As soon as Parker promised Wall St. 50B in revenue by 2020 any great ideas went away. Thinking that big requires time, but Nike is now trapped in a short term numbers game every FY quarter. Instead of new ideas, we get more reorgs and layoffs to... — read more 

Not sure how many but I'm one of them. Anyone else?

What bothers me a lot here at Nike lately is that the company doesn’t promote the idea of doing a job in a smarter, easier way. Everything is done the hard way. Someone who has worked hard to finish the job is valued more than someone who has found a... — read more 

How do employees afford to live in the Beaverton, Aloha area where Nike S level executives live? I've heard in a few meetings that have been brought up.......Management has said " Nike is a team collaborative company. Our culture depends on us being... — read more 

I came here as very young and ambitious new employee and honestly, I had the idea to make a great career here. Nike was my dream company. What a mistake... Whatever I did and no matter how much effort I invested, I always felt like a surplus and... — read more 

Don't get me wrong, I know layoffs are happening but it feels like people are worrying about it here disproportionally to the actual threat they represent. From what I can recall, there were two bigger rounds in the past two years. That's about the... — read more 

Hi AH! Well since now you know how it feels to be shown the door (er “resigned for personal reasons”), it’s a good time for you to learn how it feels when others take glee in your downfall. A short time ago you held a rah-rah meeting and... — read more 

I’ve spent over 15 years with this company and I’m still here. After all this time there is one regret I have. I was never given any significant opportunities to actually add to my skillset since I got my foot through the door. I hate to say it but I... — read more 

A few things annoy me as much as those who act smart with their "just leave, will you" talk. Everybody has a reason for staying and while none of them are anybody else's business, I'll share mine. I joined Nike over fifteen years ago. It was a dream... — read more 

C'mon people, you're acting like somebody is forcing you to stay. It was never easier to find a new job than now! Just be willing to change field/industry. You have so many options for remote positions all over the country - something that was never... — read more 

Awkward. Does anyone know what entrance you’re supposed to use as a laid off employee with lifetime access? Employee entrance or everyone else entrance? Kids need shoes and I’d rather not embarrass myself or workers anymore than I need to when I’m... — read more 

Sometimes I feel we’re just an endless stream of U & L bands- let’s face it, we’re just going where the Nike ship points us. But are there any E + bands that try to leverage the info to better their teams? Not trying to you, but just hoping someone... — read more 

An individual on my team consistently ignores my emails, yet issues speedy replies to others. Even when it’s work he has asked my manager to have me do, it’s no reply once I send it on. I understand that people are busy, but it seems odd that as the... — read more 

Have you ever had fun working here? If so, when did it stop? I’ve been at Nike for three years now and I work with pain in my chest. In the previous company I worked for, culture was fun. There was a lot of work, but also fun. I came here when that... — read more 

While I can applaud the principles espoused by the brand, I also challenge John Donahoe to look deeper, that is if he actually cared about equity. In the recent impact report, he crows about equity in the workplace, and supporting the Black Lives... — read more 

I am burned out to the point of exhaustion and sometimes regret ever coming to Oregon. Can anyone relate?

I came from a company where the voice of employees is actually heard and I thought the situation at Nike was much better in that regard, but it seems to me that I was wrong in my assessment. Too bad this is not a company where you can easily chime in... — read more 

This needs to start from within first. Nike’s reputation and trust began to deteriorate with employees and this latest fiasco only solidified it. JD wants to gain consumers trust back but before you can do that you have to clean your own... — read more 

I recently spoke with one younger person who quit Nike because he feels bored. At first I was really surprised by that. I remember when I started working here as a young man and everything was fascinating to me, there was no opportunity to feel bored... — read more 

I never get comfortable with any company. I don't understand why people assume once you get hired you don't have to perform or be responsible for yourself or your development. Why the hell would I want my manager be responsible for my own... — read more 

If this board has proven anything, it's that those who get laid off are the lucky ones (just go back and read the accounts of those who were laid off or quit.) It's staying here that's the problem. Why wouldn't you want to get away from the toxicity... — read more 

Do you feel appreciated? When was the last time you felt that you and your work were really recognized as an important part of this machine? March 5th once made sense, when I first started working at this company, but now this date only reminds me... — read more 

Everyone dreams of an ideal company, but that is an utopia. There is no such thing. There are only your priorities. What is really sad, and what I notice, is that everyone at Nike is there now mostly just for the sake of paycheck. It wasn't that... — read more 

Accuracy is certainly important at what I do here, but I’ve been pushed to the limits of exhaustion lately because my superior is looking for perfection that I can’t fulfill. I don’t think I’m the best employee ever, but I don’t think there are... — read more 

I’ve been with Nike for almost 8 years and I haven’t heard a single story. Correction - I’ve read them here. You would think that if someone is being retaliated against it would make the rounds, wouldn’t it? People talk (or gossip) and things like... — read more 

After the last controversy who here thinks Nike will be able to salvage their even more tarnished reputation? The brand has taken so many hits in the last few years - more than it has in its entire existence. There is only so long that our past... — read more

I come home dead tired every day. Literally, I have almost no private life anymore. I have a feeling I’m working all the time. I don’t think the reason is that I don’t know how to schedule my time well, because I haven’t always been in this... — read more
