What do you think? Looks like undeserving people got promoted to VPs. I've found DR in particular to be hollow and self serving. Has provided no direction and is mostly an empty vessel. Thoughts?

It's frustrating when people claim layoffs are about performance. My whole department, from the VP down, got cut in the last round. We had strong reviews and bonuses to show for it. Sometimes it's just pure cost cutting with zero regard for who... — read more 

Do we still have a strategy function? What do they do? Just making decks again, or driving value? If the latter, when does the value part happen? If no value… why… you know… do we have them? Overpriced MBA’s gotta go somewhere. Why here?

Jumped on an sec update call so my name would be noticed and solved Wordle in 3 tries! Bumped my used couch and lowered the price on alt-classified. Found a smoking deal on a few used Star Wars figures! Took a long walk through the buildings... — read more 

I'm going to tell IT I want them to uninstall Outlook from my laptop because for some reason I can't uninstall Outlook myself. I stopped reading or responding to emails last fall. There is no value in the emails I receive, and it's a waste of my... — read more 

It's like everyone forgets once the layoffs are done. There's only so much the rest of us can absorb, and some things just can't be picked up at all. There's never any follow-up, no real attempt to readjust after the cuts, and zero attention to the... — read more 

Bad leadership. Too many leaders do not understand the brand or the mission. They do not care deeply about sport or sneakers. They care about titles and power. They focus on themselves, not the company. We promoted the wrong people. Then they... — read more 

I know all titles at Nike are valued than any other company. Like Directors are more like managers and VPs are like directors but what are Principals?? Loooool what is that?? A way to tell employees you are promoted but without any value?? What a... — read more 

The O9 system is a complete piece of sh-t. The high-and-mighty leaders spent several million dollars on this system every year. thinking it would replace Excel and reduce the workload for planners. In reality, every planner now has double the... — read more 

In a few years, someone is absolutely going to write a long-form takedown on how Nike fumbled its Caitlin Clark moment. Generational talent. Cultural tidal wave. Wall-to-wall attention. And still fumbled This has future MBA case study written all... — read more 

The subject says it all

Sec has had hundreds of people working for years and is a sh-t show. Don’t lay off the Nike IC’s. Fire the leadership and the vendor. Nike IC’s have the knowledge and drive and care about Nike. Posting that system performance is good and everyone... — read more 

The feds now owe nike more than 3 billion dollars, wanna bet where this money could flow? I will take the first shots: 500mil goes to shirts with pu--c hair in skims 300mil goes to white house bribes 200mil goes to whatever shiny useless tech... — read more 

We are laying people off weekly, expecting a huge tech layoff in Q4 but we can afford to have large celebrations offsite. Wake up everyone this isn’t the old Nike anymore.

When I joined Nike a few years ago, what stood out to me most was not the size of the brand or the big ambitions. It was the internal culture. Advancement often seemed less about performance or integrity and more about alignment with leadership... — read more 

Was told we’re “off cycle” for the routine layoffs. Delightful.

It's so disheartening to see what a pathetic state we are in, where are we going, what exactly do we want to do? There are no leaders , there are no lead by example, everyone doing bare minimum thinking they are giving their best, no enthusiasm, no... — read more 

Is one of the reasons morale is so low having to do with no trust in leadership? Above a certain level? I’ve only been here for a few years, but it seems we have a disproportionate amount of leaders ousted under suspicious circumstances. Is it... — read more 

I have lost track of the number of times I have witnessed misconduct from hr/people solutions. Their sole purpose is to protect management/c-suite at all costs. Don't waste your time with them. Ignore the bad behavior until you can't take it anymore... — read more 

I feel like I work with incompetent people. Some I seriously question how they keep their jobs. Am I alone here? Am I just unlucky? I get technical gaps but this is basic common sense and elementary math.

Just look at the cop personal finance channel to remind yourself a lot of people here have no common sense and really are just unable to think critically

Transparency != "We will tell you more in 'current_date'+30". Maybe find a new buzz word, as this is anything but transparent.

Recently got affected by converse layoffs, I got an offboarding email, and I added details, then its crickets! Any one in the same boat? What are the next steps.

It’s all about the stock price. We’re just cattle. Layoffs will be a yearly recurring thing.

Only about one more month until CS moves to china. I work in APLA and writing is on the wall that we will be dissolved as a geo as of fy 2027. CS HAS BEEN the steady ship we've needed and has made apla an incredible place to work, I'm very excited... — read more 

Sorry if this is old news. Have never seen it linked or discussed. Has anyone actually read the case files on this. Seems to name a ton of executives, most of the c-suite under JD. Probably nothing to see here. Our leaders have the utmost... — read more 

Do they not care that morale has hit rock bottom? That nobody can focus on their work for fear of they might lose their job at any moment? How is this considered a good business strategy?

Lots of opinions y’all. And grief towards either the past or current state. Can’t change the past and no darn sense complaining about today. What are the top five things to get us back on the right track?

Until Nike has product that isn’t ugly I think we should layoff a lot of the brand marketing function. Thoughts?

The only way to cut down on bureaucracy and be cost responsible at the same time is to actually thin the leadership layers. Stop approving vp-reports-to-vp nonsense, systematically thin the senior director level and give their authority back to... — read more 

Are men at Nike treated equal to women? How does it affect layoff decisions? With less men at Nike than women, should there be a Men of Nike group now?

So EH message was no bureaucracy…but we need to save money and be smart about waste. Yet everyone has a free pass to go fast? Good luck with that at this company. Just don’t give us less than 100% bonus because you can’t control SG&A based on your... — read more 

Curious on how people would grade EH so far in his stint as CEO. I feel like it’s pretty mixed, coming in everyone was super excited, and lately been feeling those sentiments have waned a little.

For active layoffs happening now, it’s probably too late. For others, how do you survive at a company like Nike for more than a decade? What tips or tricks do you have?

What will happen to apla after CS departs? I work there and I'm worried. CC is only interim and rumor has it she's made it very clear she doesn't want a geo leadership role. Can anyone offer any insight?

No news of layoffs in EHQ , so just wondering what is happening in other places?

I just learned that my contract won't be renewed. I'm really bummed...I haven't even been at Nike that long. It is truly a great place to be...hopefully I can pivot or come back. I can tell that even the FTEs in my group are nervous that they are... — read more
