I truly hope we can hear something official about what's going to happen soon. Going back and forth with all these rumors and wild guessing is driving me crazy and making my already shaky nerves even worse. Why is this entire debacle being dragged... — read more 

Say someone is 60 years old, suddenly disillusioned with Nike, and would like to fly away on a golden parachute. Can such a person volunteer to be layed off? If so, how soon?

Wondering if Friday is the day. Leadership seems nervous and has been more absent than usual. Managers in surprise HR meetings. Any one else noticing this?

I can't take this sh-t anymore.

What are you doing? We used to be one of the greatest companies to work for and you’ve turned it into this mess? All of you before 2015, know what we were as a company. Don’t play amnesia. Now? What are you doing? The morale, spirit and team is ... — read more

Tiger gone and no innovation. Old heads still running the show and ki-ling it. Even the nurse shoes Hoka makes is more innovative than all of Nike now.

Guess this is just another phase of the reorg, but sheesh.. Feel like 3 out 4 posts on my LinkedIn timeline is another Nike promotion. Let's see how the next phase looks.
