What a lame event… super forced. if anything, feeling more demotivated than ever to stay at this company / readying my resume to get outta here. The lineup of cars leaving campus at 3pm are all likely in agreement.
Nike's Middle Management
Here is a question for folks that have experience outside Nike. What's your opinion on Nike's middle management if compared to other companes where you worked at? I am not fishing for info or trolling, I am not looking for names are trashing of mgmt... — read more
Just do better
What the ELT is doing right now is clearly not working. I’m not the only one who went from loving his job to hating it with a passion. Things need to change around here and I wish somebody at the top would realize it before too many good people leave... — read more
Here comes the covid
Are we supposed to pretend covid isn’t happing? My team is getting hit hard and we already are getting the “well we have to get this meeting in” guilt trip… Hate to say it but this was all very predictable. Leadership doesn’t have the guts to... — read more
West Campus is a MESS. Welcome back "Have nots." Not TP, no cleaning, garbage everywhere
West campus was not AT ALL ready for a return to office. The hallways are littered with stuff, the garbage is never taken out, the conference rooms are DISGUSTING, There are no monitors in many of the conference rooms (Just spots on the wall where... — read more
Growing a career here
I have no complaints for now. Compared to my previous job, Nike is a fantastic place to work. The only thing that worries me is that many are already telling me not to count on growing a career here. Is that true? I’ve always thought Nike is a... — read more
Covid runs rampant
The number of meetings I had canceled this week because people who have returned to campus are now out with covid is RIDICULOUS. Will Nike acknowledge it? No. Do anything about it? No.
Great pretenders
The main reason I loved working from home so much was because I didn’t have to watch all the pretenders in the office. Who wants to be around while they are making themselves appear competent and useful while being neither? I guess no one. And... — read more
Nobody can consider themselves safe
I've been here long enough to have seen people on all levels (outside of the ELT, of course) be shown the door. I've seen people shaken to their core because they honestly didn't see it coming. I felt sorry for them but I also had trouble... — read more
Does anyone actually like their job?
Do people on this board actually like their job (albeit, we all have things we don’t like I.e returning to the office in my case). Or is everyone just plain miserable? It means different things when someone who is miserable posts and comments vs... — read more
Another new Diversity Officer!
MM has run off another one what is this like 7 in 5 years? One common thing across all of them and thats MM. Not a yes mam then say good bye. At least rumor in HR is she retires this year so hopefully real change comes with all that and sooner... — read more
How many are counting the days to June 1st?
I’ll raise my hand… get my psp and I’m out of here.
Nike Tech is buckling
Attrition is continuing to rise. Why the lies from above that our attrition is normal? It's not normal. Morale is lower than low. No one wants to be back in the office. Get it over with and just chip us so you know where we are at all times. ... — read more
Back on campus
Employees who are dissatisfied and frustrated about returning to the office are unproductive employees. Why do I think Nike will quickly regret that decision?
Layoffs in 3, 2, 1…
Everyone been following recent earnings for Adidas and Under Armour? Both companies got HAMMERED on account of the fact China has essentially been closed for a few months. It’s not just China though. Increased transportation and wage costs are taking... — read more
Good ideas not being heard
Why does Nike no longer seem to want to hear good ideas? Often times great ideas coming from employees are being ignored. Those same employees then go to a competing company and progress very quickly. When I first started working here, employees'... — read more
Day one commute included
Childcare and commute meant I was in the office at 9:30 and I left at 3 to take afternoon/late meetings at home. Is it going to stick, or is this just the first week...
Took all Zoom calls from the office today
Is this the Nike “culture” our senior leaders said we would return to?It sucks
Monday 7am
Thanks JD for creating this culture :(
50th anniversary
The company’s milestone is a great occasion to celebrate the contributions of past and current employees. Unfortunately, it no longer seems to me that Nike appreciates anyone's contributions. I expected that celebrating the 50th anniversary would... — read more
Employee store selection
Holy he-l, did anyone work at all over COVID or try to develop product? What did I just see? In all my years the employee store has the most garbage selection I have ever seen. No wonder they making us go back in…now I’m actually worried about my... — read more
Tomorrow we do the death march
Back to the salt mine. Blah. So d-mb. Can't wait to sit in the middle of a Zoom call center.
Peter Moore RIP No More Strassers left
With the passing of Peter Moore, how many folks are still alive, or know the names on the JUSTICE list, that Strasser showed the Dassler's in Munich, that he Strasser could guarantee, and that many Ex, and current at the time, NIKE employees, had... — read more
Linkedin WTF
What’s up with LinkedIn and Nike employees positing some absolute cringe posts? I mean, maybe i’m behind with the times, but did being melodramatic on LinkedIn get updated as a requirement I the employee handbook? “8 years ago I walked on to campus... — read more
The LinkedIn Influencer
Has anyone else gotten tired of the employee that’s become a LinkedIn Influencer?? I have had ENOUGH!!!
How to succeed at Nike
I see a lot of disgruntled people here. Many complaints about poor pay, lack of career progression, carrying the weight of cr---y colleagues, out of touch leaders, etc. I’ve been massively successful at Nike even though the last time I did any... — read more
Sources of stress
In my case, the biggest sources of stress are the big ego of my manager and being overloaded with more than ever. What is your biggest cause of stress here? Unfortunately, there is no more joy here like there used to be. Now there is management by... — read more
2000 Jobs Created

Moving up = popularity contest
Sometimes it feels like I'm back at high school when it comes to furthering my career here. It's not about working hard and it's not about experience. All it is is a popularity contest. There's no incentive to work hard and there's plenty of... — read more
Who will succeed John Donahoe?
What do you think, who will inherit the Nike throne?
They don't own us!
Let's stop this fiefdom.
Why do we reorganize often?
I am puzzled? Is this normal? Do other companies do the same?
Everyone wants to leave
No or low bonus Low base increase Poorly managed return to work strategy Increasing expectations and less resources My whole team is looking for the exit. Is it just my org or every where?
Expectations are growing
I am happy to have a job doing what I really love and that is why initially I saw high expectations from employees as a challenge. But now I think Nike is starting to take things too far with its very high expectations from their employees. - How... — read more
Admin expectations
I'm hearing that it's illegal to have hourly admins work over eight hours a day? Is that true? I know I'm expected to work until about 10pm and start at around 7am. Is that normal? I'm new to Nike. Did I make a mistake on taking this job?
Pay increase... In line with Inflation?
I wonder what will happen at year end? Will our pay increase track against inflation which is currently at over 8%? What increase will nike pay out? will we get an increase.???? 5 - 3% aint gonna get it done!!
Bonus
Does anyone know what I will miss out on as far as bonus goes if quit on June 1st (bonus eligibility for the year required staying through May 31st) instead of waiting till the bonus is in the bank this summer?
Constant reorgs
I would really like to find a job in a company that doesn’t have as many reorgs as we do here. Why all these reorgs? Is anything getting better after each reorg? I don't think so.
Identity Crisis
I've had 4 titles and 4 managers in Tech in the last 2 years. This is not normal.
