Anyone have any updates on the two retaliation lawsuits?
One named LJ and RL, as well as an SEC investigation for SOX violations. The other I think had to do with NDP.
Also, anyone know anything about the SEC investigation?

Among those laid off were more than 30 software engineering directors and managers from the global tech division. When Donahoe was initially named CEO, no one was more thrilled than that group, say people who worked there. But under Donahoe it had devolved into a mess: a steady stream of engineers quitting, outsourcing some work to third parties, all under a chief digital information officer allegedly accepting bribes and doing “backdoor dealings” with vendors, according to a former employee’s lawsuit filed in Oregon against Nike earlier this year. (The case is still in litigation.) After the digital head resigned, staff had to wait nine months for Donahoe to name a replacement. “Everybody expected to have a great tech leader” in Donahoe, says a former executive who left amid the drama. “He just never showed up.”
Well at least it’s public that the CDIO was doing shady stuff.
@1ian+1usMLxNL some people suffered (lost jobs, mental health issues, treated in dehumanizing ways) greatly under RL and LJ. I think it’s fair that they want to see them held accountable. Maybe if Nike stopped covering up all the sh---y actions of employees it wouldn’t be such an issue.
I’m not named in it ; ) but I would like to see these executives pay for what they have done to the brand as well as people’s lives.

If you are not named in it then what is your vested interest?
