What's the average age of laid off employees this time around? Usually, it's a lot of 50-somethings and above and a few 20-somethings added to make it seem like there's no age discrimination going on. I don't know many who were affected so far so I... — read more
Layoffs info
We were told there will be more layoffs through this week and next week and first week of January. Also heard they started with Sr dir and work their way to lower levels and finally ETWs. We were also told company has opened positions for hiring and... — read more
Employee Layoff Acceleration (ELA) Is Here
Is this JD’s new strategy? And during the holidays? Why? Why are people that depend on Nike gettin fired because his sh---y strategy and hires? Why he still here?
What about Wednesday?
Will there be more layoffs tomorrow? Some people are saying that layoffs will last Tuesday through Friday and others are saying Tuesday and Friday so I'm not sure what to expect tomorrow.
Nike direct ?
Does anyone know what is happening? Heard some in digital and stores already but more coming. What is the strategy here other then making teams scared and unproductive by dragging on for weeks?
Wake up before it’s too late (it’s already too late)
I've been screaming into the void, calling for unity, for us to band together against the impending doom, but my cries fell on deaf ears. Now, the prophecy is unfolding - layoffs are looming over us like a dark cloud ready to burst! I warned you... — read more
Severance agreements
I have never been through this before. I have my severance offer in writing and some other helpful documents, however I have to sign a severance agreement that won’t be sent until next week. Does anyone know what is generally in a severance... — read more
Do we have a running list?
I saw some names of directors/senior directors in a different post. Not sure it’s ok to name names here, but if people have them, please post them. Sometimes it’s hard to keep in track and we don’t hear about are friends until weeks and months... — read more
Any changes made to severance?
I'm always worried they'll stealthily try to reduce severance.
They truly chose a cr-ppy time to do this
I'm shocked they didn't wait until December 24. We have sadistic leadership, apparently, so it wouldn't come as a surprise.
This will be a long day
What an unfortunate time to choose to do something like this. Just goes to show how little those at the top care about employees and how something like this can affect our families.
Do we have any details?
How many will be laid off? What will be hit? Anything other than just there'll be layoffs tomorrow?
Nike's headcount went up from 78k to 83k in last one year
Why did senior management hire so many people when it was clear economy was slowing? Could have avoided layoffs.
Reorg this week - Details?
Rumor has been there is a reorg this week. Anyone have any information on who will be impacted? When the announcements will come?
The Nike reputation as a great place to work died long ago
The Nike that once was, hasn't existed for years and likely won't come back. Face reality and make your decision. Most of you are not in charge nor can influence any decisions. Accept, lead or leave. JD isn't the only voice here. He's the figure... — read more
Many of you are only thinking in your own world
First off, the bad characters that took advantage during the pandemic made us all look bad, and unfortunately caused this corporate decision. Flexibility should be the future. Many daycare facilities closed down and now it’s much more expensive... — read more
December layoffs
Is Nike known for having end-of-the-year layoffs? I started this year so I don't know how it works yet, but my last company always laid off during the second week of December. I hope the same is not true here.
5 day work week.
Can’t say how I know - but a 5 day in person work week will be announced in June. I’ll save my own personal ramblings and just say this - it was nice knowing you, Nike.
Christmas List
Instead of talking about the warn list, let’s talk about our Christmas list. What should be on our list for JD this year?
Warn list
Nike is showing up on the WARN list. It’s showing (1500) with no date? Anyone know anything?
What are you thankful for at Nike
Given it was just thanksgiving Day. IT can't be all bad?
You deserve better
We all deserve better than what Nike's been giving us lately. I'm surprised attrition is not much worse than it is.
The odd thing about the latest backdoor scandal.
https://footwearnews.com/business/legal-news/social-status-owner-james-whitner-money-laundering-1203558250/ For those that know, it's no secret that JW has been VERY protected by people very high up in the org. Some folks even turned a blind eye to... — read more
Several Nike Employees Say They Were Laid Off As the Company Announces Major C-Suite Design and Marketing Shifts
Some Nike employees have taken to LinkedIn to share that they have recently been laid off from the company as the Swoosh unveils major C-suite changes across design and... — read more
We need more transparency
I shouldn't be finding out there were layoffs within the company on an anonymous board. We should be hearing that from our leadership. The secrecy is destroying the little faith we might have left in those on the top. Not to mention, it's affecting... — read more
When will JDs Layoff Happen?
Did JD make the cut or get impacted? I want to know because his $32m salary would probably mean no one, NO ONE WOULD BE IMPACTED EXCEPT FOR HIM. Call me old school, but shouldn’t he be the first one gone? Fk around and not do what you said you were... — read more
Nike PTO Pay Out Policy
Going to look this up later , but does anyone know the pto pay out policy for resignation and or firing. With looming lay offs and everything I don’t wanna leave earned money on the table by not taking the time
Next % vs CDA
Everyone I know is worried about their job right now but no word from E LT on layoffs. Remember the monthly meetings and the commitment to transparency b.s. that dragged on for months with CDA? I hope if cuts come again they just rip the bandaid off... — read more
When will layoffs start?
How long do we have before the inevitable happens?
Anyone successfully commuting?
Has anyone found success with a weekly commute from Bend area? I don’t want to leave but I have loved living in Bend these last few years and am trying to decide if I rent a small apartment back in Portland for the 4/1 and keep my house in Bend... — read more
New Era of Tech ?
Tech leader who knows how to drive sales, products, supply chain efficiencies instead of coming from a washed yp discount retail chain or tech B2B saas background? Lets go I’m excited
Leaving
I am starting to reconsider my desire about staying. The work is drab, the money I get has nowhere to be spent. No nightclubs or bowling alleys, no places of recreation except the trade union dances. I have had enough.
New CTO
What’s y’all’s thoughts? I immediately came here with excitement to read the complaints!
Wtf is going on here
Everyone knows JD is a fill in CEO but previous post calling out VPs is right. What do most of these people do? Want to know the reality of most of these people? They are not even good talent and wouldn’t be VPs at other companies so they stay at... — read more
Our VPs: the real problem
How many VPs do we have that just coast and take the paycheck and act like they’re moving the needle? Probably a lot! Sadly our culture of being pirates has given way to politicians who come in or go up the ranks without any idea of what our... — read more
