Is C-suite in the business of running us to the ground?
Given all the choices they’ve made recently, I am very suspect of their declared intention to turn the ship around. If they really want to, they’re not doing a great job.
Is anyone putting in full effort anymore?
I'm just going through the motions until this whole mess gets sorted out and I can figure out where I stand. I know chances are good it will never get sorted out, but I don't care. My new motto is "give back exactly how much you get." And Nike is... — read more

Found an opportunity outside Nike, Does Nike do an exit interview ?
I found an opportunity outside Nike, Does Nike do an exit interview ? If yes, can you request if you can have it with HR instead of Manager ?
I wonder
Is the reason SEC is so expensive because everyone was made a director or sr director? A director should not be working incidents. A sr director should not be leading status calls. A vp should not be giving incident updates. Talk about bloated... — read more
Judging by the amount of negative and bullying comments on this site
The amount of people who berate others, insult, leave negative and sarcastic comments, complain about DEI and other stuff... Just confirms why Nike is a big high school full of bullies who are unhappy with their existence.... DISGUSTING

Nike is dead but it just isn't aware of it yet
The leadership, products, innovation, and people are all a disaster - and even the brand itself has lost its luster. This is not a company that fell into a slump and is waiting to wake up and take its rightful place again. This is a company on its... — read more
