Topics regarding layoffs at Nike Inc.

Corporate Echo Chamber

Nike is a soul draining place. These so called leaders make decisions in a vacuum, just to stay in corporate’s good graces and climb the ladder. They talk like they know what they’re doing, but they’re flying blind. No original thought, just mindless... — read more 

Consultants ruin nike

This Lars B person that wrote the article about consultants ruining Nike and posted on LinkedIn. He’s half right, but only blames Bain. He totally forgot the hundreds of millions that Accenture su-ked out of Nike. The VP’s responsible are still here... — read more 

When’s HON getting fired?

Nike cannot move forward until O’Neil is fired. EH is doing a good job but she needs to go, preferably yesterday, and with zero severance. Don’t shut the door on your way out.

Tariffs

What do they mean for Nike? Any ideas on how this will impact us?

IDSA

Have there been improvements yet?

S-x Discrimination

There will be exposure for Nike if they ever pull HR emails talking in code ‘ this position is for female talent ’ . Aka ‘we are hiring not on talent but discriminating against the law based on s-x’. Hopefully these behaviours will now stop and... — read more 

5 Days A Week!

Hearing that everyones savior, EH is on the 5 days a week in the office train! Get ready for the return to the office. This is the first step to EH saving the company, or will he.

Nike has no reason to exist

There are plenty of other places to buy cr-ppy Chinese-made hoodies and t-shirts online. If you are one of the 0.5% of humans who actually exercise by running or walking slightly rapidly, there are many other brands of shoes better suited to this... — read more 

DEI Means You Lose

And unlike the rest of the country, Nike clearly isn't tired of losing yet. NKE Stock price is $73USD, near its Covid stock market crash lows, even though the M2 Money Supply has increased by 24% since then. That means NKE stock is literally worth... — read more

Waiting to see some retirement emails…..

You can’t send a video to all 70k employees saying if we work hard we “might” get last years cr-ppy bonus. Company direction decisions are made by 200 leaders max. The rest of us work hard in the daily grind every day and have no direct influence on... — read more 

Performance 🤣

There is no real authority within the current organization. A company that fails to compete or deliver results cannot claim to be an arbiter of performance. Nike lacks the industry tact it needs, and consumers see through it. Employees no longer... — read more

How does HON still have a job?

How in the world does HON still have a job? HON has cost the company BILLIONS in lost sales and she was part of the internal mafia that pushed DTC, silenced and fired dissenting opinions, and brazenly told retailers we would be walking away from them... — read more 

Nike Stock

Thanks JD. Some real shareholder value you delivered. MF we couldn’t have done it without you either. This much incompetence in one room should be illegal, and that’s before VA enters.. never mind him though, he’s still learning the suppy part of... — read more 

SG HEAD OF DTC

Remove the Layers

Nike needs to remove all the consultant speak, 100 page decks that go nowhere, woke, DEI, bad management etc etc and go back to prioritising brilliance, innovation and speed where ever or whomever it comes from. Back the American dream at its best. ... — read more

Six months of dedicated job search, and still nothing

I’m completely demoralized. After the last round of layoffs, I realized they’re likely to become more frequent and will be less about performance and skills, and more about cost-cutting. I wanted to be prepared. Six months later, and I have nothing... — read more

What are you doing?

Just a rant: I moved teams during last year's reorganization. Over time, I have realized how toxic this current team is. The leadership has no clue, and the director I report to is not qualified for this role. The senior director has no direction... — read more

Paid resume services

Has anyone tried any of the paid services that help with resumes? Did it make a difference? I’m getting a bit discouraged after not getting any callbacks, so I’m thinking I might need some professional help. But I don’t want to waste my money if it’s... — read more 

Bye Claire

Great run, but paying millions to an exec to provide jobs at Nike for retired athletes should be a non profit. Can we please keep cutting millions in salaries for long term high execs that are not contributing to growth and get the stock up so those... — read more

Such A Bummer

Yes, EH will be great but tough to look at stock in the 70’s and bear tough financial reports for the foreseeable future. Electing JD to lead for so long and taking our focus off product was such a huge impactful mistake. Our stock should have split... — read more

Ecstatic about any chance to avoid work
