I’m on campus this week and even though I want to keep my job, I’m dreading another day of awkward nervous energy in the office. Are any orgs laying off in person? This board is both gossip and truth. And I have gotten way more truth here than... — read more 

Have all meetings been 1-1 with leader (and HR)? Or have there been meetings in which multiple employees are informed as a group?

We are probably nowhere near the target number. This week is going to be a nightmare.

Does anyone have information about the non-compete? Will it be discussed during the call? I signed one years ago in a different role. Not sure if it’s still valid. Is it better to ask about it in the call or not?

Was there PSP component for those laid off so far? As per communication , employees will be given PSP for FY24 who are been laid off! But is that actually provided who left?

Have these teams been affected? I am probably missing some other Tech teams but people here are posting about the same 2-3 teams.

It’s not going to end. Superstar athletes aren’t the future, look at On, Hoka and lululemon. Our business model has been disrupted and it will never be fun to work at Nike like it was when we were growing consistently. Shoe dogs are all fired... — read more 

If you look up people on slack, it shows who they report to. If it suddenly does not show whom they report to, does it mean they are on the hit list?

Go to your personal email from work computer Start a draft email Attach any files you want. DON’T send. From your personal computer now go back to your personal email. Download files from draft you previously created. You’re... — read more 

Sounds like NDP will experience another chop chop before the fiscal is out. Brutal, yo! What's up with THAT?

JD email did not say anything about those departments who were previously impacted but clearly says those who are NOT affected. Does it mean they strike again to those previously affected on Nov and Dec?

Bane and HR are Influencers and pull the plug. Suddenly you are deactivated.

Out with the old, in with the new. Anyone taking bets on how many Amazon leaders will be hired on as part of the post layoff re-org?

You all should be too.

This keeps getting buried in the thousands of posts. Can we create a clean post with just the list of impacted groups (spell it out, no one knows what your acronyms mean)? And what level - VP, Sr Dir, Dir, Manager, IC, etc. Don't worry about the... — read more 

If you aren't on network, how can you figure out what your employee ID is? Is it the same as FEIN?

Do we think it’s a coincidence that AirDrop on all Apple laptops is turned off? Maybe no sending files to personal devices? Super suspicious timing and giving Big Brother energy

One thing I think we can all agree on is that in the aftermath of all this, Sr Directors should no longer have Admin support. The idea that they are too important to manage their own calendars is fu_k_ng ridiculous . I saw an earlier post... — read more 

Hello my awesome colleagues, Sending you big hugs and hi5, I have question, are we allowed to join Cognizant?

Approx 800-900 layoffs will happen in Feb and remaining in May excluding EMEA which may happen in FY25!

They have no formal connections to Nike. They are a bunch of nice people that are still drinking the koolaid. They’ve been around for years. Your lack of knowledge reflects only on you. If you are even mildly active on LinkedIn you would have seen... — read more 

Why don’t the company trust it’s own employees and highly reliable to third party vendor like Cognizant and other companies? Why can’t they build their strong team of FTE and do work instead of some other outside resources ? Instead of looking after... — read more 

When I started at Nike over 10 years ago my boss at the time said something to the effect of “you know you’ve been here a while when you have a conversation with someone in an elevator and discover that they do what YOU do.” Let’s be honest: Nike... — read more 

I was laid off yesterday, and during the call they asked for my personal email address to send the details of my lay off and my severance package to. It’s been more than 24 hours and I haven’t received any emails. Is that normal? Who should I even... — read more 

Rolled in at 10:00 and I still got a parking spot. Feels like a 30% reduction, about the same punt before all the remote workers were forced to come back.

This is a huge thing to coordinate. You should feel bad for all of the consultants who had to orchestrate all of this. It is a lot of work. Just get over yourself and think about how hard this is for them.

anyone have thoughts or guesses on whats going to happen to creative? both global and NA? sounds like that's in limbo until closer to May.

It seems like this will go on in multiple phases until year end. Focus on vp and s currently. Is that right ? Lower bands later this year? I did hear of lower bands in some functions though.

Nike has several problems. It forgot how to market and tell authentic, compelling stories. The product is stale. That’s all occurring during a time when the marketplace is far more bifurcated & dispersed than it used to be. Consumers are harder to... — read more 

These layoffs are insane. JD sc--wed the pooch and uses Bain to do the dirty work to clean up his mess? JFC! I am extremely puzzled by Nike's association with Bain. Bain has been involved in so much corruption overseas that it is mind blowing that... — read more 

I have been stressed out for months now. I am not in a good financial situation due to mortgage, inflation and dependent family members, and I am terrified of losing a job. The general atmosphere due to poorly handled layoffs adds to my desperation... — read more 

What happens if you are on PTO when they send you a meeting invite? Will they just wait for you to come back?

While I’ve come to peace with whatever happens, I know that’s not the case for everyone. Hang in there, only 4 more days of this agony. I was once told by a wise man to focus on controlling the things in which I can control. I can’t control whether... — read more 

Are people still being notified? My dad works at Nike but I don't want to ask him, he's been a mess for the last few months, to put it mildly. I don't want to add to it, but it would be nice to know what's happening. I just want to be prepared for... — read more 

If so, which orgs?

They signed the deal lat Aug 2023 will under the new agreement consolidate several IT support functions with Cognizant. It’s all starting to make sense ….?
