They told me my role is no longer needed, with my last day in mid October. Two of us are affected, I do not think this is systemic or a part of a larger plan - it's just that they are tweaking things how the group (~20 folks) works - two of us are... — read more 

If your paycheck is bigger than most, brace yourself. Management doesn’t care about loyalty. They’ll cut the highest-paid first without blinking. It’s frustrating, unfair, and exhausting. Keep your resume ready and don’t kid yourself thinking it... — read more 

I'm not among those who hate Nike. I've had some good and some bad years here, like any with any job. I do recognize that this is not the same company it was a decade ago, and I wouldn't mind continuing my career somewhere else. As long as severance... — read more 

Funny how a post on thelayoff.com calling out Nike’s women focused marketing for not working gets taken down by the moderators, like just questioning it is s-xist. Crazy world.

I was part of the RIF in May 2025 and have been watching from the sidelines ever since. I’m still interested in how the SEC program is faring now that so many people have left. Accenture was meant to pick up most of the workload after the cuts. Have... — read more 

The pending reorg is draining the company. There’s no information and no transparency about what’s coming next. At the same time, leadership keeps asking for more and more work without providing org clarity. Do they realize how unreasonable it feels... — read more 

But when are they going to start making better apparel?! So much space in Lulu/Vuori/Fabletics zone but Nike continues to make awful fitting and feeling clothes. Earth to design team, how about some fitted clothing, better materials, etc. 25.7... — read more 

I don’t want to be dragged into office politics. I don’t want to constantly worry about layoffs. I don’t want to care about how things will unfold at Nike anymore. I’m tired of spending my weekends just trying to shake off the stress, anxiety, and... — read more

More than 15 years with Nike. I gave it every chance to change and improve because of those good early days. But I’m done waiting and wasting time with a company that lacks vision and a real future. I just landed another job. Not better by any... — read more

When will EMEA reorg start? Aren't they supposed to still go through the Tech reorg?

Nike once pushed new ideas, but now it feels stagnant. I can’t remember the last time something exciting came out, something that wasn’t just a copy-paste of an old product with minor tweaks to justify the “new” tag. It’s ridiculous how complacent... — read more 

If we keep layoffs aside for a minute, do you think that things/people are falling into there supposed places? That things are just a little bit clearer than before wellness week ? What is happening with you, if I may ask?

I joined about ten months ago and it was great for the first six months. But lately, everything I do is suddenly under a microscope, tasks feel impossible, and I’m left out of key meetings. My work isn’t acknowledged, and my role keeps changing. Is... — read more

Former Nike, now retired. I use the gyms, and I’m curious - there always seems to be plenty of parking available on the south lot (by Nolan Ryan/Mike Schmidt). Are those buildings less used than others on campus?

thats it thats the news

in Bo Jackson. If you get summoned to a meeting there, you will walk out through side door with your firing papers and your days will be done in NIke. Nike is bringing back their old trick. Firing en masse without much effort.

My sources tell me that the big one will happen on Monday. Be prepared.

Simple curiosity: obviously Nike (or any other company) can’t pick a specific day where no one is out, so what happens/happened to those who are/were on PTO when the whole thing went down?

Nike let us keep our phones when we got laid off. I tried to wipe it today and was met with it still be registered as part of Nike's mobile device management. Does anyone know if this is intentional or the best way to ask Nike to remove it?

Posting for someone I know who got let go in June but did not receive their PSP last week, which was unexpected since they were still on the payroll post May 31. Was wondering if others experienced this or what the next steps should be?

The folks I know in HR have been prepping all week. If you haven't received a Zoom invite from your direct manager by 5pm, you should be okay for now.

It will be announced that a new geo will be formed AMER which stands for Americas north and south. APLA will disband and GC will become APAC. EMEA will remain but absorb India becoming EMEIA CS - AMER CG - EMEIA AD - APAC TP will once again...

Just board and executive office’s friends getting roles over more qualified but less connected people.

On paper it looks exciting and creative, but in reality your ideas often get shut down. Everyone spends more time trying to get noticed by their manager than actually doing meaningful work. If you’re good at following the crowd and flattering the... — read more 

The highlight of my day, is reading all the crybaby posts about what a horrible place Nike has become... all written whilst you're enjoying 'wellness week'! If you feel under-valued, step off the train, and jump into the real world. And once you... — read more 

My source in HR tells me they are prepping for a bunch of layoffs this Friday (15th).

I’m absolutely appalled. Our new CIO replacement isn’t technical at all. Never even touched code, hasn’t built anything, and didn’t spend a single day in the trenches as an engineer. Instead, they’ve spent their career bouncing around Tier 3... — read more

I was wondering if anyone on here has successfully negotiated their severance beyond what was given by Nike. If so how did it go? Did you get more than you would have? Did you enlist an attorney to help? Any insight is appreciated.

Seeing job postings at Nike while also seeing rumors of layoffs. WTH is going on there? I am guessing it's not worth applying but curious what those there think?

I didn't even have to open up the email to know exactly what demographic was hired. These id--ts will never learn. Stop. Hiring. Your. Fu--ing. Friends. They are not good

I’m curious to hear how Tech Leaders rank. Worst? I vote MD or CJ. Best? No one as they’re all gone. After all the leaders we’ve been through, why does it feel worse now. How did this happen? Head down and depressed.
