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
I shouldn't be this happy it's the weekend
Is anybody else at the point where they get euphoric on Fridays and depressed on Sundays?
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
Servant Leader | Product | Digital Leader | Sustainability | Supply Chain
Has anyone else noticed that at at least half of the people who work for Nike have their Linked-in headlines starting with “servant leader”? What’s with that? Most of these people wouldn’t know a servant leader if one hit them in the face — 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
New Chicago office?
Anybody here about the new Chicago office they’re planning to open?
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
Rate the ELT (one to ten scale // 1 = very poor; 10 = excellent)
Score + Tell us why
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?
It’s hard to believe that Nike no longer wants great talent
At one time it was a pleasure to work with most knowledgeable and capable people from whom I could learn a lot. As the years went by, I realized that Nike no longer cultivates such a culture. Roles once held by experts, are now being performed by... — read more
Anyone heard from our CDIO?
I suspect he is job hunting.
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
Next round of cuts?
Have there been any rumors?
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
