I survived but it is not as if things got back to normal. I want to know what others are experiencing in their teams? Is it only me being paranoid and anxious despite the fact I survived? Suddenly everyone feels nervous and roles and... — read more
What is “the berm”
And why does everyone keep referring to Nike as “the berm” on LinkedIn
ETW. Manager got moved.
Asking for someone who is an ETW. Smaller dept, team is also mostly ETWs. Manager got moved to another category. Currently in these situations do they let the whole team go?
North America
Any updates for the geo?
Why ETW's are needed?
Why do we have so many ETW's when company is struggling with budget and going through layoff? Isn't it right time to say good bye to all ETW by June? #MassLayoffETW #SayNOToETW

Accountability NOT JD’s thing
And his narrative is cascading throughout Nike and now it’s external. Brand image taking a hit. Saying he owns the downfall but not willing to accept responsibility. Not innovating due to hybrid work, gimme a break!!!! Just desperation at this... — read more
NSRL open head count
Hey great to see open positions that Nike is trying to fill…. But WTAF? The NSRL just let go of multiple, dedicated, intelligent employees with plenty of experience who could be filling these positions and would’ve had a great running start. It... — read more
Any Clues?
For those of you who have been part of the layoffs, in hindsight were there any clues that tipped you off? Or was this truly completely random?
"A sense of relief"
I talked to my coworker who was laid off yesterday and he told me he felt "a sense of relief" after it happened. He didn't want to be laid off, but he was relieved that he finally knew where he stood. He is now ready to start planning for the future... — read more

What is going on?
Empty buildings, empty cubes..:
Seriously. Lots of empty buildings and cubes but so called leaders still hiding behind closed doors. At least face the reality and walk around talking to the people. Walking with your head down and ignoring people just makes you a more ignorant... — read more
When does it end
I seen a job posted on the Nike careers site it was for activation consultant and it says is responsible for alignment on delivering employee conversations during activation. It I think like this job is for the purpose of laying off constantly???
Severance Question
Just looking to know if any could share some non personal details regarding the severance they round. I luckily made it through, but can’t seem to shake the uneasy feelings that the company is giving me right now. My hope is that knowing what it... — read more
Is APLA really dissolving and CS moving to NA?
I see lots of threads about this but CS just presented this week in the APLA all hands. Is this confirmed?
“I can’t stop thinking about those affected by Nike layoffs…”
I swear to god if I see one more post like this on LinkedIn I am going to eat my own hair. If you know people who were impacted by layoffs, REACH OUT TO THEM DIRECTLY. Offer condolences and support. Be a reference or offer to buy them a drink when... — read more
Thank you Nike
I got laid off last week after 15 years. 5 great years in Product Marketing followed by 3 years in Finance and the rest in WD &C which was weird with constant changes and lots of incompetent reptiles promoted because of who they knew and not their... — read more
MPO - Supply chain
How was MPO impacted in the second fase? Which departments / roles were the most hit?
Don't be surprised when more turbulence hits
If you think this is over, you're in for a rude awakening.
It gets better
I left Nike voluntarily about a decade ago and my career flourished in a way that was never possible at Nike. Others pay better and offer very similar benefits. Other employers promote on merit and proven performance rather than on your brown nosing... — read more
Too much Innovation? MLB flop!
Innovation is only part of the Nike recipe. Design and Marketing are two other key pillars. But what happens when you innovate and don’t need to? Did this MLB uniform flop happen because of working from home? Or what’s the excuse/reason for... — read more
MBL and consumer direct
Is she doing well? Do people like her? What is the DTC strategy now?! Cheers
Only at Nike
Once again, good and hardworking employees were given pink slips while bad and lazy employees were given promotions, raises, and bonuses. When people ask you what's going on with Nike and why it is sinking so fast, you can just tell them that. It... — read more
I'm struggling with my hate of Nike
I survived this round, but I'm angry. I was as--ulted and nothing was done about it. I've been sitting in silence and anger. Was that the reason I wasn't impacted? I can't talk to anyone about this. I feel disgusting and dirty. I am so mad at Nike... — read more
No extension of ETW contracts after June?
If rumours are to be believed, there is strong probablity that all ETW contracts wont be extended after June!!! Good luck ETW's , its time to search for new clients or projects!!!!
Got my paystub for final check (5/3) but no severance -- is that a separate payment?
I reviewed my severance package letter but it has no details other than that I will receive it on May 3. I just checked ADP and my final paystub is there (two weeks pay + PTO), but no mention of severance. While I appreciate receiving severance at... — read more
NA
NA is a disaster. SU does not know what is happening and the HR VP MP has no idea what he is doing. When HR is engaged, he gives useless advice and leads SU further away from real issues. The LT is dysfunctional. CJ, SG, JK, MG all driving their own... — read more
Has anyone volunteer for layoff?
I was not given the option to take severance. I was offered a different team and dynamic only. I want to reach out to HR and see if I can volunteer for layoff in exchange of severance. Has anyone done it before? If so; how shall I approach this? I... — read more

Hey leaders
To all the leaders who may or may not been involved in the selection process, you can still be human. If you had a good relationship with your impacted employee or an employee in your org, it’s ok to show a little care and compassion. You don’t have... — read more
GPS
Its strange to see that GPS saw a bloodbath and now there are new roles advertised hiring at lower levels. The global VP lives and works out of AMS and his full leadership team was impacted, along with many others. The CFO doesn't understand what... — read more

When do we get our severance… I am confused. Anyone received theirs yet?
I’m sorry

Hey Tech Ops VP EC….
Why are we all forced to come into office when you aren’t? ATL is not where your team is. What gives? How about an “ask me anything” session where we can address this please.
Applying before layoff term date
What would happen if I apply and get hired for a different role within Nike before my term date is in effect? Will I lose my severance and get hired internally?
Don’t blame JD!
The JD hate makes no sense. He has made the company cleaner, more streamlined, and ready to take back the market! The stock will bounce back once his long game is really achieved! Look at yourselves for not being productive enough! Quit trying to... — read more
APLA will be no more
Part of the plan is collapsing APLA which never made sense anyway. LATAM new geo with DB leading and APAC led by AD. CS will lead NA and CG still EMEA.
Is it Over? When is JD exiting ?
Any updates on how far this layoff game will stretch and truly is it over for months? With ridiculously bad leadership is it okay to wish for JD’s exit?
I feel sick to my stomach
I thought I wouldn't dread work anymore once layoffs were over. Apparently, I thought wrong.
