“Quality solutions, less tech debt, easy to hire a ton of warm bodies.” Our leaders are so out of touch and sooooo comfortable lying straight in my face while wearing the biggest smile. This single answer ruined my day. Thanks Nike!
It is big picture!!!

APLA will be divided in Asia Pacific and Latin America, LA sitting under NA and AP as a blanket org with GC underneath it.
To the VPs who made the decisions
Did any of the VPs trolling the spreadsheets offer themselves up? Did any of the VPs propose creativity and alternate solutions? Did any of the VPs protest this round? No. They said, "Yes" and walked their people to the platform to board the exit... — read more

Small thing but a big thing
Whoever decided to create an image of a black badge with Kim Kardashian’s face and employee number 1 totally missed the mark. Disrespectful to PHK and JJ. History matters. That is all. Have a brilliant day swoosh peeps.
HR is hurting the company
Nikes HR function is bloated and getting in the way of progress. We are wasting a huge amount of money carrying an excessively large HR function. They foolishly think they’re experts in the business domains while they know nothing. Cut them and... — read more
Your results and dedication mean nothing
I really hope people finally start to realize this. With very few exceptions, and I do mean very few, every layoff in recent memory has been driven purely by the numbers. Talented, dedicated, and competent people are treated as entirely replaceable... — read more

CPO is out and DSM renamed!!
Another leadership shake up results in the ousting of TR, the Chief Planning and Operations Officer. The DSM function will now be renamed as Planning and report to VA, Chief Supply Chain Officer. TR was only at Nike for 6 years. Thoughts??
See the long term!!
If Nike wants more sales then they can sell to Walmart and Targets too. That will boost few billion dollar on top line immediately! Is that what you want? or think it is right way to go? Honestly people!! That is why going with Amazon is not... — read more
Remove performance, enter toxicity
All the negativity and toxicity is definitely tied to so many lay offs where outcome was not tied to performance. When you know your work quality doesn’t make you safer, you look for other things to focus on. Please HR and leaders: Make performance... — read more
I made a mistake joining
Nike runs on micromanagement and fear. I came in fresh out of college, excited to contribute, but they treat entry-level employees like liabilities. It doesn’t matter if you bring fresh ideas - your opinion won’t reach anyone who matters. I expected... — read more
MD said more layoffs are needed
In a recent meeting MD said costs are still too high and that, yet another, round of layoffs is needed in next 6 months.
It would do wonders for Nike if managers actually knew their teams
I don’t know, maybe we wouldn’t keep losing talent? Maybe workloads would be distributed more sensibly, aligned with people’s actual skills? Maybe we wouldn’t have to work overtime because deadlines were mismanaged or workflows were a mess? And who... — read more
I am Also going to leave, but not now.
I am going to leave right before an important project I'm working on starts. I am going to do just like nike does to its employees, just don't give a F day.
Slash and burn. I'm out ... by choice.
So long. Leaving on my own after last week's ridiculousness. It was a slask and burn without care or consideration regarding who adds value or who can move to another org to increase efficiency and value delivery. This alone demonstrates this company... — read more
Where the he-l is the Caitlin Clark shoe?
We’re in Year 2 of Caitlin Clark lighting the sports world on fire—and still no signature shoe? What are we doing? She’s a marketing goldmine, and Nike’s sitting on its hands. Are we dragging this out so we can finally check the “A’ja Wilson... — read more

NIKE'S BIGGEST MISTAKE?
Nike just committed biggest mistake that they committed last few years. And they have made some serious mistakes. The latest and worst mistake that they made was signing with Amazon!! The strength of Nike was independent, cutting edge and moving... — read more
I wish there was an end goal
It would be great if we knew what the goal was when it comes to the total number of employees. Do they want to bring us down to 70k? 60k? Even lower? Just give us a number so we can know there’s an end in sight, even if it’s a few years away. But... — read more
Celebrating JJ Spaun's and Coco Gauff as they Won Now
Nike has been kicking everyone else's ar-e for so long in every major sporting event, it's great to see major champions from other brands win for a change.

What are your favorite signature Nike shoes? In my humble opinion, last time Nike had real signature shoes was Ronaldo soccer cleats with ankle elastics. They came out with that shoes for 2014 Brazil World Cup. That was 11 years ago. And that is... — read more
Another round of layoffs and same bad management and leadership remains

A week? A month? I just know for a fact it won't be a year. We're not that lucky.
Nike will never be a tech company
EH realizes that, JD had ambitions of Silicon Valley grandeur that ain’t fit for Beaverton and sports.
Honestly happy to be done
This place (GT and D&AI specifically) is a dumpster fire. The bad culture breeds bad leaders who make bad decisions. All the leaders practice self-preservation and act only in self interest. Given they have been in the same roles through multiple... — read more
What I fail to understand is ..
Why do we keep hiring the same people we let go of, hoping for a different outcome? Last year, we rehired the same people we had let go from the company within 3 months. If they are really good, why not keep them in the first place? Is leadership not... — read more
