I’ve been looking since November. Applied to over 200 roles, reached out to endless contacts, informational, networking, all of it. Open to move. Experience across multiple well know brands, locations, etc. not in tech. What the he-l? I am worried... — read more 

My kids haven't asked for any Nike product since Pandas were a thing. The cool kids at their schools all wear Hoka, ALO, ON, Vans, Crocs, New Balance, LULU, or adidas. Nike is what the homeless people and criminals wear. The SLT went all in on the... — read more 

I used to dream about working at Nike, but now I dream of leaving.

Since this all started, I've gone through all five stages of layoffs (I know it's grief, but it's pretty much the same deal): denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. I went from thinking I would not be laid off, to being angry at Nike... — read more 

There were rumors going round today that Vp and SD leaders in Gap are freaking due to the changes. Anyone know why?

Or is he a phony that barely reads off a teleprompter? You tell me....

Can we please let those who want to be laid off volunteer for the next round? sigh I guess I’ll have to quit like a normal person if I make it through the next set of layoffs. Bummer.

Have the decisions for May been made or will be they made based on purely dollar amount? Does our work matter? Our impact? Even us being seen at the office?

Have you ever wondered what PK might be thinking? I do!! It's hard to imagine he would be alright with just watching the company he worked so hard to build slowly go down the drain. Phil is the only one who can save this sinking ship. I miss the old... — read more 

I have a relative that works at Nike. I'll have a Bachelor's in Cybersecurity in two years and have been considering applying to Nike at that time. But perhaps not now. I heard about the layoffs, the all hands that got cut short by 20 minutes, the... — read more

These layoffs revealed everything that is wrong with Nike. It’s become a far cry from the company I joined years ago. Problems run deep. Failure to remain relevant, competitive and successful created a cesspool. And that failure lies in the hands of... — read more 

In an unhealthy management org like Nike (and a lot of other companies really), the doers spend their time and energy making things work better through data, expertise, and processes, while the talkers spend their time and energy stealing from doers... — read more 

From reading this board and talking to my coworkers, it seems like most of the employees are very unhappy here. It's not just the layoffs, it's clear that the entire culture and work environment are the issue. If nothing changes for the better, Nike... — read more

Criteria for layoffs? Hmmm, I am not sure about that one. What’s the point of layoffs? Not sure about that one either. Well, beyond C-suite and shareholders skimming the cream. What’s the credibility of leadership, how are they handling... — read more

So disheartening to hear and read about yet another round of layoffs at Nike. Hoping for the best for those affected. But as to Nike, THANKS, for being the beacon of the future of corporate employment! So expertly played, how you bloat the corporate... — read more 

Thanks JD

Now Is a terrible market to find a job. Unemployment numbers are off because people have been unemployed for over a year and no longer counted. Recruiters are being spammed with ai applications so it’s impossible to apply and be seen. The process has... — read more 

Glassdoor John Donahoe 82% approve of CEO Can somebody explain to me how come that 82% of employees approve of JD? What alternate reality do they live in? Not to mention, is it not weird to anybody that Nike has a 4.1 rating? Do you know anybody who... — read more 

Is it a good org to be part of? I know the technology function has a very negative reputation at Nike so I’m not sure about this particular org.

The short answer is while you are employed! So many of former Nike employees were loyal to an organization that never hesitated to give them their marching orders. If there an end in sight or this layoff was a one-off, perhaps this post could be... — read more 

Reading all the commands here and watching the now infamous all hands meeting, LT and HR are missing one of the fundamental key elements that makes Nike great. I’ve been with Nike for 25 years and through out those years, we have repeatedly been told... — read more 

A number of posts here are referring to the fact that in the, by now infamous, Global Employee Meeting they were going to announce a full return to the office. Is this speculation or do we know for a fact? I am asking because if this leadership is... — read more 

Nike lays off the highest-paid employees who are in 99% of cases older and the highest performers as well. Then they throw in a few others just to make sure no accusations of age discrimination can be thrown around. Layoff after layoff after layoff... — read more 

I’ve been out of Nike for 1.5 - 2 years now but if I were there, I wouldn’t be commenting in chats on all hands. What I would do is be leaking the comments in the chat/what was said to the press. How this all isn’t bigger news from Powell/Sneaker... — read more 

Hey Nike executive team: You all get paid over $10 Million plus to be Nike Leaders. It's a hard job, you deserve the $$. Maybe. How about you all focus on Nike instead of yourselves, your egos and other companies. Here are a few suggestions: JD -... — read more 

Several VPs whose teams believed their were laid off mysteriously got unlaid off. Anyone know what’s going on with that???

This is a bit uncomfortable to share but I believe people should be aware of decisions that impact them so I'll personally own the risk. Yesterday we were exposed to Nike's very keep it tight AI for the first time. Most notably "OpenJD". The AI was... — read more

The results are bad, the outlook is not better, he lost the trust and the respect of the workforce, … I don’t see how JD can possibly recover from this. The way he’s been treated in the chat and even on wikipedia shows that he’s lost all control and... — read more 

It’s funny that those bland and fake corporate people seriously expect us to be motivated to turn Nike around in the middle of the chopping frenzy. Corporate bullsh-t is not going to work. We need genuine leadership that will earn respect. It’s not... — read more
