Any truth to the rumors about a big round of layoffs in September?
It’s not that I wouldn’t expect it. But it would be helpful to know. So much has been happening behind the scenes with little to no communication, and it’s only making the already low morale worse.
Bonuses
As a laid off employee, when are bonuses expected to be issued, or have they been issued yet?

Jordan VP in EHQ
CW was in EHQ this week, people noticed that we was walking often alone. What does this visit mean for us? Will layoffs impact CG and his ELT team too?
3 Months Later SEC
With Nike outsourcing SEC to Accenture, has there been any large ball drops or massive issues?
Laying off 400 people out of 70,000+ is theater
Laying off 400 people in a multi-billion dollar company with over 70,000 employees is a performance. Bottom Line impact: Negligible. Some say Nike hires the best, smartest. Well then: Retool with the amazing talent. Do It differently than other... — read more

Disband IDSA and make consumer insights part of strategy?
Wouldn’t this make the insight work that will be done more connected to the business and give teams a better chance of having clear direction and impact?
Business as usual? Not really.
I find the lack of information being shared following EH's announcement frustrating. When will they share the sports/categories we'll be structured under (yes we can guess what they are but some official info would be great)? When will the VP round... — read more
[Non-Tech] What happened to reducing SKUs?
Why haven’t we reduced our product offerings? I thought the ‘reduce SKUs’ insight back in 2020 was supposed to become a strategy to simply make less product. Appears we still have 12,000+ products for sale on Nike.com.
There used to be a sense of pride here
Now it’s just quiet fear and survival mode. No one feels safe, and the idea of having to train someone who didn’t even earn the role is just salt in the wound. I don’t want to be here anymore. Whatever culture we had has been replaced by spreadsheets... — read more
It’s hard coming here now
Too many tech threads and complaining in the tech organization. I use to come here and listen to the complaints around the organization. Now, it’s drowned out by tech people complaining about everything under the sun.
VP layoffs finished rumor
True that VP layoffs are finished? Heard next round will be only Senior Directors and Directors
Nike is cooked
Zero cool factor or gravitational pull for kids these days. Leaders are dusty and think the 90s hype and 00s growth is coming back. Not happening. Time to downscale and reset expectations.
Hearing that close to 5% of WHQ will be laid off
Happening after wellness week
Genuine question for this forum
How many of you actually enjoy your job? Not tolerate it, not put up with it for the paycheck, but truly find satisfaction in it? I don’t know anyone in my circle who does. Curious if that’s just my bubble or something bigger.
It is time for MF to be shown the door -
arrogant and a complete a-hole he needs to go - Hopefully EH has him next on the list to go!!
How's your job search going?
I’ve officially given up on Nike. I’ve been looking non-stop for at least six months and received a few offers, but none really stood out. Fewer opportunities than in previous years, which is worrisome. I’m considering the latest offer - slightly... — read more
Why You Don’t Want IDSA to Fall…

All-Employee Engagement Survey (July 2025)
I am not sure what to fill or feel, are they tracking who filled in what? Do they care what is really our opinion? When you are filling in , are you bring absolutely brutal or cautious??
Was there ever a real idea of what they want to achieve with these reorgs?
Except cutting costs, of course. No sign this endless reshuffling will actually get us anywhere.

No true leaders left at Nike
I’ve had solid leaders in the past who earned our respect and made hard decisions with integrity. What we have now are people with titles and absolutely no clue how to lead. They manage spreadsheets, not people. Calling them leaders feels like an... — read more

CFO to be let go friday
finally, EH has come to his senses and realizing that this guy is not cutting it. There is no strong, competent leadership with MF. This is what happens when you follow the peter principle. Welcome ES to take his place!
More layoffs Friday
More layoffs coming Friday. Are you prepared? Are you ok with it being you and enjoying the rest of summer or are you concerned about looking for another job in this current environment?
Maybe Nike game is old now
Nike had bread and butter formula. Give me public athletic shoes with good looking style with celebrity endorsees with stories tied behind them. Maybe those day is over. Maybe public wants simple casual/athletic style. For crying out loud, we... — read more
So much bitterness and hatred here
