I thought I wouldn't dread work anymore once layoffs were over. Apparently, I thought wrong.
Merch and DSM Structure
Hi all, I feel sorry for the ones who were let go and hope everyone feels better soon. As a colleague working in EMEA, i am curies to know how Merch and DSM roles were affected in NA. Are there still roles existing in MPUs? Anything... — read more
Remote work "pilot"
Will this "pilot" come to an end? Remote people given a choice to RTO or take severance?
If you are a leader, be mellow this week. It's gonna be weird and hard.
Be chill, my friends. Be mellow. Not demanding. Not "bossy". It's gonna be weird. Peeps are gone. Things are new ... and not all in a good way. Give us some space. Be the good manager, not the a-hole manager. Pretty please, my friends.
I am so not looking forward to tomorrow's NSRL lunch
Just saying.... Managers seem to have entered push push push mode.. Their survival instinct has kicked in... My manager was decent but suddenly turned into a passive aggressive micro manager.... ugh... I wish the day grow long today. I am so not... — read more
When's the CTO gonna RTO?
Hint: never. She's a grifter. This "job" is just welfare for her, and the board is d-mb and corrupt enough to pay it. Guarantee that as soon as her share lockup is over, she dumps $10mil in stock, quits, and gets that senior job at AWS she really... — read more
Anyone idea of impact in ELC

When it all started going downhill
It wasn't covid, it was turnstiles!
Severence Package details
what does yours look like? want to make sure I'm not getting shafted. paid til end of June. 12 weeks severence bonus , entitled to PSP and PTO pay out. comes out to about 6 months covered.
Global Consumer Direct Retail Design hit hard I hear?
I'm sorry to those affected. Anyone have further insight? x
“It wasn’t performance based”
That was said during my call Monday by someone with zero and I mean ZERO compassion. Ok, so what the fu-k was the reason I lost my job?! Anyone else hear this line of steaming garbage?
Making it simple for alleged leadership..
A startup feel and mentality around product design and launch is generally a good thing. A startup feel and mentality around global technology in a Forbes 100 company is generally not a good thing. Fix both before its truly too late.
Don't do any extra work!
If your team was affected, I can guarantee you that you'll be expected to do the work that was done by your laid-off coworkers. This will be true even if you're already overloaded with your own work. Don't do it. Even if you do it just once because... — read more
I renamed my home wifi
It's now called "Nike Free".. :)
What happens if you are moved into a role you don’t want? Eligible for severance?
SD confirmed that I “still have a role, but it may look different”. No idea what this new role entails, but predicting it’s going to be taking on additional work with no change to comp. Only finding out next week. Are we eligible for severance if... — read more
Bonus
Do we still get the bonus if we were let go?
Dreading next week. My Dir is an over-driving spastic mess
I was hoping to be let go. Feeling so depressed to still be here. My already insecure, neurotic Dir who can't let anyone else shine has a new boss. This will kick the craziness and pressure into overdrive. Push, push, push. Micromanage... — read more
Strange people moves
This reorg bestowed upon us some head scratcher people moves. Maybe it’s just my function but it’s almost like people are being pushed to leave by being put in groups where they have don’t fit in or set up to fail by being given jobs beyond their... — read more
Attrition folks!!
If you were moved to another team or demoted JD wants you to leave, rent free. This saves him $200k on average/employee on severance costs. JD bets roughly 25% of you in this camp leave and Bain smiles to the bank. Reality. Do you make him happy... — read more
"That zoom call marked the end of my 38+ years as a Nike employee"
Not my story but just saw the post in Linkedin. Seriously Nike? this person should get a medal and maybe a building in her name, not a Zoom Call to end a career. We can do better. Hopefully, sooner than later, true leadership will make things right... — read more
Accent**e needs to go from Nike
I cannot believe the millions of dollars we pay for idiocy and paper pushers. It could have saved many FTEs from Nike had the consultants got chopped down. There are probably 10-15 good consultants in that cesspool of over 1000. Zero knowledge, zero... — read more
New twist on this round of layoffs
Not only was there the “you’re getting a demotion and/or moving to a new team—take it or leave it” (although at least they provided severance if you took option B) New twist: “Hey employee, we.re going to lay you off in a few months, but feel free... — read more
Has anyone tried to cash out their sabbatical hours in lieu of taking the time?
I did a quick search on the HR site but no article comes up detailing what percentage they would pay out and how much tax I would owe. This is assuming I stay on on board with intention to leave before Sept.
Geo restructure
New Geo structure will be as follows: NA (Beaverton) EMEA (Hilversum) APAC (Shanghai and Seoul) LATAM (Mexico City)
Supply Chain University
Had this course one year after I got hired, it was good, would be very beneficial if I did it when first on boarded, for someone didn’t come from shoes and apparel industry, I struggled so much in the beginning. With that said, I found it... — read more
Care benefits
Is anyone having the hardest time getting their reimbursement back after being laid off? It's been over a month now trying to get my money back and they keep saying my claims were cancelled and to talk to Nike Care claims. So frustrating.
Did I actually like NIKE or just drank the kool-aid as an employee.
After being let go, it dawned on me that I have cared less about NIKE clothing/shoes post high school. I was just buying gear and shoes because I got the discount. As an elder millennial, I actually rarely see anyone my age wear NIKE outside of a... — read more
They just shared the CPB org chart…
The lack of representation in leadership is astounding. Then again, it’s Nike — the leader in virtue signaling.
Guidance for next week?
I’m an ETW and have received no guidance or communication about this week or moving forward. My team was annihilated in round 1 and I’m still waiting on guidance regarding that. Do I show up Monday and just pretend to work like nothing ever... — read more
To all VPs and SDs holding Monday huddles
SAY SOMETHING REAL. Your people don’t trust you or this company anymore. WE NEED LEADERS. Wearing all black on Monday.
Good luck Nike!
4days since I’m let go, it’s been a very emotional few days. Although I do know we will all be forgotten by Monday, and life goes on for those who left and those who stayed. I do wish best of luck to my former team, they were awesome even though the... — read more
Good read from Ragan about Layoffs and comms

Next round
We all know it's coming. I'm just wondering how long it will take before they announce it. I'm hoping we'll get at least a good six months to recover from this last disaster but I know that's most likely just wishful thinking. I wish the job market... — read more
Missing severance pay
Does severance get paid in multiple chunks? I’m missing a significant amount of my notice pay portion and wondering if it’s a mistake or I need to call People Solutions.
Nike in 2025
Does it reach the DEI metrics for women and minorities in leadership that JD proclaimed when he took the job? How many layoffs needed?
Only cockroaches get ahead at this company!
There is no furture here. If you haven’t been sc--wed over yet, you will be eventually. Get out while you can! I speak from many years of experience.
Is it only my manager or anyone else noticed change?
My manager has been around 10+ years and seems a lot of his coworkers or peers were let go but he survived. Anyway, his behavior has changed a lot! Like he is on something! He has suddenly started being super active, initiating lots of new projects... — read more
