I knew they were doing the Global Tech layoffs in EMEA last week, but a friend of mine just got let go here on campus- Legal Privacy office. Any other groups impacted last week?
Team being forced to RTO
Does anyone know how they would check if you are in office? Can I just swipe my badge and leave?
Stock Price
At what point are heads going to start rolling? It feels like it will never get any better.
RTO 5/0 announcement @Global NTM
Happening Wednesday. Su-ks for sure.
HR Reorg
Is no one going to bring this up? I thought it was only Tech and HR on here? What’s the word in HR after all the change? Promotions? Layoffs? New roles? Is this good or status quo given the larger restructuring
Comms Layoffs
Riffs afoot. Ditch the human element, instead let AI write Nike comms. MG wasted no time.
GT: EHQ DA&I is wiped off
Not sure about GT but DA&I is completely wiped off EHQ today. Sad but true
Stock price
Under 63 today. Everytime the stock gets a little love and hits around the 72 mark, it falls back down to below earth. Market is at an all time high while nike is reaching 5 year lows. Unbelievably horrible performing stock. When will this change?... — read more
Layoffs in EMEA
3rd of November will start Layoffs in EHQ and PTC and week after in ELC. In the meantime, ITC grow rapidly - hundreds of new positions. I have the impression that the company is moving to India. I wonder if it's because Sr LT in GT come from India…
APLA and CS
Does anyone have any more information on this? The last I heard was the following; APLA will transition to APAC, Latin America will join North America and CS will transition to a new role called VP, Global Geo Ops, which will be all about tying... — read more
November 14
Was anyone laid off in early September given a termination date of November 14?
In-Role promotion hype is OVER finally
What you guys think ?
DM Back with the Side Hustle
Really glad to see DM is back with her side hustle in the Nike classifieds slack channel! Must be exhausting posting all that junk on the clock.
Question to tech crowd
What’s the opinion on this words from MD? “ Over the past two years, we have built one of the most efficient, data-driven cloud environments in our history, cutting costs, boosting performance, and shrinking our carbon footprint at the same time... — read more
EMEA layoffs happening today
I heard that everybody but GT (why not???) is having layoffs today in EMEA. Is that right? How many have been impacted?
One should neither consider their job safe nor tie their career to Nike
The days when that made any sense are long gone. Layoffs keep happening, smaller and more targeted, which means it can hit anyone at any time. The chances of Nike returning to its mythical glory, when it was fun to work here and the company was... — read more
Well-Being Week
Usually we have the date for the next well-being week announced by now. Have a feeling the party might be over this year.
MD spearheading project with Amazon
The almighty leader of global tech is spearheading an Amazon Alexa project that is a major waste of time and money.
Sports Company?
It feels more like influencers company at this point. We spend so much marketing dollars on something that doesnt benefit the brand in the long term
Being Laid Off
I was laid off within the last 2 years. My experience thus far, has been one of immense relief. If you're lucky to have a good cultural pocket at Nike, I envy you. I was unfortunate enough to be in a toxic one for several years, and it weighed on me... — read more
Nike employment terminated
Recently got my employment terminated at Nike. I was working as a contractor ETW at Nike. My vendor called me and told me that my contract got terminated due to HR policy violations. This is because as I am a remote employee I went to Nike office... — read more
Realistically how many more years?
until Nike returns to growth and business feels good again? Not sure how much longer I can take this stress.
No one at Nike inspires anything anymore
The so-called leaders play politics and mumble through meetings and promote people who don’t even understand the work. Things are getting worse every day and nobody seems to care. Sometimes I feel like I'm watching a slow collapse of a once great... — read more
APLA on the rocks
What is the latest with APLA and when will it disband? I'm really concerned about CS and the role they will hold when this change takes effect? Asking for a friend. Thanks
Did you get an employee engagement survey this week?
if you did get it, is it one of those "are you happy with your job" type of thing? I never respond to these since I get paranoid of being retaliated
New guy in global tech
I met a new SD at lunch this week who recently joined. The guy pulls no punches. Super smart I hope he won’t lose patience with this place. He isn’t afraid to say what all the engineers in the room are thinking that most SDs and VPs are too... — read more
When will the AI circlej--kend?
I'm actually pretty shocked at how pervasive AI has become in every aspect of the company. From engineering to design to mail to people making their own agents, etc. It seems like we're just throwing money at the bubble and it hasn't yet resulted in... — read more
ATC Cost Center
How in the world is ATC still open? It is nothing but a financial burden in a time when we are trying to cut money from everything. How much money could be saved by shutting this useless money put down. Nothing of use has come from this place... — read more
While back Nike was floating idea of turning Nike campus to Universal Studio
or Disneyland like experience. Is that idea still being floated? or project on hold or moving forward? I am not in campus so I don't know! Appreciated if you can give me your update Being ex Nike man, I think that if someone wants to send me to... — read more
I know JD used to be in Nike's board before he became CEO
and Tim Cook is also on Nike board for long time. Is there correlation between Tim Cook and Nike's braindeadness in last few years? TC is basically ki-ling Apple with his bureaucratic approach. Anyone who says that Nike is not a zombie is brown... — read more
Better earnings coming but it’s the outlook that should keep you up.
The stock will probably be around $50 by the end of the year. We’re clearly in an AI bubble, and the AI-driven stocks are telling a very different story from reality. Our team isn’t ready to handle what’s coming. We’re stuck in an economic trap. If... — read more
please stop pressuring the remote pilot guys to waste office space
It's disrespectful to both the remote workers and those of us who need the desk space. Remote is remote, we allocate and budget the space for a reason ffs.
WHQ renamed to PHK
What does this achieve?
Skims has pubes?
What a time to be alive
High Salary Offer - Accept or Not
Have a offer. How risky is to accept? They are paying way beyond their standard offering for the role. In Nike , placed fine but loosing my relevance and experience and grossly underutilized(Very high workload but low expertise/support role)
Great post worth re-posting!
Quoting @fx+1k79fcw84 Centralized control is the result of inexperienced leadership, lack of accountability, resources that aren’t qualified, and resources unable to learn and grow because of the revolving door of people coming and going, along with... — read more
I went to Nike Outlet near Palm Springs, CA.....
That is the BIG outlet among Nike outlets. And I am surprised to say the least. There were Jordans, Dunks and AF 1 by tons. I thought that I died and went to heaven but then I realized that would have been true 10 years ago I saw AJ 1, AJ3, AJ4... — read more
