As a senior leader (now gone), I'll share the double-bind some leaders were stuck in. The CFE process was originally designed to set individual goals, in alignment with functional goals that all role into overall company/brand goals. When you meet... — read more 

As I reflect on eight years of experience at Nike in a variety of areas: My observations are that the Sr. Director/VP are hyper-focused on how they show-up to their peers and leaders at the S-and-beyond level. In many cases (not all) there is a clear... — read more 

sorry nike haters revenue is up and probably will rise even more. hopefully nike will continue to make strides and will become less bro culture and more pro culture. just do it baby!

Just curious... has anyone at any point ever mentioned you political view points even minor that go against the views of whereNike is playing nowadays? I have been conversing with a few peers whom were let go over the last 18 months. Most of which... — read more

Anybody else thinks that the recent lawsuit against Nike is just the start of what might become an avalanche? There are so many things Nike can be sued for, starting with ageism and on. I'm thinking if this works out for the women who filed it, the... — read more 

Nike promoted incorrectly. The people in senior director and junior vp roles here do not represent what Phil’s vision. They are nasty cutthroat in it for themselves types. I know a recently promoted director to senior director who has never built a... — read more

Things won’t improve until Nike swaps out much of the current Senior Director and junior VP set. This is wear the poison sits in the system.

I see all these articles that claim things are so much better and still improving at Nike, but I don't see it. Nothing has changed. We have same toxic atmosphere, same toxic people in management positions, same inequality and same harassment. Where... — read more 

Curious to know if any people let go last summer are finding their way back to Nike. Those laid off June 15 are now eligible. Yes, many will not want to go back, but some do.

Is there any hope for us hard working employees with longer tenure at Nike? I get calls from recruiters all the time, yet I can’t get promoted within my own company. All I see is people with MBA’s who came from outside the company recently get... — read more 

So, Nike is being very generous and giving ten percent of employees a pay raise. I guess that's the "deserving" upper management and their favorites. And what about the rest of us "undeserving?"... — read more 

Just a heads up for all of you

Why are we opening new stores? Amid layoffs and closings, how does it make sense to be investing money in more stores that will most likely end up on the chopping block themselves sooner rather than later? Seriously? I am the only one who thinks this... — read more 

Do you believe that you were discriminated against due to internal politics? Was it ageism, s-xism, or just a fast ascending supervisor that didn’t care for you?

I just left Nike after a decade of hard work and 'Highly Successful' annual reviews. "Who leaves Nike?" my friends ask, incredulous. My response: You leave Nike when it more closely resembles 'Hunger Games' than it does a company with integrity. Most... — read more 

Sheep Managed by bullies Lead by cowards I'm sure the Arlee Boys could really relate to a senior Nike leader arriving in his Bentley.

Now that we are finally seeing growth in revenues and sales, what are the chances that this will reflect on future layoffs? As in, we'll have fewer or none of them? Or will there be more of a shift online since that seems to be working out for Nike... — read more

Does anyone know what severance package is for someone with 4 years of service U band? Insurance extension?

Don't trust anyone, this includes management. Trust no one but yourself, CYA, and get everything in writing. In the end, you will be the one who suffers. And if you ever try to write an email after getting something verbally, paranoia will hit... — read more 

Intel is being investigated for age discrimination. Can't imagine Nike's numbers look much different. Possibly worse.

Anything?

Anybody feels that bullying is still out of control at Nike? Latest developments seem to have done very little to curb it, which honestly surprises me. It's as if the bullies just seem emboldened by it. Maybe because they feel like they got away with... — read more 

Got this from @T02iC0P-enim - what are your thoughts? The Hotline is useless. They only collect information and route you to a team at Nike who will treat you with disrespect unless you are management. HR/Er at NIKE is dishonest and disrespectful... — read more 

The petulant children in design leadership and senior levels appear to be immune from the purge. Seems that some are protected despite a long history of inappropriate behavior on and off campus. The org has a load of world-class bullies.

I’m letting you all know now- matter of respect is the same as hr/Er! Nothing will change. If you were part of the NA during the reorg- you like me- got screwed! BS promoted his friends.... classic Nike! He influenced the process.

Really good read worth your time. After the loss of four more top executives, the culture at Nike is under continued scrutiny. How the situation is handled could impact brand loyalty, trust and the bottom line... — read more

Having worked in three orgs at Nike since 2004 I by no means believe this is systemic. Oregonlive quoted that "...work has grownd to a halt." That's total BS. Perhaps over in the marketing org but I'm not seeing it (anecdotally). The biggest... — read more
