Yo! Activity Based Work is a disaster. When are those who forced this on us going to give it up and admit it is a FAIL, brah? Desk battles ensue every day. I dont get to sit with or work with the people I need to. Folks who can't get in super early... — read more 

Announcement coming this week. It had to be in phases, but it’s coming.

I heard that CS is stepping into a new role involving worldwide expansion in emergency markets whilst APLA is absorbed into existing geos.

Is that it’s essentially privately owned by PK and his family. And operated with archaic rules that wouldn’t hold in any regular corporation. So regardless of all of us shareholders voting, the BOD ultimately executes what PK wants. Are you all not... — read more 

This CFO is incredulous. he is laughable, he is just plain not smart. I've been in several meetings with him and he is not the right guy. Neither is his number 2. she has openly mocked finance colleagues, lacks leadership and doesn't even have the... — read more 

Job family: merchandising and product. How much could someone push for a 35 vs 40 in this space?

The tremendous value of the NCAA Football media rights, and the Athletic IP of the top 60 Universities in America, is being ravaged by a collection of Interests, that are focused on preserving their status quo, and not improving, and preserving the... — read more 

Looks like Nike is ditching performance innovation and going all-in on viral influencer collabs. We’re cutting the R&D budget by 65% and shifting that money toward influencer partnerships—because why spend millions on better shoes when a TikTok star... — read more 

I agree 10000% with this response to a post on LinkedIn to the Nike/Skims collab. Where amongst other things the post mentioned in was a year in the making (which I get) but a decision that was made before EH came on board and should be have been... — read more 

Serious question! Who here believes in their leadership team and in which part of the company are you in? I’m in GSM and I can’t say that our leadership team has a strategy or knows how to achieve it.

It’s no surprise the Nike brand doesn’t have the same impact it used to.

but (get it) how do you all feel about this new collaboration? The market seemed to like it? Do you think this was a good move for us or do you think we’re just grasping for the wind? On a side note… Ye or whatever he goes by now, must be steaming... — read more 

You can't complete, so compete You can't win, so win Rather than motivating, they confuse by contradicting themselves without offering clarity or purpose . It feels like a riddle with no solution. Motivation should ignite belief, not bewilderment... — read more

For those in marketing who choose to lead with fear, remember fear only produces behavioral compliance, it degrades self-motivation and stifles creativity and morale. Find balance with respect, rigor and encouragement is vital for sustainable... — read more 

I heard that there have been, or are going to be soon, in person only meetings for directors and senior directors. Anyone know what the topic is? Hopefully nothing bad.

Word is that layoffs are coming and if you got that email it’s Nikes way of tracking your assets before they lay you off. Otherwise a random audit… simply to confirm you’re still using your laptop is……odd?

Eh was around when people could speak out and drive change and challenge the norm. The leaders we have in place are scared and gutless and are used to leading under JD. Unless EH makes some changes to leadership, the same culture continues. If he... — read more 

When will Nike break free from the status quo and drive real change? When will Nike take ownership of its future, not just react to the present? When will Nike appoint leaders who take risks instead of just saying yes? When will Nike prioritize... — read more 

Hiring a Hot Dog vendor, Aramark, to run things is insane. The new General Manager has been fired from multiple "AV" companies in the Portland/Vancouver metro area. Completely unqualified due to his lack of knowledge and experience for the role he is... — read more 

Nike is an incredible brand. It’s fun, it’s cool, and people respect you just for being associated with it. That’s precisely why so many get trapped here, thinking they’re building a great career when, in reality, they’re stalling it. I’ve worked at... — read more

The commercial and campaign is what we did years ago when it was edgy. If we’re banking our comeback on the pegs, do a commercial about the pegs. Do a commercial about how we messed up and saturated the market with Jordan 1’s. Do something cutting... — read more 

Our product innovation pipeline has run dry. Something I never thought I’d see from a company that once thrived on creativity and bold ideas. We used to lead in design and marketing, but lately, I haven’t seen anything fresh or exciting that truly... — read more 

We forgot to put “you can’t get pregnant” .. would have spiced it up.

Curious.

How does it matter whether Nike’s business gets better or not? Your manager remains the same, the culture remains the same, the leadership will be the same, you will get 1-5% increments each year, no career development. The list goes on.

Nike talks a big game about culture and empowerment, but when it comes to supporting employees, their HR/People Solutions team is a joke. Instead of advocating for employees, they seem more focused on protecting leadership. Workplace complaints?... — read more

I might not like the company or what it has become, but I give credit where it’s due. That was good - really good.

Unpopular opinion: EH doesn’t have the guts to make the bold moves necessary for Nikes rebound. Yes, our issues are deep rooted and recovery will take time, but it starts with the personnel on his leadership team. Knowing EH, I don’t think he has the... — read more 

Does anyone know when headcounts, promotions, reorgs, and all that get decided after the AOP phase?

Just last week the stock had some bounce in its step. Hit 78 on 2.4. Now it’s dropped 10 points. Options underwater. ESPP no longer attractive even with a discount. 401k’s. How do you keep talent, let alone recruit talent when the value of the... — read more

https://www.wsj.com/real-estate/luxury-homes/home-renovation-in-portland-oregon-c388b565?mod=itp_wsj This is a bad look when your company has been laying off thousands of people. At least she wore Nikes in her picture.

Our very mediocre chief people Officer announced her very mediocre newly formed leadership team. She has brought back her favorite back stabbers. This is worse than MM era

Anyone else notice the VPs and SDirs mysteriously absent lately (past two weeks)? Locked in offices or conference rooms? Reorg coming? In GT
