I met a new SD at lunch this week who recently joined. The guy pulls no punches. Super smart I hope he won’t lose patience with this place. He isn’t afraid to say what all the engineers in the room are thinking that most SDs and VPs are too... — read more
When will the AI circlej--kend?
I'm actually pretty shocked at how pervasive AI has become in every aspect of the company. From engineering to design to mail to people making their own agents, etc. It seems like we're just throwing money at the bubble and it hasn't yet resulted in... — read more
ATC Cost Center
How in the world is ATC still open? It is nothing but a financial burden in a time when we are trying to cut money from everything. How much money could be saved by shutting this useless money put down. Nothing of use has come from this place... — read more

I know JD used to be in Nike's board before he became CEO
and Tim Cook is also on Nike board for long time. Is there correlation between Tim Cook and Nike's braindeadness in last few years? TC is basically ki-ling Apple with his bureaucratic approach. Anyone who says that Nike is not a zombie is brown... — read more
Better earnings coming but it’s the outlook that should keep you up.
The stock will probably be around $50 by the end of the year. We’re clearly in an AI bubble, and the AI-driven stocks are telling a very different story from reality. Our team isn’t ready to handle what’s coming. We’re stuck in an economic trap. If... — read more
please stop pressuring the remote pilot guys to waste office space
It's disrespectful to both the remote workers and those of us who need the desk space. Remote is remote, we allocate and budget the space for a reason ffs.
WHQ renamed to PHK
What does this achieve?
Skims has pubes?
What a time to be alive
High Salary Offer - Accept or Not
Have a offer. How risky is to accept? They are paying way beyond their standard offering for the role. In Nike , placed fine but loosing my relevance and experience and grossly underutilized(Very high workload but low expertise/support role)
Great post worth re-posting!
Quoting @fx+1k79fcw84 Centralized control is the result of inexperienced leadership, lack of accountability, resources that aren’t qualified, and resources unable to learn and grow because of the revolving door of people coming and going, along with... — read more
I went to Nike Outlet near Palm Springs, CA.....
That is the BIG outlet among Nike outlets. And I am surprised to say the least. There were Jordans, Dunks and AF 1 by tons. I thought that I died and went to heaven but then I realized that would have been true 10 years ago I saw AJ 1, AJ3, AJ4... — read more

If you're on the fence, leave
Leaving was the hardest decision I’ve ever made, but it ended up being the right one. The first few months were rough, with anxiety, second guessing, and sleepless nights, but once the dust settled, I realized how much lighter life felt. For anyone... — read more
Isn’t EH the best?
I have been telling that he is not a great CEO, we need someone with a backbone to make big changes.
SuperStars? Where are they?
Historically, Nike had impeccable timing of using relevant SuperStar of the moment and help them lead to next level. I will go back as far as John McEnroe, Jordan, Barkley, Carl Lewis, Mary Slaney, Joan Benoit Samuelson, Mark Allen, Bo, Lebron, Kobe... — read more
A reflection from the GT EMEA trenches
Reading in one of the posts that there are “reservations” about the helpfulness or productivity of GT EMEA teams hits hard, especially now, in the midst of layoffs that are already testing our collective resilience. Having overseen cross-geo value... — read more
Rumor time: End of wellness week
Farewell wellness week. Welcome unwellness week. No idea if someone will actually TELL the wage slaves or not but word is it's dead.
Nike is a $50 stock
EH can evangelize “we’re all about sport” all day long. Duh. Wall St street and former shareholders like me are over it. Tired of the excuses. Just Innovate! Without it Nike is uncool in this era.
Layoff rumors
When's the next round coming? Have we heard anything yet?
It has been more than a year since EH took over
some might say that he has not been back enough time to make any changes and show results. Whereas some might say he is not working out. I would like to know what most of you think of his performance and about Nike's future? Comment is greatly... — read more
Why Even Post Jobs If They’re Already Filled Internally?
I’ve been working for Nike on and off for about five years now as an ETW. Ironically, with all the recent layoffs, this has actually been the closest thing to career stability I’ve had, especially since the industry I came from is falling apart and... — read more
I just saw SKIMS line
and not impressed. Seems like all they are trying to do is emulate Lululemon. That game is well played out and perfected by Lulu. As usual with Nike these days "it is dollar short and day late"
A deal has been made
At the 11th hour to keep HON onboard . They will now lead geographies and marketplace again with CW shifting to a new role tbc
GT EMEA Layoffs
Regardless of how you think about whether we should have the GT EMEA group or they’re helpful, productive, etc, etc. this isn’t about it. Yesterday I was taking to a teammate in there, and they told me the GM sent a video where he says they’re... — read more
APLA rumors
Are they true and should I be worried if I work in APLA? WILL CS be ok? Thanks
Nike in a nutshell
For years Nike has been in the habit of re-orging to a new formation, then clamping down on hiring so the vision is never fully resourced or executed. When the results don’t meet expectations, they respond with another re-org, leaving teams in a... — read more
Some orgs might get green light to hire
But finance is already saying "math is not going to add up". I hope the sr leaders are cautious about hiring. Layoff should not be the new normal.
GeO revamp
This week the 2 year long project of the GeO revaMP will finally be completed with CS shifting roles and APLA being absorbed into Amercias and APAC. CS will shift to Vp of Nike Direct and SG will be taking a new role outside of NIKE TBA.

SKIMS. So gross. Thanks for taking women backward Nike.
Ridiculous and terrible.
The H1B chaos
The whole world is talking about H1B chaos caused by 'you know who' and here we are , pin drop silence.. is that an indication that Nike have laid off so many of the H1B that there is no need of any discussion about it.. anymore!!!
Earnings predictions
Will the stock go up? What do you think of the earnings?

Severance benefits beyond cash payment
Hi, does Nike provide any resume or other outplacement support?

Not a healthy company
You can tell a healthy company by the way it grows. A sick one just keeps restructuring to squeeze a few more bucks out while everyone burns out. Sound familiar? Working here is like living in a company that’s eating itself alive instead of actually... — read more
