Any more layoffs before month's end?
There were some layoffs this month as it was rumored, but from what I can see it was not that big - which makes me worry that we are yet to see the layoffs those rumors were referring to. After all, Nike rarely does something half-way. Any news on... — read more

Gone are the days when Nike was a family. We are all waiting to get laid off or contracted out or stepped on or pushed aside for someone less qualified with connecs. At least we got the good job benefits ( for now)

Nike's Valiant Labs
Valiant labs is the biggest scam on the Nike campus. Lots of talk aka innovation by web browsing not doing. And yes, VP makes Hitler and Stalin look like amateurs. Crazy poor people management skills.

Why are Nike whistleblowers congregating on this site?
A honest question? why here and not twitter, etc?
Nothing has changed after the employee survey
All we do is continue to hire white guys from the outside. Diversity & inclusion is a joke. Countless qualified people of color and women, god forbid, are passed over. I have five times the experience of my new manager! #TimeToMoveOn. Eric Sprunk... — read more

Nike is not 40+ friendly
If you’re over 40 at Nike, you better have friends in high places. This is very much true. Nobody over 40 (it used to be 50 a while back, but that number seems to be dropping rapidly) is safe at Nike. Part of it is higher pay, part is probably the... — read more
Question about Nike
My father noticed that all the Nike recruitment ads for positions show mainly young diverse people in pictures. His point is do they actively recruit older experienced people? You can’t tell by the pictures. Also I heard as an employee you have to... — read more

The Kaepernick deal benefited Nike after all
I’d say this was smart advertisement from the start, and now it’s paying off. The minor stock drop after the campaign announcement was nothing more than the market reaction to something that was not anticipated, and nothing more. You may like or not... — read more
