. She's been wearing Nike ever since... — read more 

I know that JD stated that Nike retail store employees wouldn’t be impacted in layoffs. However seeing how there is a downturn in traffic one would think that statement wasn’t true

Is Nike doing anything to prevent burnout and the high (and continuously growing) turnover rate of employees?

@JD.. when we asked for change, what we were really asking for is accountable leadership. Today it feels like we have simply moved from Friends of T and J, to Friends of H and M. Servant leadership, without accountability is another hollow... — read more 

It is a like a mentally abusive relationship - you know the right thing to do is get out but you stick around thinking it will get better then you get pushed out! OMG! just get it done - one way or another - and let us move on. FFS!

Hey JD, Nike leadership. We’re stressed, frustrated and scared. Thats what should have been addressed at today’s meeting. I know there are reasons for Extending this agonizing waiting period past the previously mentioned timeline but it really... — read more 

Has there been any RIF at Valiant, is the leader still in place.

3 years ago around this time, I got layoff by Nike while on my first sabbatical. I had been with the company for 13 years and in the same IT department. I was loyal so it hurt bad and it took me a while to get over. In the end, I decided to take my... — read more 

Today was not the day, apparently. So the stress continues. I’m really tired of being told by leadership to just stay focused. Can we just get it over with?

The amount of time to react to change for layoff needs is exactly the problem leading to not producing right product to the consumer on time. So if the leaders managing the layoffs cant figure it out due to complexity, how about thinking to remove... — read more 

Someone on a previous post asked why can’t you ex employees get some closure and it was a very good question. My time at Nike kept me up some nights, many years later. I often was left thinking my experience was unique and therefore, I had a large... — read more

Anyone else suddenly getting a denial when trying to access this site from your Nike computer? Me suspects that our esteemed leadership has wised up to our dirty little secret here...?

Global merchandising team should be the first to be cut. Online shopping is the new direction. They are overpaid to put socks on mannequins.

As an employee who was affected by the 2016 layoffs, then rehired, (and one likely to be hit when the ax drops on Oct. 1st) these lay offs are not entirely shocking...... In the over 10 years I've been employed here, now seems like the most over... — read more
