Topics regarding layoffs at Nike Inc.

We've lost so many good people

All the smart and technical folks are either long gone or are actively working on their exit strategy. Nike used to be the place that attracted the best but that's no longer the case. I've been here a long time and watching the quality of the... — read more 

What happens end of July for non vaxxers?

Accommodations expire at the end of July, and the on site testing center is also closing. The process to come on campus for non vaxxers now includes getting tested at the on-site facility. Any intel on what happens end of July? Do accommodations get... — read more 

What are the leadership's biggest mistakes?

Nike is slowly becoming a bigger and bigger mess. Of course, the leadership will not be interested in feedback, but anyway, where do you think they are making their biggest mistakes right now? I would like this to be the company that I used to love... — read more 

Org chart in flux

If nothing else, the benefit of working with someone for a long time is that you know what to expect. It's become a bit exhausting for me to have a new manager every few months. I don't even have time to get used to the manager, because a new one is... — read more 

July layoffs

Which areas are expected to be hit in July?

I'm so tired of my boss I'm considering quitting

Why does Nike promote incompetent people? There are more than enough excellent employees who know what they're doing and who possess the people skills needed for management positions. My new boss of six months is not supportive, provides no guidance... — read more 

Nike did much better in earnings than many expected

Considering the constant inflation and the situation in China, many have expected much, much worse results. Nike did as well as it could with the external factors being what they are. I will never understand why people like to diminish positive... — read more 

How much do you care about your job?

So, there are more and more people who say that they are not afraid of whether they will be laid off, giving the impression that they no longer care about the job here, and yet they are still here. This is not easy to understand. I also think Nike... — read more 

At top of comp range

I made a lateral job move mid-year to a new department with no change in pay and turns out my pay is at the very top of my new job’s range. I am assuming there is very little ability for my manager to increase my base pay this review season… Does... — read more 

Anti Choice or what?

Hey did anyone else see a recent social media post claiming Nike donated $267K in 2020 to anti-choice candidates or their political PACs. Then… recently virtue signaling by offering travel benefits for those seeking reproductive health care out of... — read more 

Almost everything has changed

Now that I’m leaving, I’m thinking about how much the Nike has changed in the 10 years that have passed since I got the job here. It's as if nothing is the same anymore. How much has Nike changed since you came here?

Nike Earnings Out Today

CDO & CDA were both announced around the timing of year-end earnings. Wonder what surprises we have in store today? At least we should finally know our PSP %.

Be prepared

I've read in several places that more layoffs are coming to Nike, with tech most likely to be affected. This is especially bad considering all the recent layoffs in tech and the fact that now a lot of people are applying for the same jobs, which... — read more 

Do you find purpose in your work here?

This is a frank question. I know that the job pays bills but in general, do you have any sense of purpose related to your work here? Does Nike really have any mission any more (aside from generating piles of $$$ for folks that, aside from capital... — read more 

Getting COVID… again

One week of COVID sick time when we are going to get it every quarter feels like a slap in the face on top of the return to workplace mess. We are going to lose so many people and recruiting is hard. Am I the only one feeling something must change?

Is everyone back to campus?

Heard not everyone is back. Is this not the case? How do you avoid coming back to campus and what days are people working remote? Do most teams have a standard?

Covid Spread

Anyone else feeling lost and confused. Got covid from work and spread the covid to my family. Trying to take care of them but it now feels like getting covid is my fault and getting shamed for working from home. Did this WFH for 2 years and now... — read more 

Bonus + Pay bump?

I heard They aren’t doing either this year hence the delay… any truth?

They would get rid of anybody and everybody

Everyone here used to have a pretty good idea how safe their job was. You more or less knew how valuable you were and how much your work was needed. That has now all changed and we saw it in the last layoff when high performers who performed critical... — read more 

All is backwards at Nike

In certain moments I get sickened by how much our company culture turned into something opposite than what it used to be. That can most easily be seen through the process of promotion. It has become a patent that the least competent and most lazy... — read more 

Bonus info?

Anyone have insights on what the bonus looks like this year? IF there is one, of course

Took less than a year

The training process did not prepare me for what to expect and how to deal with a certain situation. Even then I gave the company the benefit of the doubt. There were favorites that got special treatment - but you find that in every corporation. The... — read more 

Job stability

What kept me at Nike all these years, among other things, was that I had a sense of stability in my job. Since last year however, I no longer have that sense of stability. I talked to my colleagues about it and I was surprised that there are still... — read more 

Employee morale is no longer a priority here

Ever since I started working at Nike, morale has never been lower. It is interesting to me that a company that once gave the impression that the morale of its employees is top most priority to them, now does nothing to boost the morale. Why is that... — read more 

BI article

Anyone have a link to the BI article on tech and the leaked survey?

2 week notice

Tips, tricks or advice for putting in your 2 weeks? Should you let your direct manager know first? Or VP level? From what I've seen Oregon doesn't require employers to payout PTO, does Nike always Pay it out?

Adidas Company store

Anyone else got by mail to their home address an Adidas company store invitation for 50% off?

Leaving Russia for good?

It looks like Nike is leaving Russia for good (or at least for the duration of the war, which is likely to drag on). I admit, I didn't see this coming. I support it 100%, but I didn't see this leadership doing something that would potentially hurt... — read more 

Recessionary times

Recession hasn't arrived yet, but I'm already afraid of associated issues, namely whether Nike will be forced to significantly cut back in workforce. Any thoughts? Also, I don't know if it's a good idea to quit and look for something else now... — read more 

What is going on in WD&C?

This group has seen their highs and lows over the years but even prior to Covid to today this team appears very toxic. The amount of reorganization/restructure/leaves/returns in the last year appears to have taken its toll on the team on the front... — read more 

Why don’t they offer a buyout?

If they want so many long time employees gone maybe this is the better and even less expensive way to go, Instead of keeping people in a constant state of fear.

Next scandal: StockX

StockX has revealed that “hundreds” of Nike employees including “senior executives” have been selling shoes on StockX. I’m guessing you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to speculate that a good number of those sales involve the selling of shoes... — read more
