JL promoting a new role on his team on LinkedIn. Thankfully he is getting dragged a bit—people questioning why the required qualifications are so high when JL doesn’t even meet them. 😂

How are there zero details or information on Nikes severance offerings for these layoffs? Is it so bad that people are embarrassed to share? Most companies release details or there are numerous people sharing to the media at least some high level... — read more 

Some engineering teams are allowed to work remote while others have been asked to RTO. What's the logic here? They do same type of work. Many employees on these remote teams have moved to WA, NV, TX and FL where they pay no income taxes. Whereas... — read more 

I am newer to Nike and in a global role. Can someone explain why out of all the geos it is so much harder to work with NA than the others? It seems like there's just bad blood and I don't get it.

How many have been let go so far? How many are left to be laid off before the restructuring or reorganization or whatever they're calling this is finally over? How many more weeks or months do we have to wait until we no longer have to worry about... — read more 

In the last few years Nike has been quietly replacing tenured FTEs at WHQ and Global with outsourced non-FTE cheap labor from India, China, etc. Cheaper isn't always better! The outsourced labor are usually college kids looking for their next... — read more

Seems like more and more cheap labours are coming to Nike from Cognizant on contract. Sooner or later more FTE will be affected I guess.

I see and hear peeps mentioning this Friday and next week.

I have been here for 2 years and I am not sure if I can stay what is “Nike Magic”. What made us so successful, both with employees and consumers? I have read the books and archives about Nike but I genuinely want to know, what was it about Nike... — read more 

How does RTO align with the “Distributed Work Offensive”. If we were better when we are together, why have an office in Atlanta? There is an SD (LP) there whose whole entire team is at WHQ!

Is Nike actively adding rules to ZScaler to prevent the use of this website?

I'm all for equal opportunities, but given that only 25% of the US population is considered a minority, why is the target higher than that percentage (and we are pretty much at it) if we are going for a representation of the workforce? Our target... — read more 

I was a 20 year veteran and part of the March 2021 layoffs. If history repeats, be prepared next week. 60 days of paid employment takes you close to the end of the fiscal year. I received my email invite at 7:00am on 3/15. My last day of paid... — read more 

Whats the word on the la office closing?

And completely demoralized. Everyone around me feels the same. With that state of mind among employees, this company is going nowhere. I don’t believe in its growth, and I don’t see my future here anymore. I will just do what I’m supposed to with... — read more 

Can somebody please explain that to me?

Losing a job at Nike used to be something to fear because you'd lose great pay, amazing benefits, a chance to make your way up the ladder, and a position in a respected company that meant something on your resume if you decided to leave on your own... — read more 

The fact that JD and the leadership team hold zero accountability but let go many great teammates really irritates me. How can we do something about it? Would anyone join if we go on strike?

Is this the start of the next phase? I remember reading someone had their Nike Coursera membership being taken away that got impacted later on… Well, I just got the Coursera email, so I’m at least worried!

Ok comrades if we are going to get through this, we need to talk about some new rules. If you are in global tech, GAP, insights, innovation etc., STOP asking if they are done with restructuring your department. They will be done May 31st. You... — read more 

That kind of culture is what led to where we are now. When you're working against your employees instead of with them, this is what happens.

Mr. Silicon Valley quietly spearheaded a major behind the scenes digital strategy in 2020. Do any of you remember? Nike invested millions into web3 and NFT. And the result? Major loss on investment and zero relevance with our current consumer... — read more 

Does that mean the first round of layoffs was less than 500 people?

What I find profoundly missing from the Donahoe "game plan" of cost reduction is a fundamental change in STRATEGY. Someone from the fourth floor needs to tell me and Wall Street what was fundamentally wrong with the Category Offense? Didn't it lead... — read more 

For the company that’s not worth it? My costs will significantly increase, and I will be losing quite a bit of time commuting. If this was Nike of old, maybe. Today's Nike? Nah. It’s just like any other company - shallow, about nothing, without... — read more

PHK, I remember being bussed to Portland and captivated by your plea for our forgiveness as you took ownership and said that "we had lost our way and it was your fault". As you did, folks around me yelled that it was not your fault but you... — read more 

The plan is no different than JD’s time at eBay 2005-2015. We’re going to focus predominantly on cost saving through ineffectual and opaque cliche-centric leadership; devoid of accountability. In large organizations, it is far easier to yield the... — read more

Foot Locker results tell me that the Nike layoffs have only just begun. In an era of 25% inflation in 3 short years, at $98 Nike stock is lower than it was when inflation began - which means Nike stock is effectively worse less than Argentina's... — read more 

What gives? My Director thinks she's inspiring. She's just controlling and will not let anyone else get excited about making things happen. It has to come back to what she did. She takes credit for the work of others and squashes anyone else's... — read more 

I mean that in every way. The number of souls on your back. Oh wait, you don't want the emotional burden. Good luck with your soullessness. I hope you're not a parent.

At this point the board has to be looking at CEO performance ??? Board meeting next week
