I was moved in CDA under a team completely different from my old one. I don’t know what I’m doing and constantly feel lost - but because it’s a CDA move I’m expected to already know what I don’t. Anyone else in the same boat? I’m working crazy hours... — read more

I want to a sales conference with Nike, was part of strategic accounts, I got taken advantage of... I confided in a teammate from customer service about it now called “marketplace operations” he tried to help but senior boss who is still in role told... — read more 

I spent 25 years at the swoosh before being caught up in the job eliminations in 2018. My first 10 - 12 years were absolutely the best! Challenging work, GREAT PEOPLE to work with, a culture that was vibrant and positive for the most part. When... — read more 

Recently, a younger colleague complained to me that he is a victim of backstabbing and that he would prefer to leave the company because he does not know how to deal with it. Sticking a knife in someone's back is nothing new here. It took me a... — read more 

I’ve always wanted to work at Nike because I was impressed by what presented itself as a corporate culture. I thought there was room for everyone here. I don’t think so anymore. If you’re a more introverted type by nature, you’re not going to have... — read more 

I stumbled upon an old clip in which Steve Jobs, shortly after the release of the Nike+ product line, gives advice to Nike to “get rid of the cra**y stuff”. It seems to me that we have now more than ever just such things, and less and less great... — read more 

How strict is Nike about enforcing a non-compete agreement? I was offered a position with a competitor and I don’t want it to come back and bite me where the sun doesn’t shine if I accept. The pay and benefits are slightly better than what I am... — read more 

This forum is largely ignored by Wall Street analysts, the Nike stock is stronger than ever among Institutional holders. The posters here are presenting a picture of a dumpster fire at best, mass abuse of employees at worst. It has become an... — read more 

CDA has been a huge mess! JD was very transparent early on but now that his mission is spiraling out of control he is MIA - not to mention his last all company meeting was a DISASTER. This guy needs to go because he is driving this ship into... — read more 

Say your a mom trying to buy soccer cleats and shorts for your daughter. Just take a look at how many clicks on Nike.com it takes to filter down to Soccer. Every single additional click represents a hurdle keeping us from closing the... — read more 

WhY are posts here getting removed? I have seen posts get deleted that don’t name any names or share company information. What’s the deal?

Dressed as squirrels delivering layoff notices to random employees. Keep a bowl of nuts ready. I heard it might derail them. Seriously, this is not a site for nonsense posts. This site is meant for those affected or to be affected. The fear... — read more 

I know a lot of employees who are loyal to Nike, and I know a lot of current/former employees who hate the company with passion - and that’s fine in either case. Regardless how you feel, you need to look out for yourself and your future. No one knows... — read more 

Someone said they heard next round of layoffs will be March. Has anyone else heard this?

Sr. Director and below please. Honesty appreciated. All I’m hearing is negativity. I am so tired. Give me something to believe in again.

During the few years spent here there were nice and less nice moments, but overall, it was a pleasure to work at Nike. This is my first job and I am grateful for the opportunity to be able to come here without any previous experience. However, it is... — read more 

Looks like our store management has been given an order to cut costs on their own any way they can, since now they've started firing people for smallest infringements. Not laying people off, literally firing them with no severance or anything like... — read more 

I love this company and have enjoyed working here for many years. However, lately I feel very bad. I am surrounded by a lot of younger people, and regardless of experience and competencies, I feel like I am too old for this company. The feeling is... — read more 

Should we organize a Nike employee union. It appears Google has one now. I don’t even know what a union does other than piss off rich people. Let’s use NEU as our working acronym, because without an acronym this will never work at Nike. Thoughts? — read more 

So HJ convinced JD she was a VC, that is some magic for a one trick Sustainability exec. Still hard to believe they handed Phil's personal totem to a person with no background. I guess when you hold cards that no one wants aired, you can write any... — read more 

Can we rally? The attrition is starting. We're losing really talented people. WHY? Because Nike doesn't believe in internal promotions or growth. There is no career path. You are stuck in a stagnant role for years without the opportunity to get... — read more 

We all want to talk about this...and go!

I learned there’s no “taking a sick day” anymore. You fall in one of three availability categories: 1) Dead and have an excuse, 2) Have contracted COVID-19 and have an excuse, or 3) are just fine, because you’re WFH after all and there are presumably... — read more 

I know this forum is really mostly a Portland thing. I’m sure the problems that you all are dealing with are legitimate...but some of us in retail would definitely love to be in your position even given all of those issues. However the way... — read more 

Nike is vacating a lot of leased space in Beaverton, does that mean we may be gearing up for a remote working future? Anyone heard anything?

Your workload will keep increasing until you simply can't physically get it done - even with (nonpaid) overtime. And instead of being recognized for going above and beyond, you're then going to be reprimanded for not getting it all done. The best... — read more 

I have been working here for 11 years. It would be logical that with the experience and the routine I gained I can now have a more harmonious work/ life balance. Paradoxically, what is happening now is that I am finding it increasingly difficult to... — read more 

It seems there aren’t a lot of good places to go to when things go rotten at Nike. HR dept will eventually get ahold of most employee problems that arise and leave us all wondering if anything is actually registering. When the story eventually breaks... — read more 

I’ve never seen morale this low at any company I’ve worked for and I’ve been at nike (lower case) going on 12 years. The layoffs and demotions are continuing and everyone is in fear of losing their jobs. Nerves are razor edge and the paranoia is... — read more 

Let me ask you something, would you still consider joining Nike when you did if you knew at that time what you know now? I had no idea what kind of situation I was walking into. I had no idea how little this company cared about its employees. I can... — read more 

Now I would most like to be able to go back to Nike. For some private reasons, and also because I thought the grass was much greener somewhere else, I found some courage and left the company after almost a decade of work there. I quickly realized... — read more 

All the Executives and HR at Nike should be required to watch Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Then look in the mirror to check their morality and integrity. Are you team Voldemort or team Potter?

I can’t believe how many nike jobs are being posted on LinkedIn. Dark humor that they have had an effective hiring freeze since 2019, then lay so many off and now they are going gang busters hiring. All within a very questionable CDA construct... — read more 

If you're part of North America (or any other GEO/category) for that matter you know that it has been an absolute mess. People have no idea what their new roles entail and neither do their leadership. They're just figuring it out on the fly. A lot of... — read more

No layoff, but they're going to demote people. Does that help morale? No. It makes it worse. WTF? Who are you over privileged white a–holes that live a lifestyle beyond the average worker? Do you see yourself as that special and privileged? ... — read more 

Sad to see that Nike has transformed from a way of life in its heyday into a run-of-the-mill career and finally into an insecure job - all in the span of a decade or so. I know this will be hard for those who've been here just for a few years to... — read more 

I have seen few Sr. Director level people at HR leave the org. Not sure if that was their choice or directly related to CDA though. With that said, I believe that was expected given that HR has a rather high number of Sr. Directors...
