I know it depends on your job grade and tenure but does anybody know how to calculate it for grades 45 and 50? My partner and I are trying to figure out where we will be financially if we lose our jobs next week.

Per document uploaded in OR WARN database yesterday, it looks like 740 WHQ employees were/will be impacted by phase one and two.

There should be an HBS case study documenting Nike’s fall and cultural erosion. It would make for great learning. Title it “From great to meh in 5 years”. It would be good learning from future managers on what not to do.

I have heard so many different things, does anyone know if meeting requests will go out by a certain time each day or are we expected to just be staring at our inbox all day? I heard from a few people they would all be sent by 10am can anyone with... — read more 

Hello! Does anyone know what happens to ESPP contributions if we get laid off? Do we just get reimbursed? Or will we receive discount stock?

Hi, want to distract myself and try to minimize thinking about what’s gonna happen next week. Any recommendations on TV series to binge on?

In a few years time, I expect to see a book about life at Nike from 2019-2025. Anybody documenting this?

I’ve been at Nike almost 20 years (currently a senior Director) and the last five have been dedicated to fixing internal problems, observing our leaders display anything but leadership defined behaviors, and watching what was left of our amazing... — read more 

Do you get unemployment even if you take the severance?

They are and have been negative even before this sh-t. Don't feed the bottom feeders. Let them go through their own truth. Don't let them bring you down into a more negative state. Narcissism: selfishness, involving a sense of entitlement, a lack... — read more 

"I'm at the Pizza Hut." Wut? "I'm at the Taco Bell." Naw. "I'm at [NKE under JD] the Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell"

Just curious if anyone was laid off today?

And this my friends, is what happens when Nike is not run by a Shoedog but a Showdog: Passion Vs. Getting Rich Culture Vs. Emptiness Playing offensively Vs. Playing Defensively Win at Pace Vs. Stuck in the Mud Execution Vs. Storytelling Energy... — read more 

Anyone else have an absolutely dead inbox and not updates on any exits around them today? I heard most exits and demotions were happening today, and would be completely (demotion decisions) by Monday. Anyone else hear that? Feels like there was... — read more 

"Nike plans to lay off 740 employees at its world headquarters in Beaverton by June 28, according to a notice the footwear and apparel giant sent to state officials." This is roughly 1 in 14 who will "sacrifice everything" because they "believed in... — read more 

I’ll try my best not to think too much about what’s gonna happen next week (I know, easier said than done) and maybe go to the coast or something to distract myself.

....instead of blowing up JD at the next "all employee meeting" zoom in the chat, NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY, showed up. I know the peons can't see how many folks are on the call but you can damn well bet that JD and the SLT know. Since Nike likes... — read more

And he calls it mercy. Who TF gave him the infinity stones anyway?

"As mentioned in a global note to employees" I assume they're talking about JD's note? Don't they normally just say that? But now they don't want to say his name. They must really want to hide him. Or this is just part of a transition.. And why is... — read more 

Sending out a promo for sales today is diabolical.

Sorry. Couldn’t help me self.

What areas are seeing invites pop up today? Guessing GT will be late next week, just to extend the agony of working in this sarlacc of an org a tiny bit more. People of a certain age may remember this pit-like creature from Return of the Jedi... — read more 

Invite from my VP for today. I feel totally unprepared for this conversation no matter what the news is, but my gut tells me it’s bad. Best of luck to you all.

The chefs kiss to this mess is the pound of flesh servant leader sending the WFH email behind a ELT group message. The ceo is a loser.

[..] Nvidia is doing fairly well. It has grown by 225%, from $678.42B in April 2020 to $2.20T as of April 2024, and is now one of the three most valuable companies in the world. And, it has done so fully remotely... — read more 

I found this out only yesterday, and was confused why there was no formal communication. But if you go back to “The Path Ahead FAQ” on workvivo, they updated it with information yesterday. They advise all teams to work remote if they are WHQ based... — read more 

Bob Slydell: You see, what we're actually trying to do here is, we're trying to get a feel for how people spend their day at work... so, if you would, would you walk us through a typical day, for you? Peter Gibbons: Yeah. Bob Slydell: Great. Peter... — read more 

JD and his minions working overtime in a panic to decide if WFH next week is the way to go. Timing wise, what a big swing and a miss for his PR team to release comments about us not being “disruptive” working from home. Not surprising, as this is a... — read more 

I’m sad for you. I’m sad for me. I’m sad for my team. This just doesn’t feel like Nike. I love everyone on my team and I love everyone here at Nike. I’m so happy to be here and I hope everyone stays safe. My gut tells me I’m gone, and I’ll find... — read more

Get ready. This forum is about to pickup some steam again.. It’ll be sad, it’ll be angry, they’ll be some fighting and stupid things said.. things will get heated and they’ll be some funny comments to lighten the mood. We’ll laugh, we’ll cry, we... — read more 

Will we still able to utilize the balance of our health & wellness benefits, if we were let go on coming Monday ? Or advice is to quickly submit the claims before Monday?

It's madness. Mostly it's just so confusing - my team has no idea what the actual recommendations are because we haven't gotten any of the geo emails, but because of the matrix I work with multiple VPs who are all saying slight variations of what to... — read more 

We had assumed JD would communicate at some point but instead we've just spent all this time anxiously waiting for information. We don't know whether Cathy's email about WHQ applies to us or not. Our boss seems distracted too -- it's all just so... — read more
