Leadership kicked off the meeting, spoke about tough times ahead, then had an inspirational speaker for over 90 mins. But it’s okay, employees got a notebook and a copy of a book written by the inspirational speaker’s boss (Simon Sinek) about “you... — read more

This will be the largest layoff in Nike history
I don’t know the actual layoff number but one thing is certain: this will be the largest layoff in Nike history. More than a few people will be let go who weren’t expecting it. Those people will learn a painful lesson: their Nike job was always just... — read more

Weird Feeling This Week
Wondering if Friday is the day. Leadership seems nervous and has been more absent than usual. Managers in surprise HR meetings. Any one else noticing this?
JUST DO IT ALREADY
I can't take this sh-t anymore.
ELT and SLT
What are you doing? We used to be one of the greatest companies to work for and you’ve turned it into this mess? All of you before 2015, know what we were as a company. Don’t play amnesia. Now? What are you doing? The morale, spirit and team is ... — read more
You are not Nike
It used to be one of the only places in the world where you felt like your life was part of the company at your core, kind of like Tiger Woods. Well that is over, and based on my experience after you leave it’s really very nice to get back to what... — read more
Stop using this board as your source in meetings
Unless your sentence starts with “I read on The Layoff that…” stop acting like this is an actual source. Anyone can say anything here. The second-hand embarrassment is so strong when someone starts repeating Layoff gossip in a meeting, acting like... — read more
Nike training due Friday
You know it’s gonna be a messy layoff when there is company wide mandatory safety training…. on how to run or hide from an ACTIVE SH**TER
Bye FTEs, Hello ETW Nike. Time to Unionize!!!
With Nike looking to let go of about 2,000 FTEs it’s looking like a contractor full company with just random FTEs left in whatever department didn’t get the cut this time. I think it’s time ETWs unionized. They’ve already changed the requirements to... — read more
AC got canned

Guys.. It’s work hours.
Why are you here? If you’re here panick posting, then yeah you probably will get fired. Panicking never helped anyone. Do your job. There's nothing to worry about. Your severance will give g-y plenty of time. You guys seem miserable. Misery and... — read more
We are screwed
Tiger gone and no innovation. Old heads still running the show and ki-ling it. Even the nurse shoes Hoka makes is more innovative than all of Nike now.
Linkedin timeline is one big promotion party
Guess this is just another phase of the reorg, but sheesh.. Feel like 3 out 4 posts on my LinkedIn timeline is another Nike promotion. Let's see how the next phase looks.
Yo! Stop!
This is exactly what they want to happen. Turning against each other won’t solve the problem and only adds to their agenda. Stay strong together people.
See you all bright and early for our first Monday back!!!!!
Who is excited!!!!!!
What day of the week do layoffs normally happen?
Should we be gearing up each Monday? Friday? Every day?
New job offer in hand - what would you do?
I just got a comparable senior level job offer at a different company that will require relocation to a new city with a substantially higher cost of living and with fewer benefits. I’m in a team at Nike that might not see much change or firing this... — read more
Nike Phone
Will I be allowed to retain my cellphone number (Nike’s connection) , or should I transfer it to my personal account immediately?
Nike is a game show
I’ve worked at several large companies, but Nike is at a whole another level. I wish I never took this job. I thought I had it bad before, but this is gross. I can’t do my job without constantly watching my back on who will attack me or take credit... — read more
What was the last severance policy like for Nike??
Does everyone who gets laid off get 60 days paid leave? And then 1 month for every year of service? And What about unused PTO and unvested RSUs? Does my unvested RSUs will became vested? Good luck to everyone! Tough times!
Job market
There's some talk in several threads about the job market being rough right now. Is this true? Can those who were laid off or those who are looking in general please let us know what the situation is like? When I search for open positions, I get a... — read more
Tech leaders
They all su-k except Deepak, who I know little about. The rest? Fu--ing awful and not trustworthy at all. Backstabbing and insecure. Muge? I have no idea. Give her a chance. I know the last CIOs and CDIO since 2013 have been corrupt except for Jim... — read more

No sabbatical payouts
Take your earned sabbaticals now! And your manager can’t tell you otherwise. Use it or lose it, you will not get paid out for the time if laid off. Please do yourself this mental health favor. You deserve it for all the BS you’ve endured over a... — read more

How Does It Go Down? Tips?

Stop the FUD, worry about what you can control
Reposting this comment as this forum is filled with more and more trolls: I mean this kindly, but anyone who feels this level of emotional impact from a corporation needs therapy. It is not healthy to have your wellbeing and self worth be tied to a... — read more
Do they have a list already? If yes, then what are they waiting for?
I know we are all here because we don't know what's happening at the executive level, but is there anyone who knows if a list is out there or if one is being made right now?
The woman with the 6mil lawsuit has nothing compared to what I went through
Do it! I was and still am afraid.
For all Nike cares about perception and storytelling
It sure is tactless to post your promotions when your colleagues are being laid off. Must feel nice to see those with less experience and moving up quickly while peers who are older with more depth of knowledge are getting the ax. Some of these... — read more
I admit that I have a lot of anger against Nike
I’d love to see them fall, because of the pain I’ve been through and sadly will the rest of my life. They don’t care. No corporation cares. The CEOs definitely don’t care. This is the world today. Accept it.
I am not looking forward to layoffs
I know it's popular to say these days that layoffs are a blessing and similar cr-p because Nike is bad and whatnot, but I can't. I like my job. That's why I spend so much time here. I enjoy what I do and I want to keep doing it. I wish all the people... — read more
If you can work remote, why are you claiming a JR desk?
Some of us are required to be on campus, so we gravitate to favorite desks. If you are not required to be in the office because you are still remote pilot, then go away. It's so rude! Thanks for the kick in the teeth, selfish one.
RTO on Monday
So how are we all handling this? Show up, swipe your badge, grab a coffee and leave? That's my team's plan. Such a great use of time and money, thanks JD!!!
Will Supply Chain be affected?
I haven’t read or heard much about supply chain.
Severance
If Nike provided better severance, especially to those of us who've been here for over a decade, I'd have no issues with being laid off. Actually, I would most likely volunteer in that case and I bet a lot of others would also use that as an... — read more
