Will Ekins make it through again?

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.

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 

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 

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.

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

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?
