OP - the turnstiles were a response to a former Nike employee who was ordering high heat product samples from the factories, walking them out the door to his car, and then selling them to a collector:

It su-ks when criminal behavior ruins
an environment of trust for every other employee. It's like the reason we still have to take off our shoes when going through airport security.
I'm throwing my hat in with the folks that were saying that "freestyle" was a significant moment that started ki-ling the employee culture. Obviously, PK getting old and MP retiring also was huge. Nike hasn't been great for over a half decade now from a morale standpoint, and the result of that is spreading everywhere else in the company.

“Freestyle”
Diversity is needed for new ideas and innovation but I have seen many useless people got promoted in last 2 years just to check the box and improve DEI score. And now we can’t get rid of those, that results in fragile systems or delayed go live and weekend work for all teams involved in the program.
I'm not a Nike employee but the same stuff is happening in all companies, so it's not Nike's management to blame. These decisions are required by Blackrock, on behalf of our fully WEF-owned government (btw, it was no different with Trump in the WH) which mandates companies to implement ESG/DEI as a condition of it investing in the company. Same for the RTO mandates. Everything that you see being implemented by the major companies is steered by Blackrock. It's not a coincidence that all of mega corporations are not simultaneously making the same bad decisions. Blackrock's job, on behalf of the WEF. is to mandate what the federal government has no legal basis to require, Read Larry Fink's annual letters on Blackrock's website if you don't believe me. They state outright what they require of the companies they invest in.
