Nike is struggling. It isn’t Nike anymore.
Nike leadership remember the saying it's doing the right thing when no one is watching. Well in case you have not noticed the whole world is watching. Stop getting rid of aged and tenured employees. It's good to have a mixture. Insiders see what's happening.
