Also, in June 3 people at the top level of our org were let go. All had been with the company for 15/20+ years. All were late 40's and older.....
2 months shy of 15 years, 47 year old male. Part of the technology layoff in June.
Contact your Congressional representatives on the potential ageism complain. Reference this thread https://www.thelayoff.com/t/P262chE as anecdotal data of older workers being layoff.
File a complain with US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission https://www.eeoc.gov/employees/charge.cfm

Geez...this is pathetic, literally hundreds of years of combined experience and corporate knowledge walked out the door. What is Nike thinking? This shows appalling ignorance of the value of older employees. I bet their much younger managers only saw them as old people sitting in a cubicle. I think there is momentum here to pursue a claim. I've worked in Europe and Japan and can tell you this would never fly there. Even if your job is eliminated you are given options for further employment and given a reasonable time to leave, not treated like a criminal. Anyone know a good lawyer?

I was terminated in the June round. The agreement listed all people (title and ages) laid off, as well as those still employed. I did some analysis on the numbers. Overall average age was ~43 years old, while average age for those terminated was ~48 years old. I'm fairly sure that Nike's decision matrix here was likely not age precisely, but overall employee cost (salary, PTO accrual time).

I am not sure why some put their race. That is a whole different subject. If you look at races, I guarantee that the those numbers by race would be astronomically more than "white male" this country can never let race just go.

THIS close to sabbatical...oh well.

I'm 28 and get contracted job offers all the time for Nike. Actually got an administrative offer today for $16 an hour. And a project manager for $20. I'm young but I know what I'm worth and I know what those roles are worth. Maybe they are looking to balance their financial losses with people who are willing to take the pay I'm not sure. I used to dream of working there but I've seen how they treat people (not all). Even the people who work at the gym who are contracted by outside companies who make min wage and are offered insurance for $500 a month. There has got to be a balance.

Under federal law, it is illegal for companies with 20 or more workers to fire employees 40 and older simply because of their age. Despite these regulations, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission still receives thousands of complaints each year from workers who believe they were terminated because of their age.
Signs you were fired because of ageism include:
· Your company’s “layoff” only included older people (the company may have fired a few younger people too, just to make the layoff look legitimate)
· Your company offered you an early retirement package – the alternative to which was termination
