Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

What do you do if ER lies about an investigation they conducted and goes back to H.R. with false information and wrongfully terminates you?

Forget about going to any Nike 'support', whether it be ER, HR, or whatever fu----g acronym BS name Nike decides to give it. Do whatever you can to record/video/track any conversation/email/communication with anyone in 'corporate' and use it later to provide to journalists to expose the utter corruption and lack of common human decency within Nike. Because believe me, they don't give a flying fig about you or any complaints you may have about anyone in their ELT. Their only concern is to avoid publicity. So my advice, is to make any information about the BS, SA and other oppression/s-xism/mysogyny/racism that you experience at Nike go as public and viral as possible and expose their complete and utter hypocrisy.

My ER complaint against a Sr. Director for bullying was closed 3 times without action or resolution. After the 3rd time is was closed my entire department (which was basically me & my teams) we were transferred to report directly to the Sr. Director I'd filed the complaint against. I left Nike soon afterwards and yes this was a RAT hire.

Rat is gone but the droppings are still here. Why doesn’t HR do an inquest into all the Kohl’s hiring?

HR leader is the most toxic & biased leader this company has. Full stop. She has destroyed the Nike culture since she took the job.

She is worst than all the people she used to complain about.

RE: groups that do investigations. Nike has ER, HR and Investigations. Investigations and ER usually partner pretty closely but Investigations is 100x better because Investigations doesn't make employment decisions, they just interview people to find the facts and pass it over to ER/HR/EL to make a decision. Whether or not ER/HR even care what the facts are is an entirely different issue, like another poster said, it just depends on how they're feeling that day. HR sucks. I have not been directly involved in anything, but sit in Tech and there have been so many things that have happened in the last 6 months. I have coworkers who are dealing with HR right now and HR is an absolute mess. I have a coworker who was reached out to about an issue "submitted on their behalf" to HR and they had absolutely NO idea what was going on and thinks that HR accidentally reached out not realizing the "investigation" was supposed to be confidential. This company just feels like a mess in general. But bottom line, dont trust ER/HR to have your best interest in mind.

It is interesting how many post get deleted that don’t have name’s mentioned.

As someone who has worked with ER and employment law, I agree it’s a pretty big mess. I think what the most concerning is the complete lack of consistency. It just depends on how everyone feels that day, not real facts to determine the outcome of issues.

I have seen employment law give a pass to someone stealing just because they are “talent we don’t want to lose”. While if you are just a random people no one cares about you’ll be fired. I couldn’t be around that work anymore after seeming in poorly and unfairly managed. I agree with the people saying dismantling it is the best solution. It’s time for something new.

Who signs ER/HR employees checks? Nike! That’s who they are loyal to. Not rocket science! They will protect Nike to the lengths that if you leave Nike, their lawyers will contact your new employer and ask for your employment information to try and intimidate you. Yes that’s right folks, don’t for 1 second ever forget the Maxim, “Nike is a company.”

The fix is to go to work for a different company. It has always been this way at Nike HR/ER and wont change. Nike protects its chosen leaders and bottom line. The minute you start complaining you get a target on your back. I was witness to years long reigns of te---r that were "tolerated" in the name of things getting done for the business.

Not sure why my post was deleted. So ill post it again. ER needs to be completely dismantled and moved over to the actual investigative group at Nike. ER people are not investigators. They are generally all from HR. They do not know how to investigate and collect evidence. I don't know why Nike has two investigative groups. Needs to be just one, and it shouldn't be ER. Employment Law doesn't want them, yet wont give them up. the ER/Emp Law area is just a massive trainwreck. It will never get any better unless things change at the top.

Worked at so many places in my career -- all HR is bad and tries to protect the company. But Nike HR is the most toxic of them all. There is a reason it has such a bad rap and so many negative posts here and elsewhere.

Lol. For working in tech how did you not realize “+1n25qVlO” is the post ID? Only “@####+” is the individual comment ID

Need to read the TOS of this site. You put peoples names, it gets delete. Abbreviations are accepted because it can leave doubt.

Someone is actively deleting posts that name and shame MM

What does a good HR/ER department look like? I’ve worked for 5 employers and they all sucked. Anyone has examples? Maybe they should dismantle them and have managers determine who gets fired.

You guys this has been posted a thousand time and nothing!

ER is a joke. Any one expecting process run by experts and professionals who communicate clearly and timely… not going to happen. No one wants to fix this department which is disappointing since I thought Ann Miller was one of the better leaders. We

As far as HR, good luck. I think it’s a lost cause and until Mo M is gone, no one will care or trust any thing from them.

It’s sad that people are so upset and no one cares but look back at posts on here. HR and ER failing are topics all the time.

@1psp+1n25qVlO good call out but it’s not same posters. I’m this is a lot like Craigslist tons of duplicate IDs in posts. FYI all, no one really takes this platform seriously. I sometime read for entertainment but if you are truly seeking advice or truth it’s not here.

HR and ER at Nike sucks! Until we fix these two departments, all the moonshot ideas will forever be dreams.

• HR presided over Ratnakar Lavu hiring the entire sc-mmy IT dept from Kohl (1000+ employees), and yet did nothing. Rat is gone, rest of them are here destroying Nike one sprint cycle at a time

• Vendor mismanagement. What was Nike HR doing? There were shell companies with ghost employees. We are also getting screwed with the consultant contract fiasco.

• HR at Nike is full of people with the worst social skills at the company. Should be a case study for corporate Tourette syndrome and foot n mouth disease.

Nah, I hate HR too. Nike has the most arrogant hiring process. We can only afford that with artsy roles.

Tech? Yeah. We literally lose more talent than we hire because HR is so slow to process anything, they just accept another role while we take a month to get back to them.
Our archaic approval system hurts the company with each open headcount.

Umm hey HR person, the author said they reported retaliation to HR and they told them to put their head down and work? Is that good HR work?

I went to HR because last summer after getting promoted over a peer found out from coworkers this coworker put him own sp-t all over my keyboard and joked that he hoped I’d get Covid. My HR partner told me that it was hearsay and that I should try to have meaningful conversations with this person about how to better work together. HR is also the problem.

I didn’t realize there is another team who investigates things. Why do we have two groups doing investigations? That seems weird. I’ve had nothing but terrible experiences with ER as a department leader. I had to meet with one of there leaders a few years ago about an issue on my team and I’m I thought she may have been drunk. Not even joking.

Have you thought about going directly to Ann Miller? Wouldn’t that team report to her if they are lawyers? Or could you go to this other team who conducts investigations and ask them to help you instead of ER? There has to be someone who knows what they are doing. I think they need to fire Mo. it’s been too many years of this.
