How do the Ekins stay around? I get they aren’t paid a ton and there aren’t all that many of them but seriously? Are they essential because I must be missing something.
Timing?
Anyone have insight into next rounds timing and at what level? Will the next employee all hands give us clarity or just more vague conversation. This is all torture and manipulation. Im over it.
It's Illegal to promote H1-B to Management
I've seen multiple H-1B's get promoted to management. It totally illegal and should be reported. Yea, I'm talking to YOU! Here is the statute. NOTE: That you have to come here as an execute, NOT BE PROMOTED. EB-1C Eligibility for... — read more
Global Tech no longer in scope for CDA
I was told by a source who was on a call with HR and Tech Comms and an HR person let it slip that Global Tech was no longer a part of CDA so we can move forward with key planning. The other HR gal shot her a weird look so my friend picked up on that... — read more
I was asked today who I trust in CIS?
No one. Thoughts?
Why not make Michael Jordan or Serena Williams our new CEO?
And have JD and MP as advisors? That could bring Nike back around to the athletes and the people and the employees.
Nike does NOT pay better
Since I left Nike over 17 years ago on my own terms, I have been around the block in and aboUt the area. For this who wish to stay for money only, keep in mind that Nike generally pays below market value. They rely on the “we’re Nike” cache and... — read more
Any other Highly Successful or Exceptionals feel a bit unsettled this year?
You work incredibly long hours.. literally covering 2+ jobs at one time. You go through the entire process HR has laid out and even your manager came to the table for you during Calibration Nike has made it an honor to be considered highly... — read more
Will layoffs and "re-org" fix such a bad culture?
It is astonishing how many nasty people work an Nike in positions of Director and beyond. I work in an area at Nike where people will take credit for other people's work and often do it right in front of such people; they do not even mention other... — read more
Actual Worker on the Board instead of FAT CATS
Nike should consider adding a real worker to the board of directors. Someone who is likely to retire, who can represent employees. Maybe mass layoffs would not continually occur if employees were valued more.
With the constant Layoffs, Nike employees should create a Union
Especially IT folks. This is the only way you can protect yourselves from all out greed. I know unions are not always beneficial to employees. Do your research and consider it. You only need 30% of a specific group to organize.
Honest opinions..why or why not
No doubt that there is a lot happening at Nike. Uncertainty over jobs, unclear direction, leadership changes, cultural challenges and unrest, etc. Given all that and instead of waiting to find out if I will or will not have a job, would you accept a... — read more
H-1B posts keep getting removed....
I lost my job training an H-1B. Every-time I post, it gets removed. Either you are an American company or NOT. How many jobs get lost to foreign workers? Maybe Nike is not an American company anymore. China's little Bi*@ch. I don't think they... — read more

A peak into the future of this company
I went to a Ross store earlier today and I saw a bunch of Nike apparel including NBA merch especially in the activewear section where there was more Nike then any other brand. Needless to say but if lots of product is being sent to discounters that's... — read more
If one was to leave the sporting goods industry...
Where would he or she go???
Nike used to be the best company to work for in the entire world (probably). WHAT CHANGED? Thoughts?
Be careful jumping ship to CS
For those that are considering a jump to Columbia, be mindful that it’s a mini version of Nike. To get ahead at Columbia you literally become a child and a tattle tale, not kidding. It’s all the politics with none of the perks and they quietly... — read more
WHQ an artifact?
Post pandemic is it even a competitive advantage anymore? Lay-off fears Covid fears a new normal of home office. Does a drive to Beaverton even sound enticing anymore?
Tech to cut 40% to 50%
Pull up your britches b–ches. Rumor mills says . . . It ain’t gonna be pretty.
PTO PAYOUT
Can anyone confirm if PRO hours are not included with NIKE severance package? I’m hearing rumors they are declining to payout.
Ode To Swoosh
Back in the day, the brand was fun. We all wanted to win and be number one. Serve athletes first and alls ok. But financial greed soon led the way. We’re a family, we are a team. But no one cares for you, it’s just a dream. Work... — read more
Round #2 layoffs this week?
2 weeks ago it was ELT, are E/U/L Bands this week? My anxiety levels are through the roof.
Daycare closure saving jobs essential to the business
Wow people’. You have no clue. I worked in finance and saw the huge costs Nike paid. You really think the teacher/child ratios were consistent with the market? Nope. The Nike teachers were amazing but thats because they had way more staff than could... — read more
So tired of this
Remember when working here used to be fun? Remember when just coming into work didn't require deep breaths and repetitions of "it's going to be okay" mantra? When managers knew their jobs and actually had your back if there was ever a problem? When... — read more
No cuts in Nike EMEA!
In the US corporate fat cats get trillion dollar bailouts with no strings attached! They use tax payers' money to line their own and shareholders' pockets In "socialist" Europe companies only get government bailouts if they don't fire anybody. BTW... — read more
John Donahoe Receives a Covid-19 Bonus, WTF?
Just in case you’re wondering how Corporate America works, take a gander. Donahoe was essentially brought in to orchestrate this lay-off. For comparison of just how grossly outrageous his compensation pkg is, note that his total 2018 compensation in... — read more
Has all 500 people been notified?
With the week filled with layoffs behind us, I'm wondering (and hoping) if all the affected employees have already been notify? It's really hard to find any kind of an official number on all of this, so I guess it's on us to put the pieces together... — read more
Pushback on daycare outsourcing leads to closure?
I wonder if how some employees reacted to Nike’s plan to last year to outsource the daycare to Endeavour caused the sudden closure now that the they had the chance to exit via the reorg. While the outsource solution wasn’t ideal it certainly would... — read more
Don't be surprised with the closure of Child Care Centre...

Was it Shoe Dog or Lord of the Flies...or
Its seems that those NDAs are going to be very important, as many folks feel that Nike has betrayed them in some way. Will disclosures damage the Brand, if they identify something other than the Enlightened Wokeness of KAPISM. NIKE always... — read more

How do they do it? Call? Conference with HR?
Do you know how does the actual act of communicating that you've been laid off happen? What do they tell you? How long does it take? Thank you?
Why did the Chief Diversity Officer decide to resign now, is this related to the Portland protests
Why now, and is this related to the Portland protests against Market Capitalism.
