Same as before or has something changed?
Good luck today
Some of us are hoping to be selected for layoffs. Others desperately need the job right now - I hope they get spared. Whatever happens, I hope we all come out of this better off.
I'm prepared
I don't want to be laid off, far from it. But with so many layoffs in the last few years, I made sure to prepare for the possibility, which makes today just a bit less stressful. At some point, it became clear that it's a mater of when and not if... — read more
JD was better, EH is cringe
The way layoffs are being conducted, especially Global Tech being singled out for layoffs, makes me feel JD was much better at-least for tech. Neither has EH the intelligence to understand tech nor the vision on how to leverage tech for future... — read more
How are people usually notified?
Should I be checking for an email or a meeting invite? Or a phone call?
Layoffs to Streamline?
Every freaking time a new leader comes among with grand new ideas, but they all end up the same. They fall and we suffer and then they take early retirement with a fat wad of cash! Even if we survive the layoffs, our faith in the system and our... — read more
I see plenty of us are wide awake ahead of tomorrow
My only hope is that they'll wrap it up in one day so we can move on, whatever the result is. Sometimes I feel like this waiting game is worse for my mental health than learning I was laid off would be. At least then I could take some action instead... — read more
Pretty sure my number will be called tomorrow…
Been here many many years and am currently in GT. Until 5 years ago I always worked for a kick a-s sports company, not a corporation. The old boys network built it and it was great (I’m female) and can be great again. Unfortunately GT leaders do not... — read more
Contractors are always safe..
There are people working from Canada in WHQ hours..
I know, I know….
Anyone kind enough to post the severance by years and job level again or where to find them? Thanks
Leaders
If you’re a leader at Nike who has overseen multiple rounds of layoffs over the last several years, maybe you’re not the leader this company needs.
“Please WFH This Week” - MD
So it begins.
Layoffs start tomorrow?
Is that confirmed? It’s hard to navigate through the sea of rumors.
Layoffs
Any news? There was talk about June, what happened with that?
Get ready for more reorg and cuts
The upcoming earnings report won’t be good. Raising prices due to tariffs, while people are spending less out of fear of economic turmoil, has only added to the troubles we’ve been facing for a while. Our products no longer stand out enough to make... — read more
Nike skips corporate responsibility report for first time in 6 years

Can you ask for a package
If yes, who decides? Your VP, SD or HRBP? I’m mentally exhausted and have about 6 months of savings. I know it’s a risky move but I think it’s the right thing to do to focus on my health.
IDSA on chopping block ?
IDSA and consumer got hit hard last time. Do we expect to get hit again this time. I’m sweating given the real estate market and job market!
What’s the timing of it all
Reorg, names being put in boxes… when do we see the roll out? Post earnings? Pre wellness week? Or just a slow trickle of moves behind the scenes
I gave up
I’m no longer expecting anything to improve. I’ll just do what I’m supposed to, and nothing more. There’s no reason at all to invest any extra effort.
Any Updates/Layoff ( recent news) IDSA
Everyday day i am listening to some rumours 3 domains formed in GT and we align to that They do reduction (all Orgs) and then they merged to GT Some news will come on 10/11/12 of this month Some major Update will come in 16th anyone... — read more
The holy trifecta
I’m constantly overworked, which is stressing me out, which is leaving me completely burnt out. I don’t know how the rest of you are handling this, but I’m at the end of my rope. Quiet quitting is starting to sound more and more appealing if I want... — read more
Stop y’all bi--hing
I’ve been at Nike a long time; even at its worst Nike is way better than a lot of jobs I worked before I found Nike. Most of you have no idea how sh---y some companies actually are. Don’t get me wrong, Nike has its faults. But this is nothing. QYB =... — read more
Every leader who actually understood this business is gone
What’s left are yes-men and spreadsheet warriors. Sad.
Job security’s a joke now
These days I act like my job could vanish tomorrow because it could. I keep six months of savings, stay sharp, and check job boards every month. Not because I’m dying to leave, but because I won’t get blindsided. Layoffs aren’t about performance... — read more
Cool Brand, Cold Career Path
We are riding high on the brand’s legacy and cool factor, while quietly trading career growth and fair pay for hope, nostalgia, and the dream of finally being “seen.” All in swoosh-shaped denial. It’s like being stuck in a long-term relationship... — read more
How is EH?
What’s your opinion folks? Is he any good?
Speculation on GBM Restructuring...
With GBM Functions already being deployed to new roles and project assignments while the brand team members are left in the dark, what's the over/under on Project Teams being the distraction from a broader re-org this summer? This new project... — read more
GT restructuring in talks
Significant layoffs and a complete restructuring of the GT team are currently being discussed. This shift is expected to be even more substantial than the changes seen in the CF team. While this news may be unsettling, it's important to stay... — read more
Such a chaotic experience
Working at Nike feels like being on a ship where every officer is steering in a different direction. One quarter it's all about customer experience, the next we're slashing staff to cut costs, the next it's all about innovation but not really. The... — read more
Is this the week for FTE purge in GT?
Just get it over with. Rip off the bandage and move on. This constant anxiety is wearing all of us down.
Is the ETW purge in GT over?
I am the title, fully expected to get the chop last Friday. Shocked I didn’t and frankly, wasn’t going to be mad if I did: my years here have been a stressful mind f**k. Are the layoffs still happening for GT? I have read here that last Friday would... — read more
This is the real issue
The leadership is small circle of friends who protect each other and shuts down any good ideas. This hits the nail on the head and this is what's been ruining Nike for the past several years (and then some).
Cuts to GT GETS
Anyone think we need some big changes in that part of tech? What is that team even doing? It seems disconnected, poorly run, and the contractors are scared all the time that they will get fired.
Stay away from HR
HR isn’t there for employees, no matter what they claim. They exist to protect the company. Learned that the hard way after reporting an issue and getting sidelined. Don't make the same stupid mistake I did.
Which domains in GT had ETW cuts this week?
I heard there were extensive cuts to ETW contracts this week. Which domains were impacted? This was not the usual end-of-year baloney. I know of a few people who were just hired and then cut this week. GT leadership doesn't know how to plan and... — read more
EH should meet with the workers from Indonesia
Wouldn't it be such a human thing if EH met with the workers who traveled from Indonesia? It would send a strong message that we care. (In addition to looking into and making changes to their wages.)
What’s the tea on JH?
Another big dog “retiring.” Between his 33 years at Nike and the royalties he gets from Twilight and Lego (for use of his stunning house in the hills), he’s probably set for many lifetimes over. But he seems to have managed to stay out of all the... — read more
