ETW cuts coming for GT

Had a friend in AI/ML whose contract was extended until early 2026 get notified yesterday that today would be his last day, and also had another team member get let go today as well.

What’s the verdict on raises?

Based on performance? At least that’s what I’m hearing. But then, many of us probably won’t be around to find out. I, for one, have pretty much abandoned all hope.

I’ve been focusing on finding another job

I don’t know about you, but the uncertainty and malaise that have been plaguing Nike for a while, and continue to grow, are becoming unmanageable for me. It’s clear that nothing at Nike is going to change for the better. All we can realistically... — read more 

Everyone Should Read This

I’ve been browsing this site for almost a year now, and I’ve probably read most posts and replies during that time. This might be the best post I’ve seen. Everyone should read it. @c2+1jvnynzz9 “Nike was never supposed to work. It was a chaotic... — read more 

Job offer?

Finished interviewing 2 weeks ago for an internal role. Heard the job needs approval to make offer/hire. Anyone else hearing this? Anyone get an offer recently?

Nike lays off tech staff following weak Q4 forecast

Sportswear retailer Nike NKE.N is laying off some of its employees in its technology division, a company representative told Reuters on Monday. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2025/05/20/nike-layoffs-tech-staff/83751557007/

Delusional employees

Folks who think they're "needed" and that makes them safe make me laugh. If there's one thing I have learned during my 11 years with Nike, it's that no matter how essential you are or how few people can do what you do, you're not safe. The decision... — read more 

When will the layoffs happen?

It seems like every post lately people are confident that layoffs are coming. I haven’t heard anything from my direct reports. Can someone confirm?

Savings

With layoffs looming, how much do you currently have sitting in your savings and checking accounts? Let's talk cash on hand, no investments, just liquid funds. I'm reevaluating my emergency fund and wondering where others stand. Also, how much do... — read more 

Would new leadership help?

I'm just wondering whether removing the entire ELT and bringing in a competent team could still help right the course of Nike, or if we have already reached the point where the damage is so deep and the brand so compromised that no amount of fixing... — read more 

NKE is $40 stock

Longtime shareholder here who has sold off. This is a $40 stock in a turbulent market with no comeback in sight. If you’re smart you’ll sell your shares… Nike might have marketshare but it decreases every year. It’s not captivating anyone and the... — read more 

How do the layoff meetings go?

GT ETW…how do layoffs work here for us? HR meeting scheduled then they drop the hammer? Is it early or late in the day, or anytime? Told to WFH that day? By our manager or HR? Never spoken to HR once here, heard we may be affected so just curious how... — read more 

There will be no turnaround

Nike has shifted into a cycle of cuts and reorgs driven solely by the need to manage the stock price and serve the interests of shareholders and the C-suite. We're not going back to being a dynamic, visionary, and creative company. From here on out... — read more 

Good luck

Watching all these layoffs roll through Nike has been brutal, especially with good people getting tossed into this awful job market. If you're one of them, I hope you land somewhere better soon. Meanwhile, the rest of us are just waiting to see if... — read more 

MD - Who’s next?

We’ve seen CPI and CFC take action. When will the others showing their cards? GaME, DAI, TechOps, and EADP it’s no secret that these are bloated organizations, and even those within them are aware of it.

Nike marketers

Yall doing okay? Most of the convo here seems to be about GT (not totally sure who or what they’re talking about), but I’m guessing a bunch of marketing folks are quietly observing. Are we all good? Hopefully the CMO’s promotion means some good stuff... — read more 

Nike Contractors Laid Off Today

A number of Nike contractors were laid off today with very little warning. We were told the contracts were getting renewed, but they cut about 1/3 of the data managers. None of our managers were involved in this decision; it was all upper management... — read more 

NKE rebound?

NKE is up around 16% last month. Has the long awaited rebound finally begun?

That new Nike ad… so catchy

Miss Nike Swoosh, Swoosh, Swoosh All dressed in swoosh, swoosh, swoosh Had quarterly blues, blues, blues And lost their juice, juice, juice They tried to sell, sell, sell With new tech hype, hype, hype But kids just shrugged, shrugged, shrugged Not... — read more 

Severance

Anybody know what the severance packages are this time around?

More layoffs to come…

Earnings call in a month won’t be pretty. SLT already crafting the narrative. While JD spoke of cuts to come, EH will instead speak to cuts that already happened. Messaging meant to show more proactive leadership. Dust off your resumes and start... — read more 

This round goes to ACN

Mass layoffs in SEC and CF&C. Later get a mail that strategic vendor will take over. ACN 1: Nike FTEs 0 CF and MF shamelessly persist despite their incompetency. Is this what EH came to Nike for? Looks like JD was infact much better atleast for... — read more 

theyve been let go

finally CS is gone... idk the fate of APLA but with HON gone it makes sense....

I'm confused

What does a WFH mail mean? That you're getting laid off or that you're not getting laid off? How are people notified? Asking as a newbie (9 months here), just so I know what I can expect tomorrow.

Nike leadership should send DJT a thank you card

Now they’ve got the perfect excuse for the company tanking. Just blame it on tariffs. “It’s not our fault, it’s the economy!!!” Meanwhile, anyone paying attention knows internal management and decisions are a complete mess and only getting worse... — read more
