It is too quiet

No one is committing to anything and waiting for other shoe to drop. Will they tell us when it’s over? how will we know?

Those laid off are the lucky ones

We're already expected to take on more work since we have fewer people around. At least the laid off folks got paid to look for other employment. All we get is more work for the same pay. I'm not trying to minimize what happened to those who were... — read more 

Bringing back this oldie, but a goodie

Management layers are overstuffed

Let's be honest, Nike does need a major round of layoffs - but not of the people it has been targeting. We need a major culling among the management. The higher, the better. We have too many people in positions that do nothing to contribute to the... — read more

Loss of institutional knowledge

I've watched them erode away institutional knowledge at the individual contributor level, either letting people retire without trying to document what they know, or laying off people who know everything about a specific Nike niche. But they think it... — read more

Continuation of layoffs

We know there will be more layoffs, but if I understand correctly, not before next year. Can we be certain of this? I'd really like to be able to stop stressing at least for the two weeks we have left before Christmas. I know that after that it will... — read more

Why Nike’s culture is toxic…

Summary: From Uber to Nike to CBS, recent exposés have revealed seemingly dysfunctional workplaces rife with misconduct, bullying, and s-xual harassment. Why do companies get caught up in illegal behavior, harassment, and toxic leadership?... — read more

Does anyone know about cuts in AP TD & Design?

Leadership: "I know as much as you do." Stress levels are high, and leaders are trying to refocus the TD and Design teams on potential org shifts, but say nothing about the layoffs. Does anyone know if cuts will happen in those groups?

Layoffs will not stop

We might get a week or two reprieve, maybe even a month, if we're lucky, but we will never again be safe. The floodgate has been opened and there is no closing it. This management only knows how to improve the numbers by cutting costs - which equates... — read more

Nike’s culture has become one of FEAR

It’s gross. Letting people go right before the holidays in these rolling layoffs. Keeping leaders that don’t belong that are ki-ling whatever is left of what was once a great place to work and cutting people who actually cared about their teams... — read more 

I need this to be over
