It's SEC's turn today.
Here’s some staggering layoff math for you…
In 2025 Nike’s seven highest paid executives were paid a combined $101,255,247. If you assume the average Nike corporate employee in Beaverton makes $115,000/year, that means in 2025 those seven executives made the same amount of money as 880... — read more
Layoff Survey

Advice for someone experiencing being laid off for the 1st time
Hi everyone, I was impacted in this round of layoffs. I'll spare everyone the s-b story but I was with the company for 15 years, which is almost my entire professional career, and it's my first time in this situation. I'd appreciate any advice How... — read more
Win now or layoff now strategy?

SELL CONVERSE AND GIVE PROCEEDS TO
EMPLOYEES THAT WERE LAID OFF!! WHAT IS YOUR LOGIC IN KI-LING CONVERSE SLOWLY UNDER YOU
RTO for GT official
Not a whine post, just keeping it informational. I just had an org activation touch base where it was communicated that everyone in GT will be expected to work in either PHK or ITC at the current Nike guidance of 4 days per week.
Reserved Parking
I think it’s time we revisit who owns reserved parking spaces - too many open and not enough general spots
AJ1 OG Banned coming to Nike.com
Literally WHY? For the love of God, have we not learned a single lesson about protecting franchises? Pull the launch. Allocate to sneakerhead shops only. Let’s gain some brand equity back.
Nike is on Mass hire in India

Let's go back to on Nike catalog and bring back all the classic shoes and reintroduce them and put them on the pot and create all different kind of crazy color way and bring in rap artists and celebritis that has nothing to do with athletics and do a... — read more
Return to office
I am one that was lucky enough to be in the “remote pilot”. I saw the layoff targeted remote roles away from PHK to some degree. I was told that an RTO is coming up but the date isn’t set. I assume this is to get people to leave prior to possible... — read more
What's the age average this time?
For some reason, this time I've seen fewer older employees affected than usual. Am I wrong?
Next Layoff Date
Bets on the next layoff: Fall 2026 Holiday 2026 Spring 2027 Summer 2027 My guess is Spring 2027.
The truth nobody speaks of…
They got rid of the people who make or save most of the money. Why? Because when it breaks they can say “see how bad it was and we exposed it…good thing we were here to fix it” as a way to continue to self promote and buy more tenure and money. It’s... — read more
EH is highly regarded
EH will be fired within a year. He came in with more good will than anyone. Employees were ripe for change, and even serious sacrifices. He has squandered that. His tenure will only be known for devastating cuts, backward thinking, and the worst... — read more
Wow
So after hundreds of people on here upvoted the damage ac has done and continues to do, he is still here along with all the same vp’s? Assuming JM is still here also. For gods sake….
Did they target the wrong levels- very few senior manager, principal, director, sr director impacted
Most of the impact was at levels 40 and below. What exactly was the intent of the layoffs- reduce management layers, reduce friction between the teams by consolidating under same management, reduce the operating costs by targeting the high cost... — read more
ATC
Is the ATC staying open or shutting down? Are any other centers closing?
NIKE is on year one of turn around plan
that started with JD about 3 years ago. EH is just overrated Nike bureaucrat that people that he had talent.
May be unpopular, but good riddance 🫡
Going against the conventional flow o with this post: (a.) thankfully, I wasn’t impacted (b.) not surprised to see this large of a cut—we all knew there would be a round 2, esp once MD was let go 6mo ago (c.) tbh most of those impacted NEEDED TO GO... — read more
Laid off and relieved
I was hoping for this outcome. I don't have another job lined up, like most of us don't. I'm going to take a break, decompress, and then figure out what's next. Good luck to everyone, especially the real pros and the good people I had the pleasure of... — read more
Not a single VP
How can you lay off 1400 people and not lay off a single VP in the process. I think that exposes the true purpose of this layoff more than anything else.
Layoffs done in some orgs. Poor taste using "Tech Activation Touch Base" again.
First off, I'm sorry to those let go. I hope they're able to find something better and more secure. Some orgs have been told layoffs are done. I've seen "Tech Activation Touch Base" still being used for both for reorg meetings. Poor taste reusing... — read more
End of Employment Box Link

Nike is already dead
I unfortunately was not laid off. Honestly, I would’ve loved to have had 4 to 8 months of severance to get out of this he-l hole. Unfortunately, I’m stuck behind in a company that’s already dead and doesn’t know it. The company that Phil Knight... — read more

For those who stayed. What did you do different?

Got impacted! H1Bs beware
I had my meeting this morning, lot of my useless team and my management stays! Gonna monitor new H1B applications by Nike at Beaverton, will be the whistle blower if they fire us and hire H1Bs
Sell Now!
Tech has no idea what they are breaking with the people they randomly selected to depart. This will set the company back another year. Sell now while you can before you lose more! About to be Under Armor all over again stock wise!
How can you trust?
One Senior Director was asked to deliver the bad news. He did it. The day after, he was laid off. The question is: How can you trust?
Take control back…
This is a textbook execution of work turnover. You eliminate all of the talent. You leave a handful of your most vulnerable sheeple to say yes without friction. You proceed to turn over the work to the incoming team. Just another American company... — read more
Laid off six months in
I'm still trying to figure out what I did wrong.
This communication approach is completely unacceptable
There is no reason this couldn’t have been handled with a single, clear email sent in the morning to everyone impacted. Something every competent organization manages to do without creating chaos. Instead, we’re expected to sit around all day... — read more
Another day of bloodshed in GT
Game is gutted once more. 15 minute meeting with your leader and a script read by HR could have been done in bulk. But no. We want to drag this out.
