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

A peak into the future of this company
I went to a Ross store earlier today and I saw a bunch of Nike apparel including NBA merch especially in the activewear section where there was more Nike then any other brand. Needless to say but if lots of product is being sent to discounters that's... — read more
If one was to leave the sporting goods industry...
Where would he or she go???
Nike used to be the best company to work for in the entire world (probably). WHAT CHANGED? Thoughts?
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?
Tech to cut 40% to 50%
Pull up your britches b–ches. Rumor mills says . . . It ain’t gonna be pretty.
PTO PAYOUT
Can anyone confirm if PRO hours are not included with NIKE severance package? I’m hearing rumors they are declining to payout.
Ode To Swoosh
Back in the day, the brand was fun. We all wanted to win and be number one. Serve athletes first and alls ok. But financial greed soon led the way. We’re a family, we are a team. But no one cares for you, it’s just a dream. Work... — read more

2 weeks ago it was ELT, are E/U/L Bands this week? My anxiety levels are through the roof.
Daycare closure saving jobs essential to the business
Wow people’. You have no clue. I worked in finance and saw the huge costs Nike paid. You really think the teacher/child ratios were consistent with the market? Nope. The Nike teachers were amazing but thats because they had way more staff than could... — read more
So tired of this
Remember when working here used to be fun? Remember when just coming into work didn't require deep breaths and repetitions of "it's going to be okay" mantra? When managers knew their jobs and actually had your back if there was ever a problem? When... — read more
No cuts in Nike EMEA!
In the US corporate fat cats get trillion dollar bailouts with no strings attached! They use tax payers' money to line their own and shareholders' pockets In "socialist" Europe companies only get government bailouts if they don't fire anybody. BTW... — read more
John Donahoe Receives a Covid-19 Bonus, WTF?
Just in case you’re wondering how Corporate America works, take a gander. Donahoe was essentially brought in to orchestrate this lay-off. For comparison of just how grossly outrageous his compensation pkg is, note that his total 2018 compensation in... — read more
Has all 500 people been notified?
With the week filled with layoffs behind us, I'm wondering (and hoping) if all the affected employees have already been notify? It's really hard to find any kind of an official number on all of this, so I guess it's on us to put the pieces together... — read more
Pushback on daycare outsourcing leads to closure?
I wonder if how some employees reacted to Nike’s plan to last year to outsource the daycare to Endeavour caused the sudden closure now that the they had the chance to exit via the reorg. While the outsource solution wasn’t ideal it certainly would... — read more
Don't be surprised with the closure of Child Care Centre...

Was it Shoe Dog or Lord of the Flies...or
Its seems that those NDAs are going to be very important, as many folks feel that Nike has betrayed them in some way. Will disclosures damage the Brand, if they identify something other than the Enlightened Wokeness of KAPISM. NIKE always... — read more

How do they do it? Call? Conference with HR?
Do you know how does the actual act of communicating that you've been laid off happen? What do they tell you? How long does it take? Thank you?
Why did the Chief Diversity Officer decide to resign now, is this related to the Portland protests
Why now, and is this related to the Portland protests against Market Capitalism.
News Flash
As those of us who have been here through multiple layoffs and re-orgs know It’s best to save your time trying to rationalize anything Nike ELT is going to be doing over the next 6 to 18 months. In the meantime you’ll probably see two or three new... — read more
Nike Finance
Anyone have any insight or thoughts about how the broader Finance org will be impacted? Rough times during the 17' layoffs....not looking forward to doing this dance again.
Anything on Nike Retail employees
Is there anything in the works for layoffs for NFS/NSO employees?
CAO
In past layoffs, the CAO was considered “safe”. Due to the divesting of categories in this layoff, I am wondering whether there will be layoffs in the CAO, as the need for category related support will no longer be necessary.
100 VPs! How many Sr. Directors and Directors will follow?
We have learned that nearly 100 VPs across the globe got laid off recently. We also heard that the next round of lay offs will start with Sr. Directors and Directors; I am simply trying to see if anyone got a sense of how will be laid off
Selection Criteria for Layoffs
Does anyone know what selection criteria is being used to evaluate who keeps their job and who doesn’t? Is the reorg shakeup a smokescreen to eliminate people with personnel issues reported to HR? Or even overpaid VP’s whose cost outweighed their... — read more
Severance for V through U?
Anyone have history or knowledge into whether V through U has a prayer at severance/benefits package? No doubt VPs and even E/S will walk away with something to help weather the current storm. Particularly curious about health benefits, given the... — read more
How do categories fit in?
We’ve seen how the VP structure plays out, but does that mean categories are completely gone or will they be executed by the lower bands? Will teams only break out as performance and style? As a sports brand, this men’s/women’s/kids structure tells... — read more
McKinsey Retirement Village
