Record profits? Cut people, more for the top. Rough quarter? Cut people, more for the top. The math never changes. We just end up on the wrong side of it every time.

It looks like it will be in April. We'll also see what the announced third-quarter results look like, which will say a lot about the scale. I think the Senior LT already knows exactly when and how much layoffs will occur. I hope they reform the FTS... — read more 

The reason we’re in this mess is that tech teams lack guidance. I hope they bring back Enterprise Architecture with a vengeance. I see it everyday, rank and file engineers either don’t have time or the vision to design the next generation of... — read more 

There’s this thing called “At Will Employment”. It’s an HR policy that is downplayed or not even mentioned. It’s standard across companies, especially for non-executives, like everyone on this site. I recommend all Nike FTEs to get familiar with... — read more 

Keep showing the love for Nike

I wish they gave us more notice before this layoff, maybe 6 months. That would give us time to get our affairs in order and enough time to prove our worth to our respective VPs.

VA has zero understanding of technology or operations. Most of what he says are just polished filler phrases he’s relied on for years, rather than real substance. Someone please end this misery.

Nike Leadership (2020 → 2024) from Publicly Available Reporting • Women (Leadership): +7.6% • Men (Leadership): −5.5% • U.S. Racial/Ethnic Minority (Leadership): +17.2% • White (Leadership): −7.0%

Not just to the culture, but to having a direction that makes sense. All these reorgs and layoffs feel like they're just propping up the stock price. Because I sure can't see any other purpose.

This organization looks very strange, I mean the domain merger and the fact that VPs report to VP. On top of that, there are strange creations like Tech Mod, a lot of in-house solutions and a lot of lazy engineering dinosaurs in various positions... — read more 

AC actually understood the product and knew how to protect it. I vividly remember him jumping in on earnings calls to take product-related questions over MP and TE. Now we literally hand entire NFL sideline teams Panda Dunks to wear en mass on... — read more 

A new milestone! last time was oct 18, 2017. Going back to the old Nike that was a growth company.

did SEC go through a restructure this week, thought I saw that somewhere here, and that SEC biz is next week is that true and if so were a lot of people let go? trying to gauge size of this thing for upcoming weeks, seems many are freaked out, also... — read more 

Laid Off by my company in My 60s, I Can't Afford to Retire - Business Insider https://share.google/hRpFuSSI6CnVwc7HP

Next week? Next two weeks? Right after the Q report?

Let help each other navigate through these troubled times instead of spreading rumors or hate. If you can please share severance facts anonymously. 1) Does Nike accelerate vesting for all unvested RSUs ? How about options ? 2) Does Nike provide... — read more 

How are some teams luxury traveling overseas for “market travel” nextweek? Seems tone deaf to me. guess they gotta spend they budget before cuts?

for what?

I was bored and curious so thought I’d see how active other company employees are on this site. I managed to get through about 95% of the other company boards and I can tell you that Nike is far and away the most active company on the LayOffs. Not... — read more 

I've been with Nike for over ten years. Nothing but a downward spiral of varying speed. I've yet to see a real opening for progression, or a payoff for hard work. I gave up a while ago. I'm just waiting for my number to come up. I'm fully aware of... — read more 

Anyone else been laid off from Nike over the past year or so and only being contacted by temp recruiters for Nike? It is literally driving me nuts.

Why does only technology bear brunt of layoffs everytime? In the finance and business, we have directors without any reports or 1-2 reports, directors reporting to directors but those are overlooked and everytime GT suffers from most layoffs? I... — read more 

I'm hearing all Tech will wfh next week, I'm hearing about a 'tsunami of layoffs', I'm hearing of mass debandings, I'm hearing about layoff percentages I don't even want to repeat. But it's all rumors. What do you KNOW FOR A FACT?

Tsunami of Layoffs w.r.t Principal Engineers, Directors, Senior Managers, Managers is on the way

Not seeing any WARN notice this time, any reason why ??

I've already heard about SEC, Converse, Distribution Centers.

At least 30 people, up to the director level. Not a big number but converse doesn’t have any people anyway.

I've been through a few layoff cycles and I don't remember ever once an employee on a H1B visa or any other work visa getting let go. H1B visa holders are considered temporary workers. Why are full time employees let go before temporary employees? ... — read more 

You can be the best at your job and get passed over because you didn't go to lunch with the right people. I've watched clowns move up while talented people rot in place. It’s beyond demoralizing.

How low can it go? Why is Nike so unpopular? What needs to change for it to go up again?

Or is it just that program?
