Nike is definitely showing its marketing prowess. Saying a whole lot and utilizing buzz words with no actual information -_-. Anyone else have any functional meetings to discuss the reorg where they still ended up telling you nothing about what... — read more
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

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
Nike is a mess. Good luck PK. I think you just fu---d us.

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

Anyone heard of cuts in Jordan? I have an offer with another company and pose this question: wait to be laid off for severance or take offer and run. I need to leave Nike, the toxicity is overwhelming and by the looks here, it’s all over campus... — 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
There's no reason why they couldn't have done this all in one day. Letting it drag out like this only causes more unnecessary stress to employees. Even when it comes to layoffs, you can see the difference between good and bad management in the way it... — read more

Any insight on how these lay offs being decided?

Let’s Get Real
