“We will emerge stronger and better equipped to fulfill our purpose to serve all athletes and grow the future of sport,” Donahoe said. That quote is laughable. Right now, the brand is weak, and shareholders can put the blame firmly on Donahoe's... — read more 

It should be common knowledge by now that those retiring now are most likely let go. I was looking at NK's departing message, and people were just commenting by congratulating for the new journey. It su-ks how stupid the overall professional network... — read more 

If they got laid off.. was it an email? Are they done sending those emails or will they continue?

How about Heidi?

Interesting there is revenue growth and cogs increase as well(as expected with growth and inflation). However, SG&A expense increased $1.6b in one year??? How did that happen. I can see people looking at this from a financial statement perspective... — read more 

At the end of the day, you are potential unlocked. For all of the complaints on this board the real lack of mention is the outstanding work ethics and drive almost all of us witness in our day-to-day peer environment. Most teams are scrappers that... — read more 

How is it possible that jobs are still getting posted recently amidst layoffs! So they are dumping existing employees and getting new people on board same time? What logic and cost cutting is this? Are they hiring at much lower salary?!! Can someone... — read more 

The people they let go were stellar too. What gives?

From his email mentioning “accountability” for himself and leadership: but firing other people! The email was total fluff, empty promises, with no solid strategy. Sorry for those of you let go yesterday in this s*€tshow, but welcome your better days... — read more 

How can leadership at top level sleep well after giving sleepless nights to thousand of employees over this weekend of fear to get laid off! Who is responsible for mental health disturbance,stress and anxiety of employees waiting to know about their... — read more 

When is this going to be over?

Not sure if this will help anyone but this is what I found as i was researching what to do after a layoff... Here it goes in 10 bullets: [1] File for Unemployment Benefits: Check your eligibility and promptly apply for unemployment benefits to... — read more 

Anyone knows?

No hate comments towards our ETW teammates please! We are very proud of them and they are equal part of same company! Both respect each other and treat equal! Proud of all ETW and they owe same respect as FTE! Both should be safe from upcoming... — read more 

Be kind. Put the pitchforks away.

Reading the questions here is disheartening, and I empathize with your feelings. As I'm currently based in Singapore, I'm not privy to updates from WHQ. Could you please share any insights on which functions or departments have been affected?

End all the contracts of ETW’s and retain FTE’s should be new norm to success! No point in keeping temporary workers from xyz Company and laying full Time employees! Bad decision to lay off employees instead of temporary contractors! May be in FY24... — read more 

I'm nauseous. Why? What happened? Why? No joke that I'm sick and want to throw up. I wish I had JD and all the ELT in my tummy right now because either end they would "end" up in the toilet and flushed.

There were so many people let go today that I didn’t see coming. Really really good people. Strong performers. Do you think there’s anyone who is actually safe? Groups or individual people that would actually be a real blow to Nike to let go? Or are... — read more 

Why not wait and move ICs who are laid off to the new teams. Seems weird we are hiring ETWs and laying off FTEs.

Hearing some sad stories. Leaders using this as opportunity to clear out threats for their job security and old grudges. Losing hard workers and talented minds again Nike just got even more toxic

Give me the severance package. The phony messages about new direction, stream lining, getting after it etc from leaders that know they are safe is depressing today. Those leaders will be doing nothing except pushing their teams to make themselves... — read more 

First off, condolences. I hope your next gig is less toxic than Nike has been. Anyway, heard rumor that non management layoffs are being based off past CFE ratings. Curious if this is BS or not.

Admins to the leaders that were let go are being forced into a secret meeting on Monday. “Per John’s email, we will need your help scheduling upcoming transformation activation conversations…Do not share this session or the invitation”. We have to... — read more 

Start a union. Keeps management honest. Takes a brave group but stranger things have happened. Ask Amazon and Starbucks.

Imagine if we could somehow unite and go on strike and do not show up to work!

Can we have some compassion and empathy? It's been a hellish day and the last thing we need in our life right now is for a team member to "check in because they saw my name on the list and let me know that everything happens for a reason. And oh btw... — read more 

Not like there will be any work getting done. Just curious…

Why is Phil letting him ki-l the company and brand? We need MP to save us

Who tells your dept?

HR partners, are you done for the day? Or, will emails go out into the evening?

The pattern or criteria in GT thus far appears to be based on: Hired by the RAT Age And not necessarily in that order.

Today people all saw the messages, we all talked amongst ourselves. The fact remains that work will plummet today, and likely wont improve until after next week. What is the point of working hard, if you're just going to tire yourself out so some... — read more 

Outrageous amounts of time and ceremony on strategic decks, plans & roadmaps in support of a future state/vision that now never seems to last longer than a few months. Why?

Check you Profile in Slack. If your email has a number code attached to it you are on the list. Unclear how much of a heads up that gives you. Might be day, might be an hour? Mine just got it - waiting for the call now. 1708XXX where X-X is your... — read more

If Nike hires contractors, ETWs, so that it can flex staffing up and down depending on business needs, then why are only FTEs bring hit with layoffs? Rational leaders would look to cut contracts first. It's becoming a company of contractors with no... — read more 

Does the layoff in first phase is only in WHQ or other geos as well?! Q4 is for other geos ?
