Topics regarding layoffs at Nike Inc.

Some still think they are an important part

Are those that Nike manages to convince that they are an important part of the bigger company mission a bit funny to you too? So did my colleague, thought that he was very important and valued here, until he started wondering why he didn’t get a... — read more 

Quarter one layoffs

Has the unofficial word gone out yet about the quarter 1 layoffs - oops, sorry I meant "re-org". Are the demotions and pay cuts for roles that remain been communicated to those impacted?

Surprising choice of people to cut

I was laid off at the end of last year and looking at the group I was in was surprising. I can be subjective about my own worth but I knew these people and their worth and cutting them made no sense. I've heard about more people being cut since then... — read more 

What can stop a mass departure?

I also don’t believe that a higher pay could stop the mass departure of people that Nike is now facing. It's not all about the money. The best people are leaving. I'm tired of the political mess that Nike has turned into and nothing can stop me... — read more 

Hard times in the past?

The situation is not great. People are leaving. I've been here very short time, but I can already see that I will soon have to look for a new job. My question is for those who know this company much better: has there ever been such a turbulent... — read more 

Things change, deal with it

People here act like Nike is the only place that has changed in the past decade or so. Everything has changed - the world, other companies, even the people you know. Trying to stay in the past has never been good for anybody. We don't have to like... — read more 

Mass Exodus?

In the past few weeks, I have seen numerous posts on LinkedIn from Sr Directors, Directors and Managers announcing their departure from Nike. From the ones I personally know, they are SOLID employees with 5+ years at the company. There have been so... — read more 

I started hating my job here

I’ve always wanted to do the job I do. I thought that at Nike I would have the opportunity to learn a lot more about my job and I considered working here a great challenge that will allow me to grow. Quite the opposite. I almost started so despise my... — read more

Forcing people back to the office ..

Let the waive of attrition begin.. feel terrible for the already under staffed and demoralized recruiting team https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-06-01/return-to-office-employees-are-quitting-instead-of-giving-up-work-from-home

What makes the competition better?

I’m trying to make a small list with the comparative advantages and disadvantages of Nike over the biggest competitors. Some things can be learned from the competition, right?

Hiring from within

Has anyone managed to get hired from within, and succeeded due to their hard work, engagement, talents and commitment only - not connections and favoritism? I failed, and when I later found out who started working in that position, I decided to... — read more 

If you are considering Nike for a job, don't!

Stay away. Stay as far away as you can. Do you know what you'll get here if you're good at what you do? A target over your head. Everybody will see you as a threat (which is not far from the truth considering the quality of management here) and will... — read more 

Wrong course?

Maybe I don't understand well enough how to efficiently run a business, but it undoubtedly seems to me that Nike has long since lost its compass and is going in the wrong direction. Some business moves are very disappointing and their effects are yet... — read more 

Resignation...FINALLY

Folks, I have had enough of all the bad apples with whom I work at Nike Tech. I am witnessing a complete lack of communication, lack of accountability, clear favoritism towards "friends" of the hiring managers, backstabbing and gossip, lack of... — read more 

Non-compete agreement

What are the experiences of those who switched to competition after Nike? I would very much like to move to a competing company, although I fear that the legal risks could be more serious than I think. I don't want to stay here anymore and... — read more 

Expectations and reality

I would like to hear what were your expectations from Nike when you were just looking for a job here and how did things turn out for you? I was surprised, for example, that this is not a company where people are empowered to make decisions because I... — read more 

Lost motivation as a ETW

When I first started at Nike, I was excited to be part of the technology team. I did whatever was asked, took extra duty. Now I'm feeling disillusioned. I have a shelf life coming up with no mention of a extension. literally watched another... — read more 

Retirement Tour

I left Nike. But when I was there it was commonplace for VPs that were past their perceived glory days to get a soft, 2-year exit plan. Basically the VP would be given a less important role in a less important department then coast for 2 years before... — read more 

Is there an end to all the bad moves?

Frankly, there is nothing Nike has done recently that’s deserving of praise. It’s been one bad decision after another, since January 2020. Off the top of my head: CDA was the most incompetent, unprofessional thing I’ve ever seen in my entire... — read more 

How easy is it to switch positions at Nike?

I didn’t come here that long ago so I don’t know yet how some things work here. In the previous company, I was terrified of people who were real job hoppers and would change the department every now and then. Just around time when it would become... — read more 

Don't you guys ever get tired of complaining?

Nike is not the best employer but it's not the devil incarnate either. I'm not saying stop complaining, but at least occasionally can we see a positive post here, or maybe even two? Are you telling me that out of so many employees none have positive... — read more 

Smaller distance but lower pay?

When people started talking about returning to the office, I started looking for a new job. That’s not the only reason, but it may have been crucial, as more than an hour and a half to work was total waste and was exhausting me to the max. Now I... — read more 

What is the best advice you can give?

I’ve been with Nike for less than a year. What is the best advice anyone can give for someone who is fairly new and unsure if he wants a career here? Is a career here even possible? I’m just uncertain if I should take whatever skills I eventually... — read more 

Nobody protects you here

I work at a store and the one thing I learned in my four years here is that nobody has your back. Everybody is ready to throw you under the buss if they believe it'll help them in any way - even (or especially) in front of customers. To say it's a... — read more 

Toxic environment and the guilt

Some of us know and majority don't know. The guilt, the burden and the shame... For over a year now. The threatening language to not talk to anyone to include our peers. Or..."you will be fired". But, they don't tell us anything. I can't take... — read more 

Bureaucratic nightmare

That's a good description - a bureaucratic nightmare. There have been situations where I’ve become convinced that Nike is just that, and I haven’t been in this company for long. I worked for a competitor and several other companies where this was... — read more 

Will better days ever return?

Sometimes I feel sorry for the new people who just came to Nike and who weren’t here and don’t know what it all looked like when this company was a great place to work. On the other hand, I would sometimes prefer that I had just come here, so that... — read more 

How is the perception of Nike in public changing?

OK, this may have nothing to do with cuts, but I'm still interested in your opinion. Someone mentioned that one of the priorities of this company is to maintain its cool image. I think that image has been shaken considerably, especially lately. Your... — read more 

Is it surprising how fast things get worse?

I find it strange how quickly changes happen here. Unfortunately, changes for the worse. I didn’t come to this company long ago, and some things got drastically worse in a very short time. I though that such a large company could go downhill, but... — read more 

CFE process a complete waste of time

I hated the CFE process at Nike. Wasting time filling out a bunch of stupid forms which no one ever looked at, then getting your review rescheduled about six times, only to get a satisfactory rating and a very small raise, no matter how hard you... — read more

Noone is listening to us

Every true leader knows how important it is to listen to their employees, to make decisions using employee inputs, to know what employees expect from them, and so on. Still, it seems to me that Nike has decided not to listen to its employees, so... — read more 

Why do they insist we go back to the office?

I basically don’t care, I work hard both from home and the office, but I find it interesting that they want us back to the office since I think it’s cheaper for them when we work from home. Are we more productive in the office or is it just that they... — read more
