…just not this 1%!

Are all the exits done?

A similar sized company with a Portland footprint just conducted layoffs and a reorg. It was completed in 1 day. Why does it take Nike 5 months to cut a few hundred jobs and role out a new org structure and strategy that’s been known at the VP level... — read more 

Speaking of d-mb acronyms: What does “fields of play” mean anyway? Tennis and basketball are played on a court. Running happens on a trail or track. Even in soccer (football) the playing area is more commonly referred to as a ‘pitch.’ This is the... — read more 

Their social media feeds are filled with showing off Nike WHQ and the experience. Their biggest achievement in their life is Nike, their identify is nike. Isn’t it sad.

Can anyone share any credible info about who's been impacted? Which teams are changing, etc.? Things are too quiet right now.

Just kidding.

I'm curious why folks were laid off this time? Is it tenure (expensive), performance (low ratings), or simply political (did not kiss a-s)?

For those that were let go, I’m sincerely sorry. If you feel so inclined, would you be willing to share what your level, tenure and severance package were?

Does anyone have more information about today’s reorg announcement at EMEA/ ELC?

Let’s be honest, who here wouldn’t be better off working somewhere, anywhere else? The job market is scary right now, but that’s what severance is for. Being unemployed and looking isn’t as scary when you have enough money to get you through several... — read more 

I’m a nervous wreck. I need this job right now, as I’m sure the vast majority of us do.

Going to try my best to work today. Made it to noon yesterday before the uncertainty took over smh! Just want this to be over.

I have the numbers on a spreadsheet, but not the names. I can only hope that the DEI folks who celebrated 'sacrificing everything' to 'believe in something' dominate that list of 3.7%. Good riddance.

Seeing impacts on my team but no meeting set yet. The anxiety continues for another day I guess.

Seeing some deserved promotions, but more undeserved. Seeing quite a few people keep their jobs when I haven’t seen them complete a project in over 2 years. Here we go again.

For decades Nike was about growth, optimism and building greatness which drove culture and results. Now it is a place where people are fighting to survive and make decisions out of fear. Much different, and won't work ever.

How many teams will change name and acronyms? Which seems to be the most critical part of any re-org. We are all good as long as the function has a new name.

Any 15 min Sport Offense Activation Touchbases happen yet? Lateral shifts only? Anyone have a 15 minute TB and a geo shift? Hoping for some good news here LOL

Pretty soon it’s gonna be filled with promotion posts from people tone-deaf enough to celebrate while others are getting laid off or pushed into roles they don’t even want

Interested to hear which orgs are doing layoffs this round. This is just exhausting!!

when will these never ending layoffs and re-orgs just stop. It feels extremely unnerving and unsafe, even as a high performer, to feel like you could be on the chopping block constantly over the past few years at Nike.

Anyone else have this title meeting today with HR and their senior leader? What does this imply? Layoff or restructuring? Has anyone already had this call today.

Is everything scheduled yet? It’s completely crickets on this end.

I’m so worried but it’s quiet

I got a calendar invite for 30mins EOD at 5pm and it’s for 30mins. I haven’t experienced layoffs before. Any advice to what I should expect going into this would be helpful. What does a typical layoff calendar invite title look like?

I just got mine. Good luck, everyone!

It used to be that options after ten years would be worth more than your salary each year. Now, fear getting fired and letting go of options for zero. Many execs have lost millions in the last five years. What a sad story'

EH is somewhere out there crying up a storm at the fact that he has to cut you loose tomorrow. Reflect on the toll these layoffs have on your CEO.. Poor JD lost a whole pound of flesh last year. That’s all….

When it comes to layoffs there is no finish line. Just Do It? Apparently that only applies to cutting headcount. Always chasing the shiny objects while the basics get benched. Somehow MD still has a job, and HR is running around like it’s a... — read more 

With Tuesday being the big day? Just want to make sure I’m understanding this right.

When is it happening for GT EMEA?

does anyone know when severance is paid? is it on your final paycheck or does it come after? if it comes after, how much longer after? how long until accelerated stock vesting takes effect? doesn't seem like any of this was answered in the faq

Most senior leaders already know their roles. Some were informed months ago, others more recently. Mid-level managers were notified last week about changes to their teams below a certain level. They received updated reporting structures and job... — read more 

That’s what the rumors are pointing to, maybe for some of us. It’s really hard to make sense of what’s going on. This “restructuring” doesn’t feel structured at all from where we sit as regular employees. A bit of clear communication would go a long... — read more 

Friday started this round, VPs first? Who went yesterday? Is ordering higher levels first and ends with peons? Or maybe there is no logic on order?

Nike needs significant restructuring. HR should be reduced by 70%, administrative staff by 80%, and E-Band positions by 90%. Wipro and other IT consulting contracts should be cut by 80%, with no additional contractors from India. Marketing and sales... — read more 

Good luck everyone. I was part of the 1% who got laid off today. I was expecting a re-org but the layoff was very unexpected. I still believe in Nike, and hope to come back.

I can’t stop wondering what’s really going on behind the scenes when it comes to layoffs. Who decides which teams are safe and which ones get cut? Is it performance, politics, or just random numbers on a spreadsheet? It's like no one knows what logic... — read more
