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

If you ever think of being part of that team, RUN as far as you can. Fake leadership, constant retaliation and favoritism, toxic management.

So there you have it. We Iive to work another day. Well until May anyways when we repeat the same process for the lower levels. Good times.

It would be great if layoffs were really getting rid of underperformers. Nobody would have any issues with that, I assume. But that's not the case. We keep losing good people, hard-working people, those who have invaluable knowledge and experience... — read more 

Is BATC shut down?

Just read Venky’s email. How is everyone feeling about the changes?

Per the communications from Jordan/Nike Leaders this phase is over. "As of today, we have completed all our exit conversations in our respective functions for this first phase in February. We will, however, continue planning for some additional... — read more 

Many of the people I've seen let go were older and more experienced. If a team was split it looks like they kept all the younger people. Has anyone else noticed this pattern in their org?

I was laid off from Nike late last year, and it was the best thing that ever happened to me. I landed a new role in a company whose pace doesn’t cause stress and mental breakdowns. Even in this job market, there are things that are far better. Take... — read more 

Asked to wfh this week but have heard nothing. Can I relax for the weekend??

So many folks are tired of this cr-p and planning to leave once the dust settles. Ask around, you'll see I'm not wrong. I know the overall goal for this leadership is to reduce the number of employees drastically, but they might find themselves in a... — read more 

It’s horrible where corporate treatment of workers brought us. We all feel cornered. Cost of living, mortgage, chains imposed by all kinds of debt, gave power to corporations to treat us as disposable items. We are happy when we see someone but not... — read more 

As predicted earlier ,Phase 1 of layover will get over today and phase 2 -non EMEA including US layoff will happen in May before FY24! EMEA is planned for FY25! For those who are safe , next phase will begin in May impacting all job levels! List is... — read more 

I was laid off early this week. Other than my direct manager, none of my remaining coworkers have reached out, even though we were all close and got along well. It feels very odd to me. I have survived layoffs in past jobs and I always checked in on... — read more 

One more week of phase 1 left to go

You are free to go now. God bless.

I hear that multiple teams are getting touchbase team meetings from their leaders today, also no one is letting go of today as per news till now, so is this phase 1 thing over now?

Or can the person just ask to be laid off if that's the case?

I need a Certified Financial Planner. I was informed yesterday my role was being descoped from SR Director to Director with a corresponding pay cut due to reorg and downsizing, and I would be reporting to a former peer I do not get along with. Or... — read more 

Hoping that "touchbase" wording implies future ongoing communications.

Lot of folks on PTO this week. Is avoiding a conversation a way to avoid being laid off?

Was FTO introduced to save money with cash encashment of allocated or unused PTO as they anticipated more layoff in future? We cannot encash FTO?

One minute she was on LinkedIn offering solace to the laid off, next minute she was deactivated on slack and is now, I assume, laid off herself. Blindsided and reporting directly to the CFO?

What’s the un calculated cost to productivity of dragging out this process? The amount of time, energy, stress, anxiety, fear, panic diverted from working is staggering. It’s all everyone is thinking and talking about. No one is thinking “hey how can... — read more 

Any info who will be hit in May? Are they visiting those are already affected in November-December?

New lists will now get assembled of the lower levels in the new formation. Once finalized, then HR, legal, benefits, etc... begin their 1 to 2 month slog through clearing everything and preparing packages ... all over again. THAT is why those who... — read more 

If I find a new job sooner than the two-month extended period on the payroll, can I exist early and still retain the severance package?

Anyone aware of regions that are impacted till now, At least in my org it seems like it’s restricted to one geo only.

Suddenly all those friends and family passes they couldn’t stop shelling out make even more sense. Had you handing them out to get people to shop just before they did layoffs. Had to get their last couple of bucks of whoever they could.

Means no cuts tomorrow right?? Just sayin..

Does anyone know the structure of the packages and the criteria that they’re using to calculate them?

the ugly word no one likes to say out loud at Nike, lol. Worked at a few corporate HQ’s and have yet to encounter the amount of couples and various familial ties I’ve seen here. And that’s just the FTE’s. Even more out of control for ETWs where... — read more 

Since the week is almost over, did any managers/directors start getting info about which ICs are going to stay or get laid off? Or is it still a secret to you like Monday when we started the week

Cannot believe EC and all his leadership are still going to be running tech ops. Disappointing…..

Went to the company store to try to cheer myself up and get something. What is AP doing. Nothing fits. It’s like they had one muse from NYC. 10+ colors of AJ1 and AF1. No wonder we are being called out for lack of innovation. Sorry to lose so many... — read more 

Has anyone heard anything about DSM?? DSM reorg was announced a long time ago but they keep dragging their feet on implementing. Not sure how this plays into current layoffs.

I'm recently retired (used to work in what was called "nike.net"), but I found out that most of my old managers were let go, some really good people including some of the best managers I've ever had. Today was management's turn, the rumor from the... — read more 

Nike has been suffering from the corporate illness that became pervasive over the past 15-20 years. Companies became just a money extraction service for those on top and in the name of shareholders, and they exist until there is nothing left... — read more
