I wish one of these big law firms would go after them and teach them and the employment law team a lesson. People speak up and next thing you know they are managed out, fired or laid off. I just learned about a former colleague who was terminated... — read more
Noncompete enforced, really?
Anyone else get notified their noncompete is being enforced? Saying I have to tell them where I take a job. Realize they are just about unenforceable but WTH?
A telling and pretty bad quote by JD in the press...
By way of explaining why the last few years have focused on AF1/AJ1/Dunk (and not new innovation), JD is quoted in Fast Company as saying: “We don’t apologize for exploiting sneaker culture”. I’m not a JD hater (I tend to think that the hate he... — read more
Read the room
I have seen this a few times this week… not to mention it’s always HR ppl getting promoted. Now might not be the best time to brag about your new promotion at Nike while every other post is someone being laid off. Glad they could shift that budget... — read more
What’s causing Nikes struggle
Besides the factors which we blame in our earnings call such as lack of innovation, cutting off too many wholesale partners, macroeconomy… I’m curious to hear what you think may be contributing which hasn’t gathered as much public attention. Prefer... — read more
LT Post Reorg yawn meetings

Post Reorg Learnings
Every day the transition changes, the communication is terrible. Learned one of our APD VPs has a history of badgering employees behind closed doors. She already wore one director out last year, fired another in the reorg, now shes picking new... — read more
What does DH's org deliver?
Lot of people with fancy words in their job titles. Strategy, transformation, modernization. What are their deliverables, other than attending meetings.
Bring back food in Dan Fouts
Trying to sell sunglasses where burritos used to be is weird and embarrassing. It looks so cheap.
this is ur prblm
Yeah this is your problem. TAKE OWNERSHIP in your layoff. Ask yourself. ''What was my role in this?!'' OR do you just want to be a victim? I mean ... Your choice!!!
What does the NAO do anyways ?
Seems like a bunch of glorified project managers Also lots of “Karen” energy in the leadership ranks. What do they even do ?
These Boots are made Walking….
Found this telling on so many levels…..from Fast Company (you’d think she’d swoosh up for an interview at the very least.) “Heidi O’Neill, the company’s president of consumer, product, and brand, sits in front of a window, seven stories high in... — read more
Negotiate severance?
Anyone else considering this before signing?
Failing NKE? One answer
Strategy. John destroyed the category offense and that was our foundation of growth rooted in sport. Crippling move…. CDA was the worst pivot = negative net growth.
Who else is overloaded after the layoffs?
Lost 4 team members! Their work load became my work load! Lol 😆 I have not had a chance to eat lunch during the day since we are back from layoffs!

Retirement Benefits?
Does Nike offer any retirement incentives? What are the requirements for eligibility? Searching the HR website and coming up with nothing. I recall there used to be some kind of point system for “Gold Badge” status, is that at all related? Been here... — read more
Has the Q4 Earnings Call Been Scheduled Yet?
Shouldn’t it be next week? I don’t see anything online yet.

Do kids care? Maybe a better question - who is our consumer in 2024?
Completely sensible threads being removed
There was a thread making completely sensible and respectful criticisms of Nike’s implementation of DEI which was removed. What the fu-k??? It had like a net +20 upvotes.
Lay off question
For us who are laid off week of Apr 22, when can we expect our severance payout? Do we have to pay for Cobra? Thanks!
All that's left is a Nest of Vipers
The aftermath of these RIFs is that all the nice people are gone and the gossiping has gone from 2 to 11 on a dial that stops at 10. Everyone is trying to dig dirt on everyone so that they don't get cut. People throwing each other under the bus left... — read more
Anyone have a clue as to the new structure?
Half my team is gone, and I still have no clue what or where I'll be working in the future, no manager, etc. We're just chugging along, doing the same work with paid external people now taking the place and work of the people who were let go. When... — read more

I hate having Nike on my resume
It used to be a point of pride. Now it's a point of shame.
Psychological safety
JD & MM, zoom isn’t the culprit, RTO isn’t the answer. Psychological safety is the key to innovation. Nike’s culture is toxic and Retaliatory. There is so much fear and distrust, how can we innovate? Please create an environment where everyone feels... — read more
There will be year end celebration
first thing they do after layoff is spending money
How is JD still employed?
How is JD still employed? Stock price is the metric by which ceos are measured. Well the stock is flat over five years and down 50 percent off the five year high. Would you keep a fund manager makes no gains when there is 4-5 percent inflation per... — read more

What is Nike policy on a second job, part time job?
My wife is unable to work and I am the bread winner for our family of 5 now. I can't and don't want to risk it with having Nike as our only source of income considering how they have treated people. I have been offered a part time job for weekends... — read more
We are about to lose a S#$@! load of talent
Mo, You are about to lose some of the best talent at Nike after the last 2 waves, you know for the most part these weren't done thoughtfully. A bain spreadsheet exercise with only a very few who have signed up to the NDA is not going to cut it. BUt... — read more

Nike Vets, this is the question for you
Since I have joined Nike a few years ago, I have witnessed two layoffs and also a bunch of random firing outside of the layoffs or re-org. After losing almost 5 coworkers in the past 2 years due to "firing for violation company policy" and at least 6... — read more
