has anyone been laid off and come back as an ETW? Did you manage to get a FTE role after coming back as an ETW?
How has NIKE avoided the Oregon WARN list?
We've been through a lot this year. Lots of pockets and smaller waves. It's paid off, they've managed to keep it under wraps this year. Known Layoffs in 2025: 300 SEC (May 15) 480 Global Tech (June 10) 150 WHQ - IDSA, NAO, Ops, Marketing, DSM... — read more
Rant: LinkedIn Open to Work/Laid off posts from Nike people
Disclaimer: The individuals I am talking about is not the SD/VP/SVP... of Nike It's just heartbreaking to see laid-off/open to work posts from such talented individuals of Nike, I am so sorry and sad that we are going through this !!
When was the last time someone was laid off based on performance?
I honestly can’t remember. It’s always been about cost, nothing else. We’ve been shedding talent like crazy for years, and no amount of reorganization will ever redeem that.
I know someone who doesn’t want Nike to win…
…the owners of TheLayoff.com! At this point we must’ve tripled their ads revenue. I was checking another company here (you know, just curious…), and I’ve got so impressed that I checked others. No other company has the level of engagement Nike has... — read more
Cool! Congrats on your dream job/promotion. The rest of the folks who have been laid off can find solace in your achievements.
I'm thrilled to finally share the exciting news that I've been promoted to my dream role as the VP of Merchandising for Asia Pacific and Latin America at Nike! It's been a busy few months setting up this amazing team for success, but I'm proud to... — read more
The org is simplified?
I want to be positive and optimistic (not a good trait on this website) about the changes and the move to the sport offence, but come on! Did you see that org chart? (Just go to the support documents in Workday) Over a hundred VPs in the first level... — read more
Why do the worst leaders always survive reorgs?
Can someone tell me how the he-l we keep going through re-org after re-org, yet somehow the absolute worst fu--ing leaders are the ones who survive every single time? It’s like the less you give a damn about the brand, the company, or your team, and... — read more
INP in Workday
What does INP stand for against someone's name in Workday?
CS TO LEAD xfn offense
Super excited to report that CS will lead the cross functional offense. APLA will cease operations shortly and be folded into other geos. Those with APLA jobs now will NOT be laid off they will be transferred to other geos. Cheers all
Cross Functional Offense
So we’re driving cross-functional teams, leveraging cross-functional strategies, to unlock cross-functional synergies that empower cross-functional outcomes in a cross-functional ecosystem of cross-functional alignment across cross-functional... — read more
Walking away was the best choice I’ve made
Nike su-ked the life out of me, and now I actually feel lighter, with my days finally my own again. Leave. It gets better.
Predictions on when (if) the stock gets back to $100
What are your thoughts on when, or even if, NKE gets back to $100. I need my ESPP to get back in the green so I can officially abandon Nike forever.
EMEA GT: The email from EMEA GM
Long story short, there is going to be significant changes, at least the mail suggested that, anyone's got any clue??
Quit complaining
Start quitting. I did and I'm so much happier. If you just complain and don't do anything about it, why would they care?
I think we’re safe for the next 3 years
with the men’s world cup next year, the women’s world cup the year after, and then the olympics in 2028
Another reorg, another round of confusion
You can’t settle into your role before everything shifts again. It’s exhausting trying to stay productive when nothing stays the same long enough to get comfortable.
No matter how good you are, you're not safe
I've been trying to explain this to a few coworkers who still haven't figured out that even if your reviews are always stellar and you've been here for years and consider yourself irreplaceable, you're not. I think some people could face a hard truth... — read more
Stale leadership
We fumbled hard when JD left. Instead of swinging big, we smashed the reset button. Now we’ve got an old CEO, an old CMO, a CFO with zero imagination, a supply chain guy who can’t count, and a CTO who still thinks she’s running ops at Amazon—bless... — read more
Apparel needs a deep purge
The entire leadership chain needs to go
I’m not guessing or worrying any longer
I’ve been putting all the energy and time I can into making sure I’ve got other options and some savings. I don’t expect things to get better, quite the opposite. More frequent, bigger layoffs are likely, because there’s no turning this ship around... — read more
When is the next round ?
Any bets on when the next round is going to be? After q4 earnings come in low? Turnaround falters and tariffs bite?
Promotion Pilot raise
I was submitted to the promotion pilot in GT and I was wondering how raises could potentially work? Assuming I'm going from 30-35 or 35-40, is there any guidance on how much I can expect for an increase?
Execs protecting execs
Anyone find that sr directors and VPs in their org were protected while everyone else suffered losses? How is this ever the right approach to a company re org? Hard watching the same lifers play musical chairs every year and then we all act surprised... — read more
EMEA marketplace ops
Will converse EMEA ops be impacted? I haven't heard
File for unemployment benefits?
What's the consensus? This is my first time being laid off in my career. Any guidance helps.
Nosey parker
I hope this doesn’t come across the wrong way — I’m genuinely curious to understand how conversations landed and the shifts this week. Which functions have been most affected, and if your title changed, what did that look like for you? I’ve heard a... — read more
EH needs to deliver or the shine will rubboff
EH is a charismatic leader who is adored by the Nike Staff. After all he had pretty bad boots to fill. Post this re org we need to see Nike rebound otherwise it’s just a constant annual thing which will make people just exhausted from their battle... — read more
CS to lead all global categories
APLA will be taken over by GC and NA and then CS will become a new role VP/GM Global Categories. Let me be the first to wish them success in this new role.
EH is the best.
Hahaha! Do you think he is transparent. Haha. He is just waiting for some luck haha
What are the new Sport categories??
Running, Basketball, Global Football, NSW, Energy, Core, Kids... what else?
Anyone else riding the wave of "have not heard a peep except for the all company emails"?
is that a bug or a feature
Nothing will change
The sad thing is, despite the reorg, nothing will change. We need a bigger shakeup at the top if we want to right this ship. A much bigger shakeup.
It’s definitely over?
All exit conversations have happened. Many people have an option to exit or get demoted, and those people were given 48 hours to choose. Thus more exits may happen, but initiated by conversations that happened on Tuesday. OP: @ah+1k48nnf8v
You Could Try, And Fail.
Maybe your best won't be good enough. But maybe you'll go all in and come out with everything. There's only one way to find out. Is it me, or do Nike's ads at these times of layoffs, low share price etc speak to themselves... Sorry for all let go... — read more
This wasn't as bad as I expected
I honestly thought more people would be affected. I'm just not sure if I should be happy about it or worry there's more left for next month or whenever they decide. Who knows with this place.
I’ve always dreamed of being in the 1%…
…just not this 1%!
