When I was impacted by the 2020 CDA layoffs, I often spoke to others who were affected. Commiserating with them was therapeutic in some regards. But my former unscathed teammates rarely if ever proactively reached out. I get it. To some degree, it's... — read more 

No reminder is needed that there are degenerate people here shamefully pretending to be laid off and current employees. Rather than deceitfully phishing for story leads and confidential leaks, be up front about your purpose in your posts. Your... — read more 

It is so sh---y for us who are still here, and shittier for those who are being let go. Reach out to your colleagues and friends who were laid off. We are all in this together, and they need our support. Reach out to your colleagues even if you are... — read more 

Hi All, Everyone impacted by the Layoffs should consider working for a mid tier corporate company. 500-5000 people. They don't rule with an iron fist, everyone has a name, and you get to see a larger picture of what is going on. Retail is a tough... — read more 

What are they going to talk about? Are there unexpected stuffs we’re going to hear?

I can't express how many colleagues I miss. Nike "had" an incredible work force and now it's gone due to cost cutting? Getting rid of veterans that cost too much? Wrong move. It's the veterans that made working there great! The stories, support... — read more 

See title, anyone taken plo as an etw? What was the reaction? How'd you wind up handling it?

I know that ETWs are typically less expensive then FTEs but there has been zero communication given by Nike on where ETWs will fit in the reorg & managers have been told to not talk about it. Given that and many contracts are up for renewal in May &... — read more 

What are the odds that the comments will be open?

After 4 years of upheavals, mismanaged initiatives, poor leadership appointments, multiple rounds of layoffs (ala hunger games 2020), inability to connect with the collective employee voice, lack luster product, c-suite elitism and fostering a... — read more 

How come that reorg, drive for efficiency, reinventing, right-sizing, or whatever is the current fancy name for cuts, almost never affect layers upon layers of management, but always us, lowly working folk? It is silly to expect from the same people... — read more 

If you want to not worry about layoffs anymore, work in a non-toxic environment, work for a company that has a bright future, then I'm sad to tell you that you'll have to leave Nike. None of those things will ever again be true for this place. The... — read more 

What can we expect from this week?

To me, the WARN is doing exactly what it's supposed to do, giving people some time to prepare. Tell me, honestly, which would you rather have. 60 days notice that you might get laid off in writing with WARN, then termination and no severance No... — read more 

Back to the office to see the empty desks where our former compatriots used to sit. Shall we pour out a drink for them? It will feel odd as we await our own fates in May watching every interaction for a sign. Ugh.

Coming soon to a huddle near you to explain how all of this makes perfect sense. . . .

Morbid curiosity from someone who was laid off. Can someone paste in MD’s email?

MD’s email was funny .. she has to spell out the “distinguished engineer” will write code. The copilot adoption is failing cause nobody’s is writing code in Nike! Nike was and always be a consultant driven company … have some pie in the sky ideas... — read more

Usually that’s indicative of if he stays or goes. 88% approve. What gives?

There isn’t a single ceo or person in the world that can fix Nike. Everyone hates everyone. John is definitely a villain, rose colored glasses makes Mark Parker look like the hero, yet he had rampant boy club behavior running underneath him. Phil... — read more

NIKE has been a great company for many. Not a great company for some. We may agree to disagree on current direction, or even decisions made in the past. People, processes, investment, priorities, etc. The one thing we can all agree on is the only... — read more 

HON is out. "I've tried to be the president of everything but what I have reaslized is I am I am the president of no one."

Damn it, enjoy your life! Sc--w this company, and sc--w any other company. We’ll get back on our feet, and there is life to live beyond mostly stupid jobs.

So I tried to get set up with Right for the placement/transitioning help and they require an email and contact name from HR. I can’t find it anywhere in the packet. Does anyone know what to use?

Competitor brands that are less expensive and better quality and cuter…come out from the shadows!!!

Something tells me next week might not be as calm as we are hoping it will be.

Right now in Workvivo there are about a dozen articles talking about the new orgs. The numbers of VPs mentioned in those articles is just absurd! Weren't we supposed to save money? Get a lean organization? I don't even know who's my boss right now... — read more

We all can agree that JD is the reason Nike is failing and will continue to fail...did MP see these business decisions coming and left so the layoffs etc wouldn't stain his "legacy"? Do you think Shoe Dog would ever petition MP to come back?

I understand people won't probably share their severance due to NDA so I thought I ask the question another way. I would get 2 month of salary (WARN) but how much extra I am looking for a year and half service? Please be kind.

I was laid off yesterday. I got all of the documents on Box, but I don’t see anything I need to sign to agree to terms of receiving severance. Anyone know anything about that part?

As soon as one round of layoffs is done, the next one is in the planning. It's only a matter of time before the whole cycle restarts.

After that email, it seems like a lot of stuff is about to be changed.
