So just to get this straight - there aren’t “remote work weeks” but leaders can just randomly work remote for a day here or there? If they are responding to work emails and engaging in work with their team then they are technically working right?... — read more
Can anyone confirm more layoffs at Nike this month?
Hearing new layoff rumors for this month, but my source isn't solid. Can anyone here confirm or deny this?
SEC launch delayed on purpose?
Anyone else get the feeling that Accenture is drawing out this launch to delay their impending layoff? I can’t wait until we are done with these excel jockeys!
How are you dealing with burnout?
I've been burning the candle at both ends for a long time, and I just can't seem to do it anymore. Not even the time off helped. I just can't concentrate. I can't get myself to do anything. This is terrifying, because I'm worried it'll lead to me... — read more
Employees happiness = profitability

Any chance performance will ever actually matter in layoffs?
All I’ve seen over the past year is top performers being shown the door, while the slickest office-politics players stay and continue damaging teams. Why is leadership so allergic to retaining actual talent?

Kraft Heinz’s cost-cutting and decline: a warning sign for Nike
Happy New Year. Kraft Heinz is a case study in what happens when cost discipline outpaces reinvestment. Years of cost-cutting and leadership churn weakened execution and blurred ownership, opening the door for faster, nimbler competitors. For Nike... — read more

Nike stock

There’s been a lot of pressure lately
It almost feels intentional, as if my team is being set up to fail. It seems more like attrition by design than anything else. People are so demoralized that no one has the energy to push back. Being laid off with severance is beginning to feel like... — read more
My New Year's resolution
Leave Nike. That's it. That's the only goal I'm setting for myself.
Nike heritage is over
was in outlets and Nike stores during holiday shopping with family. And they all had tons of AJs, AFs, Dunks and other classic styles by the tons and in deep discounts. After this effort by Nike, I don't think that anyone with correct mindset will... — read more
Nobody asked me for a Nike pass this Xmas…
The fact that employees are talking about liquidating their stock at a big loss is a clear indicator of how toxic leadership, lack of innovation, poor marketing, along with Accenture creating long hours and headaches for everyone in Tech has caused... — read more
Sold all my nike shares
Left nike 18 months ago and I had a huge amount of Nike stocks. Sold everything today at a 12% loss. I held nike stocks only because it was part of ESPP. This is my first time losing money on the stock market but it is not the 12% that su-ks! It is... — read more
Uptick in resignations
Opened LinkedIn on this Monday morning to find lots of resignation announcements. What’s going on?
Two people on my team fired this month
Is anybody else seeing an uptick in firings or is this an isolated incident? I’m spiraling a bit and starting to worry they’ve decided to save on severance by outright kicking people out without anything, so it’d be nice to know that’s not what’s... — read more
Question for fellow Nike associates
Is it better to stay working at Nike during these challenging times or would it be better to consider a Career change? What other careers could Nike associates with our experience enter? As for me, I'm on the fence because I can't stand living in... — read more
How low can it go?
With stock prices bouncing around in the $50-$60 range any predictions about how low the price will drop once we come out of the holiday break? My prediction is we drop below $52 before end of Jan.

Obviously layoffs are happening in 2026, im wondering if anyone has heard when exactly, specifically for tech?
Nike Stock
Outside of ESPP contributors, employees being rewarded with stocks, executives; do people actually buy Nike stock? Trying to figure out why anyone would considering the results of the last 4 years especially when you compare it to the broader market... — read more

This company has completely lost its direction
Sadly, employees are the ones paying the price. I spent years here thinking things would stabilize, but instead it was constant disruption and recurring layoffs. Management keeps experimenting, backtracking, and repeating failures, while workers are... — read more
Merry Christmas another round of layoffs for the holiday
Nike loves its layoffs before Christmas and stock price declines after earnings shareouts. Happy holidays
What I’m most grateful for
Not having to work for the hollowed out dead shell of a once great company. Not having to act like the id--t leaders in tech have a clue as to what they are doing. Not having to work with unethical, trashy, leaders in tech. Not having to pretend... — read more

In the 5-7 years, in your opinion; where did we go wrong?
ESPP
There was a time when partaking in the ESPP was a no-brainer. An immediate and minimum profit of 15% off the lower of the two semi annual corporate purchase opps. Those days are long gone. An employee comp perk that is no longer. Options are a... — read more
Sign of dispair: Nike copying adidas
Nike is so desperate on product innovation. Nike basketball’s senior-most designer copied the Harden franchise in the Nike GT Future releasing now. It’s not a foamposite revival it’s an adi copycat. Things are getting really bad from a design... — read more
Where is the breaking point?
Phil going to die with his company in the gutter. Shareholders underwater. Employees underwater. ESPP hasn’t been relevant for 5 years given sharp decline. Annual bonus was and will continue to be below 100%. How embarassing.
Hear my Bain idea to turn the ship around
Pay all employees in RSUs only. No base. No PSP. Only RSUs. Let’s see those slackers then. Disclaimer: due to local regulations, EMEA folks will continue to get a symbolic €1/month base. Ba dum tiss. JD, hit me up if you need a chief of staff in... — read more
