Let’s see the responses.
Promotions?
Has your team promoted anyone in the past year? Mine hasn’t had any in over a year.
Even basic mgmt is a challenge these days
That’s what happens when you lay off so many people wholesale without a general idea of what you actually want to achieve. I don’t know how your team looks like, but mine feels like it’s missing at least half of the workforce necessary to complete... — read more
Nike is now circling the drain
We have been focusing on all the wrong things instead of what we're good at and what were always our main money-makers. What has to happen for the company to realize that we need to return to our roots? I'm not holding my breath that It'll happen any... — read more
I wonder what JD does…
…as he wakes up in the morning to prepare for another day of hard work? What’s his internal monologue like?
3-2 hybrid model
Heard from someone in touch with a reliable source that 3-2 hybrid model is going to be back from Jan with Mon Tue and Wed as anchor days. Apparently one of the 4 things going to be done after disastrous employee survey results. This won’t help me... — read more
Speakup Portal is a Sham!
Has anyone had any success with speakup portal ? I have seen no response for weeks. Any other options ? The company has just checked a box of some government law to have a portal for reporting , no follow-up from anyone for the inaction.
Should have taken the package
My fault for picking the wrong decision, and it’s cost me the severance package and my mental health.
Nike's culture
What happened to Nike's culture? How did we go from a place I was proud to say I work for to the toxic mess we have now?
Global Tech Burnout
I've been here more than 15 years. I'm so burnt out in tech. 50 different departments all developing their own roadmaps without talking to others. Shoddy implementations excused. No buy-in from leaders on practically anything. Bickering and... — read more

From the outside
I periodically drop by to see if maybe, just maybe JD, HON, MM, MF’er have gotten what is coming to them. This crew has allowed Nike to spiral into the abyss, but alas, they are still collecting their millions while others worry about their safety... — read more
Business of Fashion
BoF fully speculating on JDs imminent firing. I heard a rumor from the top that he was going to be out before the quarterly results. But JD is a true corporate limpet, and the old man with the only functioning crowbar is cognitively challenged, so... — read more
NO JDI DAY CONFIRMED
don’t think it would be appropriate, doesn’t feel good either
Nike is a completely different company now
And definitely not a better one. Nike’s been changing over the years, but since the last layoffs it has become a completely different animal. I’ve been here for quite a while now, adapting to all new phases, subtle or radical changes, good and bad... — read more

Nike HR & Layoff.com - collaborating?
Is Nike HR and layoff.com collaborating together? everytime there is a post on here that is someone controversial or criticizes the HR policies of Nike, it is taken down faster than Mao's CCP shuts down an disenter. I thought this was a free... — read more
How is the exit experience?
I got an offer I'm considering accepting, and now I'm mostly interested to know if there's an exit interview after you give your notice or not. There are so many things I'd have to say about the reasons for leaving and I wonder if I'll be given a... — read more
Laid off this year, cobra deadline 9/3?
Anyone know what the cobra deadline of 9/3 is for those on severance? Received something in email, and not sure if it’s for extending beyond 2024, or part of current package. I emailed people solutions, but they didn’t have information. Thanks — read more
I finally hit pay dirt!
I survived the latest LR. However, after everything I witnessed then and realized soon afterwards there’s no future in Nike, I started looking for another job. I was patient, went well beyond the industry, and it finally paid off. The offer I just... — read more
Huali Factory wins Maxim for Ki-ling the Dunk
How ironic! The cheapest factory group in the world starts making an icon, quality erodes, consumers notice, and they win?
Thread on DEI was deleted so reposting
Reposting @mrw+1tCguGtp “The issue is that Nike linked executive compensation to achieving highly ambitious DEI goals, which led leaders to make decisions primarily to maximize their own pay. While diversity itself is not the problem, these... — read more
Cognizant - Bedrock is complete failure
Bedrock driven by cognizant is wasting enormous money of Nike and big time failure project!Instead of doing layoff to save costs, Bedrock needs to be ended asap!
Re: autumn layoffs rumors
Ofc there will be more. Do you see Nike turning around with these people in charge? I don’t. After so many competent people being laid off or leaving on their own? It’s not going to happen. What’s left for the clueless leadership to do in order to... — read more
Being managed out
After the gaslighting started with my FY24 mid-year review and given completely unreasonable x-functionally dependent objectives to complete by EY, I’ve been put on PIP. I’m well aware I’m done, but is there any chance of a package where I get at... — read more
Where do you apply for jobs?
A friend told me he goes directly to company websites, looks for their careers sections, and applies for jobs from there. He said he got more interviews like that than any other way. I never tried it. I use primarily Indeed and I haven't had much... — read more
NCA’s
I know most of those let go did not get theirs enforced, although a know a few that did. I’m close to getting another job offer and I’m sure my VP, who did a power grab during the reorg, will probably push to enforce it just to be spiteful. Has... — read more
Layoffs coming again?
I heard a rumor this week that layoffs may be coming again this Fall. Anyone else hearing anything?
Is GT project Bedrock a success?
It's been quite some time since we began the Bedrock project in collaboration with Cognizant. They had assured us of automation and innovation and Nike management was thrilled about this transition. It also marked the last deal from THE RAT... — read more
Increase in ETW postings for roles they fired people
Just weird. And sad. Knowing friends that were let go and knowing they are trying to backfill for less pay. I feel crazy every day I’m still here.

Wellness week comes to a close
Genuinely curious, did you have more than five emails in your inbox? I sure did. Fire-drills don’t care about wellness week. Even if I did only have 5 emails, not sure I’d be bragging about it on linked in. Wellness week is about the optics and not a... — read more
Nike lost its mojo
Now you can replace everyone and nothing will change. That’s why they are fumbling around. They managed to destroy what made Nike a Nike, and whatever they do now will not make real Nike come back. Layoffs were just plain stupid and didn’t change... — read more
President of consumer product and brand to be ejected from role
We all know who are we taking about. She’s finally being shown the door and major lawsuits are coming as well. Retailers are coming after Nike now for the failed DTC strategy and so they have no choice but to get rid of her. THANK THE LORD THIS DAY... — read more
Naive question but really curious
