S.S. said: Layoffs are a symptom of a system that has lost its heart, not a strategy, and great bosses don't lay people off. No great bosses here. Just overpaid C-suite listening to consulting firms who use spreadsheets to chop people and perks.

Did anyone catch a Freudian slip yesterday? I feel like there was a lot of stammering because of nerves to deliver bad news. But did anyone catch this? This isn’t verbatim, but something was said along the lines of - we have to make tough calls... — read more 

People here aren’t asking for miracles; they just want to know their input actually leads to changes they can see. Right now, feedback loops feel like surveys that disappear into a void. A healthier culture would come from sharing what the company... — read more 

Why the extra security in the buildings on campus today?

When Wellness Week was implemented during Covid, Nike used the opportunity to axe the profit sharing retirement benefit. The messaging stated, "We are prioritizing investments into employee well being and pay continuity for retail athletes." The... — read more 

It’s honestly a sign of how many entitled people we have here who are overly obsessed with wellness week. Working 9 to 5, in person, at your desk… with PTOs… is that really that difficult? And for HR, if the goal is to let these naïve people out... — read more 

Pretty convenient that someone had a note card to trigger the prepared statement to have a Dad talk with the entire company. If you respond other than how we expect you to respond get ready to get in line! And tears!

Let’s start this thread for further discussions, cheers

Leaving Nike was the best decision I've made in my life. I did not realize I was in depression working in such a company where employees don't do any actual work. I was at Nike for 5 years and left soul s**king Oregon and Nike. Much happier, lost 30... — read more 

Say you worked under an incredibly ignorant and overly confident VP who wrecked your department and in an attempt to help fix things, you find yourself a target and eventually resign after receiving unethical orders. My questions are A. Is there a... — read more 

This last restructure - was this with any of the consultancy agencies or home brewed at Nike? I have never seen more chaos in an org - each individual now doing the job titles of three to four people. Product will go to deeper sh-t levels. You ask... — read more 

Hot take but since Nike is over staffed why not offer a buyout option? Over 10 years and certain levels of age just let them volunteer and avoid the noise. Other companies are doing it. Google again. That would be a positive all team announcement for... — read more 

I knew they were doing the Global Tech layoffs in EMEA last week, but a friend of mine just got let go here on campus- Legal Privacy office. Any other groups impacted last week?

Does anyone know how they would check if you are in office? Can I just swipe my badge and leave?

At what point are heads going to start rolling? It feels like it will never get any better.

Happening Wednesday. Su-ks for sure.

Is no one going to bring this up? I thought it was only Tech and HR on here? What’s the word in HR after all the change? Promotions? Layoffs? New roles? Is this good or status quo given the larger restructuring

Riffs afoot. Ditch the human element, instead let AI write Nike comms. MG wasted no time.

Not sure about GT but DA&I is completely wiped off EHQ today. Sad but true

Under 63 today. Everytime the stock gets a little love and hits around the 72 mark, it falls back down to below earth. Market is at an all time high while nike is reaching 5 year lows. Unbelievably horrible performing stock. When will this change?... — read more 

3rd of November will start Layoffs in EHQ and PTC and week after in ELC. In the meantime, ITC grow rapidly - hundreds of new positions. I have the impression that the company is moving to India. I wonder if it's because Sr LT in GT come from India…

Does anyone have any more information on this? The last I heard was the following; APLA will transition to APAC, Latin America will join North America and CS will transition to a new role called VP, Global Geo Ops, which will be all about tying... — read more 

Was anyone laid off in early September given a termination date of November 14?

What you guys think ?

Really glad to see DM is back with her side hustle in the Nike classifieds slack channel! Must be exhausting posting all that junk on the clock.

What’s the opinion on this words from MD? “ Over the past two years, we have built one of the most efficient, data-driven cloud environments in our history, cutting costs, boosting performance, and shrinking our carbon footprint at the same time... — read more 

I heard that everybody but GT (why not???) is having layoffs today in EMEA. Is that right? How many have been impacted?

The days when that made any sense are long gone. Layoffs keep happening, smaller and more targeted, which means it can hit anyone at any time. The chances of Nike returning to its mythical glory, when it was fun to work here and the company was... — read more 

Usually we have the date for the next well-being week announced by now. Have a feeling the party might be over this year.

The almighty leader of global tech is spearheading an Amazon Alexa project that is a major waste of time and money.

It feels more like influencers company at this point. We spend so much marketing dollars on something that doesnt benefit the brand in the long term

I was laid off within the last 2 years. My experience thus far, has been one of immense relief. If you're lucky to have a good cultural pocket at Nike, I envy you. I was unfortunate enough to be in a toxic one for several years, and it weighed on me... — read more 

Recently got my employment terminated at Nike. I was working as a contractor ETW at Nike. My vendor called me and told me that my contract got terminated due to HR policy violations. This is because as I am a remote employee I went to Nike office... — read more 

until Nike returns to growth and business feels good again? Not sure how much longer I can take this stress.

The so-called leaders play politics and mumble through meetings and promote people who don’t even understand the work. Things are getting worse every day and nobody seems to care. Sometimes I feel like I'm watching a slow collapse of a once great... — read more 

What is the latest with APLA and when will it disband? I'm really concerned about CS and the role they will hold when this change takes effect? Asking for a friend. Thanks

if you did get it, is it one of those "are you happy with your job" type of thing? I never respond to these since I get paranoid of being retaliated
