If you're on the fence, leave
Leaving was the hardest decision I’ve ever made, but it ended up being the right one. The first few months were rough, with anxiety, second guessing, and sleepless nights, but once the dust settled, I realized how much lighter life felt. For anyone... — read more
Isn’t EH the best?
I have been telling that he is not a great CEO, we need someone with a backbone to make big changes.
SuperStars? Where are they?
Historically, Nike had impeccable timing of using relevant SuperStar of the moment and help them lead to next level. I will go back as far as John McEnroe, Jordan, Barkley, Carl Lewis, Mary Slaney, Joan Benoit Samuelson, Mark Allen, Bo, Lebron, Kobe... — read more
A reflection from the GT EMEA trenches
Reading in one of the posts that there are “reservations” about the helpfulness or productivity of GT EMEA teams hits hard, especially now, in the midst of layoffs that are already testing our collective resilience. Having overseen cross-geo value... — read more
Rumor time: End of wellness week
Farewell wellness week. Welcome unwellness week. No idea if someone will actually TELL the wage slaves or not but word is it's dead.
Nike is a $50 stock
EH can evangelize “we’re all about sport” all day long. Duh. Wall St street and former shareholders like me are over it. Tired of the excuses. Just Innovate! Without it Nike is uncool in this era.
Layoff rumors
When's the next round coming? Have we heard anything yet?
It has been more than a year since EH took over
some might say that he has not been back enough time to make any changes and show results. Whereas some might say he is not working out. I would like to know what most of you think of his performance and about Nike's future? Comment is greatly... — read more
Why Even Post Jobs If They’re Already Filled Internally?
I’ve been working for Nike on and off for about five years now as an ETW. Ironically, with all the recent layoffs, this has actually been the closest thing to career stability I’ve had, especially since the industry I came from is falling apart and... — read more
I just saw SKIMS line
and not impressed. Seems like all they are trying to do is emulate Lululemon. That game is well played out and perfected by Lulu. As usual with Nike these days "it is dollar short and day late"
A deal has been made
At the 11th hour to keep HON onboard . They will now lead geographies and marketplace again with CW shifting to a new role tbc
GT EMEA Layoffs
Regardless of how you think about whether we should have the GT EMEA group or they’re helpful, productive, etc, etc. this isn’t about it. Yesterday I was taking to a teammate in there, and they told me the GM sent a video where he says they’re... — read more
APLA rumors
Are they true and should I be worried if I work in APLA? WILL CS be ok? Thanks
Nike in a nutshell
For years Nike has been in the habit of re-orging to a new formation, then clamping down on hiring so the vision is never fully resourced or executed. When the results don’t meet expectations, they respond with another re-org, leaving teams in a... — read more
Some orgs might get green light to hire
But finance is already saying "math is not going to add up". I hope the sr leaders are cautious about hiring. Layoff should not be the new normal.
GeO revamp
This week the 2 year long project of the GeO revaMP will finally be completed with CS shifting roles and APLA being absorbed into Amercias and APAC. CS will shift to Vp of Nike Direct and SG will be taking a new role outside of NIKE TBA.
Oregonian article
The Oregonian is not very Nike-friendly in general. But it calls the attention how in recent layoffs articles they have not mentioned Nike ... — read more
SKIMS. So gross. Thanks for taking women backward Nike.
Ridiculous and terrible.
The H1B chaos
The whole world is talking about H1B chaos caused by 'you know who' and here we are , pin drop silence.. is that an indication that Nike have laid off so many of the H1B that there is no need of any discussion about it.. anymore!!!
Earnings predictions
Will the stock go up? What do you think of the earnings?
HR
HR Reorg.. what a joke! Rotating favorites is the new strategy. What will their resumes say.. I laid off people when we had the category offense, I laid off people in the consumer offense, I laid off the laid off people… ha ha ha. The CHRO is a... — read more
Nike SKIMs
Here comes Kim K to save the brand! Huge shoutout to Ray J. None of this would have been possible without your hard work. IYKYK. Btw… think back to a year ago… who had a kardashian collab before Caitlin on their bingo card??
Severance benefits beyond cash payment
Hi, does Nike provide any resume or other outplacement support?
Massive self-layoff incoming
https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/trump-mulls-adding-new-100000-fee-h-1b-visas-bloomberg-news-reports-2025-09-19/ Our contracting firms use H1b to save 25%. This new fee destroys Nike’s contracting model. Leadership will probably try... — read more
Not a healthy company
You can tell a healthy company by the way it grows. A sick one just keeps restructuring to squeeze a few more bucks out while everyone burns out. Sound familiar? Working here is like living in a company that’s eating itself alive instead of actually... — read more
PM all-hands thread
Wow, what a whirlwind of thoughts after that on-stage leadership performance! But EH? An absolute breath of fresh air!
ETW
has anyone been laid off and come back as an ETW? Did you manage to get a FTE role after coming back as an ETW?
How has NIKE avoided the Oregon WARN list?
We've been through a lot this year. Lots of pockets and smaller waves. It's paid off, they've managed to keep it under wraps this year. Known Layoffs in 2025: 300 SEC (May 15) 480 Global Tech (June 10) 150 WHQ - IDSA, NAO, Ops, Marketing, DSM... — read more
Rant: LinkedIn Open to Work/Laid off posts from Nike people
Disclaimer: The individuals I am talking about is not the SD/VP/SVP... of Nike It's just heartbreaking to see laid-off/open to work posts from such talented individuals of Nike, I am so sorry and sad that we are going through this !!
When was the last time someone was laid off based on performance?
I honestly can’t remember. It’s always been about cost, nothing else. We’ve been shedding talent like crazy for years, and no amount of reorganization will ever redeem that.
I know someone who doesn’t want Nike to win…
…the owners of TheLayoff.com! At this point we must’ve tripled their ads revenue. I was checking another company here (you know, just curious…), and I’ve got so impressed that I checked others. No other company has the level of engagement Nike has... — read more
Cool! Congrats on your dream job/promotion. The rest of the folks who have been laid off can find solace in your achievements.
I'm thrilled to finally share the exciting news that I've been promoted to my dream role as the VP of Merchandising for Asia Pacific and Latin America at Nike! It's been a busy few months setting up this amazing team for success, but I'm proud to... — read more
The org is simplified?
I want to be positive and optimistic (not a good trait on this website) about the changes and the move to the sport offence, but come on! Did you see that org chart? (Just go to the support documents in Workday) Over a hundred VPs in the first level... — read more
Why do the worst leaders always survive reorgs?
Can someone tell me how the he-l we keep going through re-org after re-org, yet somehow the absolute worst fu--ing leaders are the ones who survive every single time? It’s like the less you give a damn about the brand, the company, or your team, and... — read more
INP in Workday
What does INP stand for against someone's name in Workday?
CS TO LEAD xfn offense
Super excited to report that CS will lead the cross functional offense. APLA will cease operations shortly and be folded into other geos. Those with APLA jobs now will NOT be laid off they will be transferred to other geos. Cheers all
