Nike recruiting team laid off

A bunch of recruiting leaders, recruiters, and admin staff got laid off today. It’s not part of the modernization work. It was a business decision based on volume of work and $$$.

Accountability?

At what point does the head of HR or oversaw SJ and the DE&I debacle, and then oversaw and cleaned up for the RAT get held accountable. MM - show yourself the door please…

Terminated due to policy violation

I was terminated from Nike due to a policy violation around Nike Giving. I donated to an org around 2017 and that org asked few Nike employees to pool money and donate. Some got kickbacks. I did not know it’s illegal to pool money and donate. The... — read more 

Bye to WFH?

I’m hearing rumors that Nike will go back to a 5-day in person work week. Among the reasons is that it would nudge people to leave Nike though natural attrition so as to avoid a layoff. Another is that innovation is best in person. I’ll be... — read more 

Grounds for filing harassment complaint?

Advice needed: Long before the RAT this group I’m in has been operating under command and control mode. It’s been a year and the leadership of the dotted matrix team I was put into due to recent reorg is passive aggressively sabotaging me and my... — read more 

Layoffs in HR?

Someone in North America HR was laid off yesterday and S band conversations are happening - is this the start of the rest to come?

I'm sick to my stomach

How many times or players? Why is ethics still an issue? How many times do we have to go through this? I say fire the recruitment team; they can't do "due diligence". How many times can we go through this? Another reorg as usual? Lord help us... — read more

It's not just us

I just read that one of our suppliers in Vietnam is getting rid of more than 6k jobs. Layoffs are not just happening in astonishing numbers in the U.S. but also around the world. It's only a matter of time before we're hit once again. I'm worried... — read more

Whispers of Reorg

We're coming up to the 3 year mark from the last reorg and there are whispers. Anyone has heard anything?

Layoffs last week

Last week there were layoffs in Brand Creative. Is this true? Was this an isolated incident or were there more groups that were hit? I find it strange that layoffs happened and we haven't heard a peep about it. Not that I expect the leadership to... — read more

Fraud Analysts Checking Out my LI profile!!??

Saddle up amigos! Here we go again. Cognizant isn't alone. This is in addition to Cognizant. We had a disaster reorg last year and we're looking at another one; another disaster. What is going on? This is from a good source and I'm hoping that... — read more

Each one is worse than the last!! These guys are ranked on who can get deepest into the Rats backside, not on any technical acumen or leadership skills. Biggest joke of a leadership org in the industry…

High turnover implications for those who stay

I was wrong when I thought the turnover would be reduced. Many of my colleagues have left recently. I don't know if the leadership is trying to address employee turnover issues in any way, but I've noticed that Nike continues to lose too many good... — read more

Give us flexibility and remote options

You in person teams, we get it, but it's not for everyone. Nike? When will you wake up to the new reality? Tech should be remote. We're tired of paying for your weird buildings and no parking. Not our problem that you invested in stupid real... — read more

Remote work is not a black and white issue

It isn’t a binary issue where remote work is “good” or “bad”. It’s more nuanced where sometimes remote work makes a lot of sense and sometimes it doesn’t. This depends on a number of factors including your particular role at Nike, your org, the... — read more

HR or ER needed

The admin community is a joke on slack. They only respond to VP admins. What happened here? During the pandemic we were a great team! You’re leaving a lot of admins out to dry with no help. Where’s the community? In person meetings isn’t the... — read more

Curious

It's obvious that Nike won't ever promote remote work and their excuse is that we're a team as in sports teams. However, we've moved away from sport products to leisure apparel. That doesn't add up to the reality. My point? Why not allow for more... — read more

Nike to outsource Tech Ops to Cognizant.

This is a Sh@# show. Seems like Nike is going to force most FTEs to move to Cognizant as an ETW or lose their job. Cognizant is going to take over. I guess that this is the grandiose plan. This was always Rat it the car plan. Once more we get fu!@#$... — read more

I’m so tired of the dirty.

Nike is known for this. I’m in the middle and it sucks. Can’t Nike be honest? Likely will never happen. I’m so depressed and I feel beaten. I literally want to die.
