Business continuity? The “Nike intelligence center”? Emergency management? Literally millions are being WASTED in payroll and opex with people getting paid to twiddle their thumbs, while people who actually do work are getting decimated.
Fire everyone at Nike making more than 300k
Nike's profit will skyrocket, Guaranteed! Replace all decision makers with a chatbot. No more consultants or consulting companies. Distribute profits to workers and investors.
Why ITC....Again
Doesn't the RAT created so much redundancy there, seriously as usual not much impact to them and they will be celebrating yet again. Can't understand why, just because cheap?
STOP WORRYING. Nike Family, please stop by your local Nike store or the Company store and buy and support Nike sales. We are in WIN NOW mode.
Stop complaining and go buy more Nike product. Stop by the store and support NIKE. WE ARE IN WIN NOW MODE. BE ON THE OFFENSE AND BE A TEAM PLAYER.
Shutdown
They just shutdown manufacturing
1400?
A union would never let this happen
WIN NOW strategy?
typical corporate bull sh-t. Firing staff is winning strategy? What is next? kinder, gentler machine g-n handle? Just say the way it is. We are firing our staff, because we f3cked up but have to blame on someone else otherwise they are going to... — read more
EH should GO
It is about time for regime change. 18 months and all he does is fire people? And not one positive thing came out in 18 months that he has been here preaching positivity.
Just got the email…
…about JDI day. How do they expect us to celebrate when there is nothing worth celebrating over? Especially right after more layoffs.
These layoffs are a sign of bad leadership
First layoff I get it. Oops over-hired. But second and third. No. You can't consistently make mistakes and be competent as a leader.
Consultants
Seriously???? They latch on and never ever leave. We farm out more and more work and all they care about $$$$. What a way to destroy a culture. I honestly think we'll never
Things changed...
So be a yes person and have no opinion of your own? Kiss your bosses a$$, shake your head up and down and get in line? Definitely not a culture or company that I want to be a part of anymore, regardless of what today brings.

WFH email out for GT, starts tomorrow
Looks like it's sooner rather than later
Layoffs stretching on for weeks?
I've heard that rumor one too many times. After all this preparation, couldn't they just rip the bandage off in a day or two? Why leave us hanging for weeks? Haven't we had enough stress already?
Health Insurance after layoff
What happens to one’s health insurance after being laid off? Does anyone know?
1400 roles cut GLOBALLY, not just PHK tech.
The other post misread the email so clarifying here. They are consolidating roles outside of phk and itc INTO PHK and ITC. This does not mean no PHK cuts, it just means that they are not necessarily going to cut all or even the majority of the 1400... — read more
so it begins from today
1400 at PHK is massive, majority in tech
So quiet today
Are all the peeps hard at work today?
Converse strategy?
Will the sport strategy work for converse or will it end in converse sale

Come on Nike marketing. This tagline rocks! You’re welcome.

HON CEO of Lululemon
Woooooooooow. There is life after death
advice copying work files
With potential layoffs next week, any advice on how I can save work files? Heard IT can provide access if I download my files into a folder and make a note of it. Will downloading a ton of files right now alert IT security
Is this a Nike Tech board now?
Seems like all posts and posters are Nike tech or adjacent.
Employment verification data is inaccurate
Anyone else have a problem where The Work Number has inaccurate date about job titles and dates? How do you go about getting this corrected? TIA!
Severance
After last day of employment after riff when should severance payment arrive?
Red flags in interviews?
What do you consider "red flags" in an interview? For me, it's the "we're like a family" line. Every time a manager says that in an interview, I know what's coming. It usually means they'll expect you to stay late, cover for others, and never... — read more
Nike got more toxic????
I didn’t think it was possible but it seems as though the experience at Nike has only increased in toxicity. I cannot even imagine being there now. I left many years ago after 22 years.
Who claimed the layoffs would only hit GT?
How many will be shocked?
I actually hope the layoffs happen next week
Not because I want them, but because I want the waiting to be over. Even if I'm the first one out. The suspense has been unbearable, and no one can focus on anything anymore. Either way, good luck to everyone.
