I find it annoying, unprofessional, I don’t know what the non-swear word to use is, that we don’t know which wave we’re. They absolutely know by now, so why can’t anyone tell us just that at least. I heard some groups have been told which wave. We... — read more
Stock Grants / Options
IF you received this in the past, they were part of your total compensation package, and they vest over four years. If you choose to leave or are terminated for cause, you lose any unvested stock. Layoffs are neither. If they don't vest, they are... — read more
Quiet quitting
If your team was asked to WFH I see no reason not to do more than the bare minimum since NIKE is doing less than that for you.
Omg!
apparently a 'key new hire' is coming, or something? I heard....
$5 billion in stock buybacks - 2023
$2 billion in cost cutting this year by way of layoffs and JD/c-suite continue on. Love all the accountability.
Times like this..
It’s so telling of the leadership you work under during this time.. Absolute radio silence.. Nothing, no checking in at all… I’m not asking for much but wow, wasn’t expecting nothing at all.. So much for Maxims.. They ask you though.. What... — read more
To the 1708 King
Thank you for Friday 1708 OP. You made Friday interesting. And you put a smile on our faces knowing they were scrambling to take it down. If there was a Layoff Hall of Fame you’d be the first inductee.
Anti-Wellness Week
From the creators of Wellness Week comes a dark twisted sequel that will be sure to have you continuously stressed out and struggling to cope. Anti-Wellness week. "Anti-Wellness Week: It' coming for you...or not...either way sit around and wait... — read more
Floating holiday - Use it before you lose it
Heard that unlike our PTO, we won’t get paid for the floating holiday if we are laid off. Use it and log off from work for a day if you would like.
Nike is hiring this week!
I think it is completely tackless that Nike has recruiters trying to fill roles this morning. I have been contacted by 6 different recruiters for a TPM position with Digital. I turned them all down. Why would I want to work for a company who is... — read more
Take care folks
Take a mental health / sick day if you need to rest. PTO are paid out.
Total number of layoff so far and expected number this week?!
Can anyone share the approx number of layoff so far completed? And those got the mail from HR, please share your insights! Good luck everyone
Laid off may turn out to be the lucky ones
Losing a job here may be the best thing that happened to any of us. I do not see this company becoming any better nor ever returning to what it once was. Given the mgmt, I do not think they have capacity to come up with something that can dig us out... — read more
Consumer Insights on the chopping block?
Thank the lord. What a waste of time, space, and money. There is no single thing that so precisely represents how little trust leadership has in the product engine than the fact that they spun up this team that knows absolutely nothing about the... — read more
Nike set for over 1,600 layoffs in restructure
https://www.sportcal.com/news/nike-set-for-over-1600-layoffs-in-restructure/
This can't last
Creating a positive work environment is, mildly put, challenging when layoffs keep happening incessantly, with no sign of an end. This constant threat of job loss has taken a toll on morale so it's no wonder how difficult it is for employees to stay... — read more
ITC is safe from layoff! Maximum from WHQ
No layoff in ITC and projects will be shifted from WHQ to ITC! Hurray
EMEA layoffs starting already
Spreadsheet with names was sent out a while ago with end dates already from March, not FY25 as mentioned in other posts. Good luck everyone
Invites went out
folks having invites popping up - sent around 7am. VP and HR.
Why is everyone down on how they are doing it?
Why is everyone so upset about how they are doing it? What is wrong with it? Honest question.
Sla-ghter d1w2
New thread for the bloodbath to follow, good luck every one
Do performance reviews matter?
I’m curious if HR takes that into consideration or if it’s just the consultants in a room drawing up new orgs without input on who the performers are.
Just remember Nike is a young man's game
If you are 50 and not a vp you are on borrowed time It su-ks but history shows it to be true. I've always wondered how they do it as I thought there were laws against it Just remember if you are laid off it's because you fit a profile and not... — read more
REAL QUESTION - High Fives - did they ever really matter
Hi friends. I’m between hurdler and decathlete in my time inside the berm As I wait for my fate this week, really want to know did high fives from people senior to me ever matter? I know what some of you will say, just feeling reflective as I... — read more
Coursera cancelled
Just got an email from Coursera that "Nike has removed your membership in the Nike program." That's probably not good.
I can’t sleep
Uggggg. I’m wide awake. Stressed. My stomach feels like it’s been punched. I may in fact be fine or this week will bring lots of change being laid off. I have no idea what direction it will be. This uncertainty is awful. Just awful. I just want to... — read more
Monday is coming
Anyone get meeting invites?
AirMi
Haven’t heard anything about AirMi layoffs. Has anybody else?
Does Nike ever rehire people after being laid off?
I have this sinking feeling I will be laid off this week and I’m just wondering will I be eligible for rehire if Nike opens jobs that I qualify for? Is this frowned upon? Will people look at me like I wasn’t good enough so even if it’s technically... — read more
Any impact to non-US tech centers?
Anyone from ITC or other non-US GT teams hear anything?
Impact to SEC?
Any folks from SEC know anything? There’s about how many in that program 1k or so? Where does this function even land? Part of GT? Enabling function?
Best of Luck this week
GT’r here. Im fully expecting a blood bath in our org this week, but it’s been an honor to work with so many fine employees. It’s a shame our leadership has brought us to this point, but I can say that over the last couple of years I’ve enjoyed... — read more
Logistics
Great questions about logistics. I know they are heavy with directors and analysts.
Plan for tomorrow evening
Tomorrow might be a bad day for many of us… including me. I don’t want to be depressed if something bad happens. Instead, planning to do something fun in the evening, like getting drunk or trying edibles for the first time. :) Do you have any such... — read more
What happens if your VP that you report to was let go?
Does that mean you are likely to go? Any insights?
