Wrong people are being let go
Nike has created positions for full time employment for jobs that can be done in about 10 hours a week. This is why people are being let go. There is no way in hell, Concept Director is a full-time job and it pays more than $100,000 a year. Think... — read more

Nike makes soles but it is soulless
The people that were victims of layoffs were older and higher salaries employees. The company is moving to a different worker profile. Young, technical, cheap, and a transactional relationship in the gig economy. Nike doesn’t want lifers anymore. We... — read more
Why we can't prove ageism
From the June layoff the average age was 44. The median age was also 44. Breaking the ages down into 10 year brackets (20-30, 31-40, etc.) showed a perfect curve with the tallest point being the average/median. It's quite clear that there were quotas... — read more
