Why are we hiring GT VPs/SDs and a CIO who have only worked for 1 company before Nike? EC - only Walmart, MD - only AWS, LP -only AT&T. So they bring in BS like "work backwards" with no clue how it will work in a different organization.

He is a strong leader and has a proven track record. Nike was a mess when he stepped in, and he brought a culture of winning and sport back in! He hired a fantastic CDIO in RL, who got the shaft, was personally responsible for (also shafted) former... — read more 

I’m talking about quitting, not severance. Do I need to take my PTO before I give notice or will it be paid out as a lump sum when I leave if unused?

Thank you JD for helping us celebrate MJ's birthday in fashion with layoffs. You're nothing but a politician. You tried to make yourself and your incompetent LT look better by stating 2% of layoffs by including those that won't be affected in the... — read more

Does anyone know if all of the "come talk to your VP and HR" emails went out this AM or if they are trickling out throughout the day?

I know this site is about layoffs, and that fo-e sure is the worst that Nike is doing. However, I also find it really annoying that corporate Nike tells us in January you must come to office M-TH. Now, with layoffs happening they're like work from... — read more 

After these 2 rounds are done, we’re looking at months or years of cleaning up the damage, doing more with less. I’ve been through this 3 times in my tenure. It’s exhausting. If I survive these rounds but my job changes or we’re consolidated with... — read more 

Some people are having the VP meeting invite to let them know that their team won’t be affected in round 1. So, while it’s going to give you a feeling of impending doom, it may not be a disaster. Keep your chin up and know that this is not a... — read more 

I don’t understand how SB keeps posting about van when the house is on fire

Corp announces that layoffs will take until the end of Q4FY24 and expect people who don’t lose their jobs to stay focused and go to the office four times a week. Heartless MFs.

What are some questions I could be asking on the HR call where they let me go? I’m a U band. No stock vesting. Only ESPP. Is severance standard? Is there any negotiation on the way out or do you just take what they give you and say bye?

Got an invite for a meeting a few hours later with one of the VPs in my org (specifically from her admin). I don’t see HR on the call but I’ve also read elsewhere here that sometimes they get a separate invite. I’m expecting the worst, but I don’t... — read more 

… and it’s not working. Public pronouncement yesterday of 2%, which is merely rhetoric doubling down on previously announced layoff at earnings… clearly indicates this layoff is for stock bump. Unfortunately it’s not working. Wall St needs... — read more 

Here’s what I want to say, but know I won’t, if I get the meeting invite with HR and my manager: “To the extent you personally had nothing to do with this, I wish you well. To the extent you did, f*ck you.”

After formal announcement , Nike shares are dipping low which says nobody likes layoff and it is not solution to make company profitable! Lay off is the worst decision by leadership and management and should be avoided at any cost to save brand name!... — read more 

That wasn't always true but that's how low we've fallen. These are sad days for Nike.

From JD’s email, “we are currently not performing at our best, and I ultimately hold myself and my leadership team accountable “ That statement might mean something if he and his LT where the first ones out :/

Or 2%, globally. Apparently, the layoffs will not impact employees in stores and distribution centers or those in the innovation team.

Take care everyone and good luck going forward.

You know you’re doomed when your CEO calls himself a servant leader. Highly effective and proven leader would never. Zero growth in 4 years is shameful. Look at the stock with no growth…. That’s his CFE folks

This thread encapsulates how this is going for Nike. https://x.com/sockjig/status/1758326225154781646?s=46 (I do not know this person)

Is anyone else not able to sleep? Any tips on how to deal with the uncertainty and anxiety? How are you dealing with it?

A well planned out disaster by JD because he doesn't and never did care. How much is this guy worth? As he's sitting on his sofa with whatever drink in hand planning his next company to demolish. Is he the only one to blame? No. BoD is also to blame... — read more 

What criteria do you guys think they use for layoffs? Role/Performance ratings/Org/other?

So, if your group isn't told to WFH next week, does that mean that we have to wait until May to find out our fates? So not only do we have to just sit and wait with the anxiety, but we have to come to campus next week in what I am sure is going to be... — read more

He should lay off himself.

Anyone have any leaks on the “comprehensive package”? Or he throwing scraps out his jet to the working class?

If Nike intends to survive and prosper, they may end up having an issue with workforce recruitment after this disastrous handling of layoffs. Who in their right mind would want to work here with so much stress hanging over them for months on end just... — read more
