This is Layoff.com
Why are so many “leaders” sharing their business lessons here? No Nike leader is listening. Let’s get back to what this forum is actually for. If anyone has real intel on layoffs, reorgs or what’s coming, speak up

DSG tanking today and going to impact Nike footwear sales
Nike just not having a good decade.
I feel bad for new employees
All they'll ever know is the mess Nike is right now. None of them will know the amazing company we joined decades ago that was on top of the list for so many people. With great pay, great benefits, amazing products, and making us feel proud to be... — read more
Nike needs real leaders
Nike used to lead trends. Now it feels like Nike is chasing them because it fell behind after years of bad product, uninspired colors, and questionable fashion decisions (lead by a mass wave of DEI initiatives). And look at New Balance and Adidas... — read more
How Entitled Corporate Karens Helped Ruin Nike
Let’s be clear: this is not a criticism of women broadly and certainly not of the many women of color at Nike who consistently kick a-s, deliver exceptional work, challenge broken systems, and make the company better. This is about a specific... — read more
Bring back good — ditch the bad
Can we bring back good leaders to Nike? Those who left or RIF’d people actually liked and/or at least did great work and delivered results? Ones who their teams liked working for? I don’t even care if liked, but if delivered can we petition to get... — read more
Don't make this place your life
I put in years of nights and weekends because Nike always came first. Then one day I realized I was missing my life. When did it become harder to scale back than it was to keep going? I'm still trying to figure that out, but make sure not to repeat... — read more
If you're worried, make a plan
Don't expect the company to care. It never will.
Our Win Now and overall strategy is wrong, it's not just execution
The idea we can return Nike to glory or even growth just selling more to Wholesale has never been right. Sounds like an easy fix because it is too simple. On and Hoka didn't eat our lunch because of shelf space. Their products were innovative... — read more

You can sue your manager or supervisor personally!

Use one sentence to describe "State of Nike"
Nike’s core problem is that in chasing a new audience and embracing social activism, it has lost the competitive, aspirational identity and storytelling that made the brand culturally powerful in the first place.

New VP role for ITC
So much for cost savings in technology. Everyone from Europe and NA in May lost their jobs to pad this guy's payroll.
Bravo, Nike board. Bravo.
This rests at your feet. Kept hiring from the Boyz club for CEO and here you are. Pathetic. Not surprising.
Sorry, but Nike has turned into a joke
All the smart people are gone. Just underachievers and people riding out retirement left.
You guys are getting roasted over on Twitter.

Who else is in on an EEOC complaint?
Who else filed? Discrimination, Retaliation and a hostile work environment. This place wreaks of it! Are they piling up while HR does nothing? When the EEOC sees Nike as the employer it’s a front row seat to a charge.
Are we working for ITC or are they working for PHK?
The audacity of some people saying, ‘I’m from ITC, can you connect during my working hours?’ when their working hours are literally late at night through early morning for us.
Poor Leadeship
It's the leadership. It's always been the leadership. Look at recent performance and it's obvious. Absolutely poor leaders who only speak in PowerPoint prose and can't think beyond a bullet point. Leaders who go above and beyond to keep themselves... — read more
