How do you think we’ll do? I’m hearing from my friends, it’s not awful but not great. Some things are looking up but we’re struggling.
Remember when I said big news
The day before PM and AM got promoted? More big news on the way !!!!
What Muge said in yesterday's call?
Can someone please summarize what Muge said in yesterday's call, missed the meeting and recording not available yet. Anxious!
Get to work
To those complaining that all posts are tech, please get off this site and design some shoes that sell and some marketing campaigns that inspire and let us complain about tech leaders while we wait for you all to get us back on track. We’re not a... — read more
Is there some other place where other parts of the business post
So tired of these tech posts
Is anybody else worried about severance?
The way things have been going, I'm not even sure there will be one in a year or two. Almost makes it preferable to be laid off right now.
We should all just leave and never look back
Especially those who’ve been at Nike for years. The magic is gone, and it’s not coming back. Even if everything else were somehow going well, leadership is too old and out of touch to come up with smart strategy or products people actually want. But... — read more
10 Predictions
IDSA absorbed by business & DC impacted NA Layoffs before return to Main Campus. Why do we need so many people in NA if sales are declining in NA and other geos do the same biz processes with less. (APLA) Also not enough parking spaces and room... — read more
GT meeting "we aren't a tech company"
Lesson is if you aren't some cheap third world person you're going to be replaced. Brush up those resumes and call your friends, if not this fiscal year then next we are fubar
We are doing layoffs to improve job satisfaction- MD
Can someone be more funnier that her lol
“Why are we replacing US roles in India?”
“Quality solutions, less tech debt, easy to hire a ton of warm bodies.” Our leaders are so out of touch and sooooo comfortable lying straight in my face while wearing the biggest smile. This single answer ruined my day. Thanks Nike!
It is big picture!!!
everybody in this platforms seems to be worried about what is going to happen in their small world. Let's look at the big picture. Basic source of your malaise is the fact that Nike cannot come out with items that can click with public, specially... — read more
What's the next benefit that's going to disappear?
I wonder what people think will be the next victim of cost saving.
CS to announce the break up of APLA next week
APLA will be divided in Asia Pacific and Latin America, LA sitting under NA and AP as a blanket org with GC underneath it.
To the VPs who made the decisions
Did any of the VPs trolling the spreadsheets offer themselves up? Did any of the VPs propose creativity and alternate solutions? Did any of the VPs protest this round? No. They said, "Yes" and walked their people to the platform to board the exit... — read more
MD to be let go next Friday
MD to be let go with sev and she knew this ams has worked her way back to Amazon on solid source. Not part of EH’s future. Best for all parties
Intel will outsource marketing

Small thing but a big thing
Whoever decided to create an image of a black badge with Kim Kardashian’s face and employee number 1 totally missed the mark. Disrespectful to PHK and JJ. History matters. That is all. Have a brilliant day swoosh peeps.
HR is hurting the company
Nikes HR function is bloated and getting in the way of progress. We are wasting a huge amount of money carrying an excessively large HR function. They foolishly think they’re experts in the business domains while they know nothing. Cut them and... — read more
Your results and dedication mean nothing
I really hope people finally start to realize this. With very few exceptions, and I do mean very few, every layoff in recent memory has been driven purely by the numbers. Talented, dedicated, and competent people are treated as entirely replaceable... — read more
Program roles same title replaced with engineering People
I have noticed that some program roles formerly occupied by some who were laid off are now being backfilled by Engineer staff using the same title .. is this legal?

CPO is out and DSM renamed!!
Another leadership shake up results in the ousting of TR, the Chief Planning and Operations Officer. The DSM function will now be renamed as Planning and report to VA, Chief Supply Chain Officer. TR was only at Nike for 6 years. Thoughts??
See the long term!!
If Nike wants more sales then they can sell to Walmart and Targets too. That will boost few billion dollar on top line immediately! Is that what you want? or think it is right way to go? Honestly people!! That is why going with Amazon is not... — read more
Remove performance, enter toxicity
All the negativity and toxicity is definitely tied to so many lay offs where outcome was not tied to performance. When you know your work quality doesn’t make you safer, you look for other things to focus on. Please HR and leaders: Make performance... — read more
I made a mistake joining
Nike runs on micromanagement and fear. I came in fresh out of college, excited to contribute, but they treat entry-level employees like liabilities. It doesn’t matter if you bring fresh ideas - your opinion won’t reach anyone who matters. I expected... — read more
MD said more layoffs are needed
In a recent meeting MD said costs are still too high and that, yet another, round of layoffs is needed in next 6 months.
It would do wonders for Nike if managers actually knew their teams
I don’t know, maybe we wouldn’t keep losing talent? Maybe workloads would be distributed more sensibly, aligned with people’s actual skills? Maybe we wouldn’t have to work overtime because deadlines were mismanaged or workflows were a mess? And who... — read more
I am Also going to leave, but not now.
I am going to leave right before an important project I'm working on starts. I am going to do just like nike does to its employees, just don't give a F day.
Slash and burn. I'm out ... by choice.
So long. Leaving on my own after last week's ridiculousness. It was a slask and burn without care or consideration regarding who adds value or who can move to another org to increase efficiency and value delivery. This alone demonstrates this company... — read more
Where the he-l is the Caitlin Clark shoe?
We’re in Year 2 of Caitlin Clark lighting the sports world on fire—and still no signature shoe? What are we doing? She’s a marketing goldmine, and Nike’s sitting on its hands. Are we dragging this out so we can finally check the “A’ja Wilson... — read more
TechOps
What is new in Tech Ops after the Reorg?
NIKE'S BIGGEST MISTAKE?
Nike just committed biggest mistake that they committed last few years. And they have made some serious mistakes. The latest and worst mistake that they made was signing with Amazon!! The strength of Nike was independent, cutting edge and moving... — read more
I wish there was an end goal
It would be great if we knew what the goal was when it comes to the total number of employees. Do they want to bring us down to 70k? 60k? Even lower? Just give us a number so we can know there’s an end in sight, even if it’s a few years away. But... — read more
Celebrating JJ Spaun's and Coco Gauff as they Won Now
Nike has been kicking everyone else's ar-e for so long in every major sporting event, it's great to see major champions from other brands win for a change.
Bonuses
Intently was laid off. Will Nike be giving out bonuses this year and do laid off employees receive bonuses?
What percentage of those working in GT are engineers?
Engineers vs non-engineering background breakdown, does anyone know?
