I've heard that rumor one too many times. After all this preparation, couldn't they just rip the bandage off in a day or two? Why leave us hanging for weeks? Haven't we had enough stress already?

What happens to one’s health insurance after being laid off? Does anyone know?

The other post misread the email so clarifying here. They are consolidating roles outside of phk and itc INTO PHK and ITC. This does not mean no PHK cuts, it just means that they are not necessarily going to cut all or even the majority of the 1400... — read more 

1400 at PHK is massive, majority in tech

Are all the peeps hard at work today?

Will the sport strategy work for converse or will it end in converse sale

Anyone know what’s going on with APLA? Feels strange they still don’t have a permanent GM

Come on Nike marketing. This tagline rocks! You’re welcome.

Severance is based on a formula. The formula takes into account your years of service and your grade level. The maximum amount of weeks is capped for each of the grades. For example, a grade 40 with 10-14 years of service will get 20 Weeks of... — read more 

Woooooooooow. There is life after death

With potential layoffs next week, any advice on how I can save work files? Heard IT can provide access if I download my files into a folder and make a note of it. Will downloading a ton of files right now alert IT security

Seems like all posts and posters are Nike tech or adjacent.

Anyone else have a problem where The Work Number has inaccurate date about job titles and dates? How do you go about getting this corrected? TIA!

After last day of employment after riff when should severance payment arrive?

What do you consider "red flags" in an interview? For me, it's the "we're like a family" line. Every time a manager says that in an interview, I know what's coming. It usually means they'll expect you to stay late, cover for others, and never... — read more 

I didn’t think it was possible but it seems as though the experience at Nike has only increased in toxicity. I cannot even imagine being there now. I left many years ago after 22 years.

How many will be shocked?

Not because I want them, but because I want the waiting to be over. Even if I'm the first one out. The suspense has been unbearable, and no one can focus on anything anymore. Either way, good luck to everyone.

Forgive my ignorance, but this is my first layoff, so I’m not really sure what the procedure is. This is what I’ve gathered so far: We will receive the WFH email on Friday. Then on Monday morning, those being laid off will receive an email. Within... — read more

any company in the world, after certain growth it becomes mature, lackadaisical, entitled, and full of you know what! That is where Nike is and stuck!! Unable to crawl out of sh4t pile that they slipped and fell. EH just joined Nike when they came... — read more 

My group has been on the do more with less treadmill for two quarters. And it's not slowing down, it's speeding up. I've done a huge amount of work, delivered results, kept things running. But leadership doesn't support us. They never have. You can't... — read more 

This is the kind of line Nike used to drop all the time and nobody really pushed back on it Not because it was safer back then but because the brand had enough weight that people read it as confidence instead of taking a shot at people That cushion... — read more 

They’ve been delayed to add more names to the list. But they’re ready to go now. Week of 4/27. Leaders have been asked to provide team productivity data. I heard 10% and 20%. Worst number was 40% (of PHK Tech, not Global), probably over... — read more 

I struggle just to get myself in the door every day. It's only about the paycheck now, and even that can be gone next round.

More ad campaigns with exclusionary b.s. Hot. Mess. Wow. Just ... WOW.

Our group had an all-hands meeting recently where we spent 45 minutes witnessing managers patting themselves on the back and 5 minutes of dodging questions about backfilling roles, future layoffs or severance. So yeah, super useful and effective. I'm... — read more 

Truly fascinating how some people are able to identify every problem in the company with surgical precision, yet somehow remain here…contributing to all of them. If we ever bottled the energy spent on complaining, predicting layoffs, and... — read more 

That ad speaks to what Nike is all about. The exclusive passes, the no other brands allowed, the egotistical ads. People are not buying the bullsh-t anymore. There’s simply a lot out there and nobody needs to be talked down to.

TLDR: It’s not one problem. It’s a broken culture, recycled leadership, slow everything, and no real accountability. Nothing changes until the people at the top do. It’s the culture. It’s the nepotism. It’s the same insular leadership group playing... — read more 

My uncle who works at the c-suite said so

“The WARN Act offers protection to workers, their families, and communities by requiring employers to give a 60-day notice to the affected employees and to both state and local representatives prior to a plant closing or mass layoff.” So far Nike... — read more 

What did they think would happen? That we'd go above and beyond for a job that might be gone in a month, or two, or three? We still don't even know when the layoffs are actually coming.

Nike stock up 40 cents today. Adidas stock up over 3 dollars today. Every leader should be embarrassed as they take months to fumble another layoff execution. Fing ridiculous….. Tech is a joke. 3soles not cutting it….

Just read WSJ article 04.15 by Chip Cutter. Y’all should be happy if you still have a job; especially in tech.

Serious question .. what is the point of announcing layoffs being silent for months and tepeating this a few times a year so people are terrified all the time and productivity falls? I understand need to cut costs but the way we do it makes no sense

Is this a requirement. I have a horrible manager, she's been pure evil since day one. I've had it and I want to quit. I know she'll want me to transition mountains of work I am doing for her but I'd be delighted if I can just leave. There is... — read more 

Next week or the week after? Anyone have credible info? I thought next week was unlikely given all the planned events, but now I'm hearing they might happen anyway.
