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
Shouldn't it start here?
"We are not currently performing at our best, and I ultimately hold myself and my leadership team accountable" Shouldn't the first one on this 2% be our fearless servant leader?
What does all of this mean for ETWs?
If we report to middle management and they’re terminated. Who lets us know our contracts have ended or we’ve been let go as well? Realizing it’s completely different for ETWs than FTEs but we’re nervous about losing our jobs too. Anyone have... — read more
Previously laid off and have tips
Get all personal files off computer now (it will be difficult to get back). Get receipts if you need them. Early morning is when invite is sent for a 15 minute meeting. They all title it differently but it will be to the effect of a conversation or... — read more
Stay positive even if your time at Nike ends.
Layoffs are never fun or easy, but if it’s meant to be and you are let go, make the most of it. You were and are obviously a gifted, talented individual, otherwise nike wouldn’t have hired you in the first place. Take time, do the things you didn’t... — read more
WFH
US Global Technology was told to WFH next week.
WFH during layoffs
I’ve heard rumblings for a couple weeks now that we might be asked to stay home next week during layoffs to avoid any incidents. Any truth to this?
Which teams are being asked to work from home?
Can everyone reply with their organization name if they had a follow up communication from their org top leader and if they were asked to work from home next week?
If you’re dealing with addiction..
Just wanted you to know that you can do this. The last week has been absolutely brutal for me, looking for an outlet, a way to soothe and escape. The coming weeks won’t be easier but we can do this. You can lose a job and find another job, but your... — read more
What if you’re on leave
will you get a call from HR in lieu of a meeting? anybody know?
Any reduction in NsRL or innovation?
The email specifically lists those departments that do not have reduction. Does it mean NSRL or innovation might be impacted again?
What time in the AM will HR meetings go out?
This is going to be a long night
Would someone be able to share the email?
How long have you been at Nike?
Trying to break the stream of rightfully depressing posts. How long have you been at Nike? What do you do? How long do you plan to be here?
The Email

The time is here! I don’t know about you all, but I’m locking myself in the bathroom hours on end.

Next 3 weeks PTO
So what happens if I have next week off and the following 2? If the layoff happens when I’m away do I still technically have a job while I’m out? Does HR need to have a call first?
It has begun
Good luck everybody
Have a job offer on the table
I have a job offer in front of me which needs relocation. Does someone knows what happens to my profit sharing plan that comes once a year at the end of fiscal year? Do I loose it completely or fo I still get for the number of months I have been... — read more
Asking for a severance package?
Is this even possible? Anyone know of anyone who has done this?
We need to clear out the toxic senior leadership
That will solve 90% of our problems. We can deal with the remaining 10% once we have competent leadership.
NK from Sustainability is gone
Anyone see NK’s update on LinkedIn? Shocked that there wasn’t an official announcement. He has been there a long time and has been a very visible leader internally.
MP coming back?
Seeing him on campus more often. I know he's on the Board, but he's also got a lot going on Disney these days.
APLA Announcement
As part of Nike’s strategy to drive bold growth and deliver with speed and at scale, we will be combining two of our territories, Central and South America (CaSA) and Mexico, to form a new, single APLA territory – Latin America, or LatAm – effective... — read more
Be careful of who you trust. I was just sidelined.
I am so scared. I trusted the wrong person and now I don't know what to think. Fu-k! I might have put myself on the list.
Ugh
The inflated ego of Directors through VP’s that don’t get cut is going to be brutal for teams to work under. They’ll be psyched with raises and new teams but the under paid below them will be exhausted from the stress of waiting and wondering for... — read more
Maybe it’s time for all of us to look for better jobs
Having the threat of layoffs for months over our heads is the sign of incompetent leadership. I fear that this time around it is also a sign of the company on its way to fade out. This will be hard for both those who will be laid off and facing this... — read more
Say Something
I wish leadership would say something already...the vibe at work this week is wayyy off because everyone can sense something is about to happen. Every meeting we walk to or leave everyone is asking what's the latest on layoffs. Can they at least make... — read more
VPs
When do you think VPs will be read in?
Are we having fun yet?
Given the state of the world, the unsustainable market base for Nike products, and a company willing to cut to the bone to make it more profitable- it is quite likely that Nike is a zombie brand. The vast majority of customers cannot afford Nike... — read more
Strategy next%.
What a bunch of cr-p!!! Same bs just like all the other changes.
All of us who are still at Nike are on borrowed time
That's just a fact.
How long have you been at Nike?
It seems that some of us long termers are really feeling this one.. We’ve made it through this many times, what makes this different? It’s Jon Donahoe. This man is no better than an overpaid actor. He announces our layoffs before Christmas just so... — read more
Let’s all just take this moment to all agree…..
That: 1: JD is a worthless piece of garbage with whatever talent he might have is still unclear. Layoffs su-k. Nike su-ks for putting us through this roller coaster Regardless we will come out better on whatever dude we end up... — read more
Like the walking dead
I've been at nike for the better part of two decades. And I've actually loved 95% of it. I've had great managers, worked with mostly cool and talented people, and enjoyed getting to connect to sport through my work. I've always felt supported to have... — read more
Sabbatical Hours
Does Nike pay out the 100 sabbatical hours if you don’t take it before leaving? I am aware that PTO hours get paid out but not clear on sabbatical hours
TechOps Blood Bath
Just talked to the VP and techops is in the cross hairs trying to move everything to the geos.
