The only thing Nike shares with the great company it was in the past is its name. That's it. How some people fail to see it is beyond me.

Layoffs will be bigger than anyone thinks. Evidence is the stock price, which at $100 is lower than it was before the COVID pandemic. However, the USD is worth 22.8% less than it was in Jan. 2020 due to inflation. What this means is that in real... — read more

Let’s try off shoring management and keeping the local engineers. If we gonna have 8 layers of managers, let’s at least be cost effective about it.

The company has done very well in the last few years. What happened that there is such a disruption in the market that they need to cut so many jobs? It seems like things were going so well. People are back on campus. Lots of construction. Updates to... — read more 

What is Nike policy on retirement vesting schedule? Do you need to work certain amount of time to be able to take that 5% match employer contribution if they let you go?

Just wondering what you all think. Her first big move to ki-l all the tech tools everyone uses everyday and force us to all Microsoft seems like a terrible idea.

We stopped innovating and just milked dunks, AF1 and AJ1's etc for past several years. We used to do a good job at creating scarcity with those and keeping consumers wanting more. Now we wonder why consumers are ready for something new but we let... — read more

There is a big VP offsite happening today and tomorrow. Any news people are willing to share?

We need the help of a Tech person, but we need a “spin the wheel “ on gossip here. Looking forward to the fun! I’ll go first, JD is a secret drag queen for Ru.

Recent announcements at VP level have been a net reduction, not naming backfills for existing VP roles. I doubt those roles will be backfilled and will quietly be part of the overall RIF.
