This is what happens when quarterly earnings don’t resonate with Wall Street. Nike stock options doled out the past few years continue to be under water or barely at the surface. For those that receive as part of their compensation, the stock looks... — read more 

Is it possible to bring us back to an employee owned company? That would be the best bet to being great again. And we’d save a ton on salary. A TON! The CEOs make way too much and don’t deliver sh-t. We do the work and they get paid? There has to be... — read more 

I was shown the door late 2020 as part of CDA, after a pretty decent run. It is almost 2024 and I am still affected by this. Like so many of you brilliant people, I had given my all to this company; working long hours for years, and allowing the... — read more 

Which is the only good thing about all of this, since it's always my biggest fear when it comes to layoffs.

Sh-t. Keep your support system close? Face your feelings? Accept it? What do you do in a situation like this? What do you say to others and yourself? I’m so lost and confused. I pray daily, but now I don’t know how to. I just want to throw up. My... — read more

Rumor is 2000 people now. 460M in severance. Would equate to 1 out of 6 people at WHQ. Poor leadership, point blank. Nike was screwed the second people starting shopping in store again. Now employees are paying the price.

Next month will be horrible for all of us due to anticipation and related stress. But at least we know nothing will happen before January, so try to use these few remaining days of certain safety to not think about it and enjoy your time with your... — read more 

Send JD back to Bain where he can get back to his roots: levered buyouts, corporate raiding, asset stripping, or whatever else "consultants" like him do... he sure ain't producing anything of value here.

Maybe we put together a package deal with MF & JD because based on the earnings call neither of them give a sh** about anyone except their own as! It’s a fu** disgrace.

A few different and unrelated things to say here so I’m going to bullet point my post. Nike said severance costs will be $400M to $450M. Even using the most generous assumptions of $400M and six-figure packages for all (LOL!) that is a MINIMUM of... — read more

Yes, JD, yes you are.

But there are going to be more VPs in merchandising? Make it make sense

Insulted is an understatement as to how I felt and I’m sure I’m not alone about JD’s email after the earnings call. Let’s start with his $35M salary to kick off the $2B we need to cut. He is such a complete A*. Right before the holidays?? So... — read more

Just heard MANA SEC release was delayed 6 months, I feel like this is gonna equate to some folks getting fired. Any clue as to why they pushed the date?

I miss those days.
