Getting severance is not set in stone. It's up to the company whether it wants to offer it to employees it plans to lay off. What some of you are doing is sitting around and waiting for a package that might never come. In the end, you might end up in... — read more 

Are there are positive harassment/ discrimination reporting stories where DEI or HR stepped up to resolve issues?

That consultants aren’t our golden goose? JD & Co, McKinsey, Bain et al, these people are at every company. They are NOT Nike ppl and don’t get what makes this place tick. If we want to be an average company then we should keep them coming. Asking... — read more 

Do you know of one person who still likes their job at Nike? I certainly don't.

I know that Nike has previously offered generous packages for people that volunteered to be laid off. Any chance of that happening this time around?

This is the second large layoff for the talent acquisition team. Surprising? No! Anything Nike does now a days doesn’t surprise me. If you are a Talent Acquisition professional stay way from Nike.

Just announced today that Nike will be conducting mass layoffs on the brand creative teams (Insight Global), and likely with Dentsu/Filter too.

Well done hiring McKinsey and crushing Nike culture. Enjoy ? : https://youtu.be/AiOUojVd6xQ?si=VwohS5FLFCLubg9Q

Rumors of an official hiring freeze announcement might be coming soon. Looking forward to an org restructure with interim management.

So, it’s looking like the slow boil that is the Nike employee dynamic has resulted in a ridiculous toxic stew of ineffectual holdouts and leftovers with a few dedicated, competent folks sprinkled in between -and drowning. Competitors on your tail... — read more

The privilege on some of these comments is incredible. I was laid off this year after nearly a decade, and you're up in arms because you have to potentially go back to WHQ one more day a week (like most of us did for years and years)? Please leave... — read more

If there was unity among Nike employees, nobody would comply with the new RTO mandate. Plenty of other companies have seen their employees band together to ignore RTO orders and were forced to either back down or find a compromise. Sadly, as much as... — read more 

Alright now that we’ve gotten the shock out of the way, it’s time for action. I’m not sticking around until January to either RTO or get laid off. What companies are remote-first or at least very flexible hybrid? Can we start a list? — read more 

Why don’t you ask a few longtime employees what they think is happening or about to happen? If they give you a positive response, it’s likely they’ve been threatened with termination. If they give you the truth, they just don’t care anymore. This... — read more 

JD has decided we need to be at work and because HR messed up the 3/2 MM was quick to say we are dropping the hammer on people who don’t comply. They are creating ways to monitor like badge records, VPN and such. Remember the people they had walking... — read more

ELT cannot offshore most tech work to a geo 12.5 hrs apart and expect folks in seats core hours. Our counterparts will be asleep. My spouse is a nurse and has no comment.

I work 10 to 12 hours a day. And this is how you appreciate me?

Nike is your baby. You are a boomer and no insult to your era. You’re trying to protect your billions of stock. Back in your day, you ruled regardless. Today is a different era; 53 years ago or so? Maybe not. Different times now. Are you too old... — read more

What are the power-users and -sellers going to do? Will they still have time to flip all the stuff they find on sidewalks? HR and Comms should learn a thing or two from them on how to engage employees — never seen more traffic than anywhere else.

Did anyone watch the JDI Phil and JD interview? PK said he wants people in the office 5 days a week and we should want to be there 7. Read the room.

Congratulations to JD for being such an outstanding leader and for turning the company into a complete dumpster fire. You’re ki-ling it as CEO man! I can already see him on stage getting the award and clapping for himself! Rockstar!

Start quiet quitting and looking for a new job.

This announcement is going out this week with no room for exceptions and everyone needs to be back in office. Thoughts? Curious on if anyone who moved will leave or move back
