Nike su-ked the life out of me, and now I actually feel lighter, with my days finally my own again. Leave. It gets better.
Predictions on when (if) the stock gets back to $100
What are your thoughts on when, or even if, NKE gets back to $100. I need my ESPP to get back in the green so I can officially abandon Nike forever.
EMEA GT: The email from EMEA GM
Long story short, there is going to be significant changes, at least the mail suggested that, anyone's got any clue??
Quit complaining
Start quitting. I did and I'm so much happier. If you just complain and don't do anything about it, why would they care?
I think we’re safe for the next 3 years
with the men’s world cup next year, the women’s world cup the year after, and then the olympics in 2028
Another reorg, another round of confusion
You can’t settle into your role before everything shifts again. It’s exhausting trying to stay productive when nothing stays the same long enough to get comfortable.
No matter how good you are, you're not safe
I've been trying to explain this to a few coworkers who still haven't figured out that even if your reviews are always stellar and you've been here for years and consider yourself irreplaceable, you're not. I think some people could face a hard truth... — read more
Stale leadership
We fumbled hard when JD left. Instead of swinging big, we smashed the reset button. Now we’ve got an old CEO, an old CMO, a CFO with zero imagination, a supply chain guy who can’t count, and a CTO who still thinks she’s running ops at Amazon—bless... — read more
Apparel needs a deep purge
The entire leadership chain needs to go
I’m not guessing or worrying any longer
I’ve been putting all the energy and time I can into making sure I’ve got other options and some savings. I don’t expect things to get better, quite the opposite. More frequent, bigger layoffs are likely, because there’s no turning this ship around... — read more
When is the next round ?
Any bets on when the next round is going to be? After q4 earnings come in low? Turnaround falters and tariffs bite?
Promotion Pilot raise
I was submitted to the promotion pilot in GT and I was wondering how raises could potentially work? Assuming I'm going from 30-35 or 35-40, is there any guidance on how much I can expect for an increase?
Execs protecting execs
Anyone find that sr directors and VPs in their org were protected while everyone else suffered losses? How is this ever the right approach to a company re org? Hard watching the same lifers play musical chairs every year and then we all act surprised... — read more
EMEA marketplace ops
Will converse EMEA ops be impacted? I haven't heard
File for unemployment benefits?
What's the consensus? This is my first time being laid off in my career. Any guidance helps.
Nosey parker
I hope this doesn’t come across the wrong way — I’m genuinely curious to understand how conversations landed and the shifts this week. Which functions have been most affected, and if your title changed, what did that look like for you? I’ve heard a... — read more
EH needs to deliver or the shine will rubboff
EH is a charismatic leader who is adored by the Nike Staff. After all he had pretty bad boots to fill. Post this re org we need to see Nike rebound otherwise it’s just a constant annual thing which will make people just exhausted from their battle... — read more
CS to lead all global categories
APLA will be taken over by GC and NA and then CS will become a new role VP/GM Global Categories. Let me be the first to wish them success in this new role.
EH is the best.
Hahaha! Do you think he is transparent. Haha. He is just waiting for some luck haha
What are the new Sport categories??
Running, Basketball, Global Football, NSW, Energy, Core, Kids... what else?
Anyone else riding the wave of "have not heard a peep except for the all company emails"?
is that a bug or a feature
Nothing will change
The sad thing is, despite the reorg, nothing will change. We need a bigger shakeup at the top if we want to right this ship. A much bigger shakeup.
It’s definitely over?
All exit conversations have happened. Many people have an option to exit or get demoted, and those people were given 48 hours to choose. Thus more exits may happen, but initiated by conversations that happened on Tuesday. OP: @ah+1k48nnf8v
You Could Try, And Fail.
Maybe your best won't be good enough. But maybe you'll go all in and come out with everything. There's only one way to find out. Is it me, or do Nike's ads at these times of layoffs, low share price etc speak to themselves... Sorry for all let go... — read more
This wasn't as bad as I expected
I honestly thought more people would be affected. I'm just not sure if I should be happy about it or worry there's more left for next month or whenever they decide. Who knows with this place.
I’ve always dreamed of being in the 1%…
…just not this 1%!
Is it all done for this reorg?
Are all the exits done?
Why does this take so long?
A similar sized company with a Portland footprint just conducted layoffs and a reorg. It was completed in 1 day. Why does it take Nike 5 months to cut a few hundred jobs and role out a new org structure and strategy that’s been known at the VP level... — read more
RIP FOP!
Speaking of d-mb acronyms: What does “fields of play” mean anyway? Tennis and basketball are played on a court. Running happens on a trail or track. Even in soccer (football) the playing area is more commonly referred to as a ‘pitch.’ This is the... — read more
A few people are sooo proud to work here
Their social media feeds are filled with showing off Nike WHQ and the experience. Their biggest achievement in their life is Nike, their identify is nike. Isn’t it sad.
Who/Which Teams have been impacted?
Can anyone share any credible info about who's been impacted? Which teams are changing, etc.? Things are too quiet right now.
Any patterns so far?
I'm curious why folks were laid off this time? Is it tenure (expensive), performance (low ratings), or simply political (did not kiss a-s)?
Nike severance packages?
For those that were let go, I’m sincerely sorry. If you feel so inclined, would you be willing to share what your level, tenure and severance package were?
EMEA/ ELC reorg
Does anyone have more information about today’s reorg announcement at EMEA/ ELC?
I'm not even stressing anymore
Let’s be honest, who here wouldn’t be better off working somewhere, anywhere else? The job market is scary right now, but that’s what severance is for. Being unemployed and looking isn’t as scary when you have enough money to get you through several... — read more
For how long will the invites keep going out?
I’m a nervous wreck. I need this job right now, as I’m sure the vast majority of us do.
Another day
Going to try my best to work today. Made it to noon yesterday before the uncertainty took over smh! Just want this to be over.
