I've read in several places that more layoffs are coming to Nike, with tech most likely to be affected. This is especially bad considering all the recent layoffs in tech and the fact that now a lot of people are applying for the same jobs, which... — read more
Rate the ELT (one to ten scale // 1 = very poor; 10 = excellent)
Score + Tell us why
Do you find purpose in your work here?
This is a frank question. I know that the job pays bills but in general, do you have any sense of purpose related to your work here? Does Nike really have any mission any more (aside from generating piles of $$$ for folks that, aside from capital... — read more
Getting COVID… again
One week of COVID sick time when we are going to get it every quarter feels like a slap in the face on top of the return to workplace mess. We are going to lose so many people and recruiting is hard. Am I the only one feeling something must change?
Is everyone back to campus?
Heard not everyone is back. Is this not the case? How do you avoid coming back to campus and what days are people working remote? Do most teams have a standard?
It’s hard to believe that Nike no longer wants great talent
At one time it was a pleasure to work with most knowledgeable and capable people from whom I could learn a lot. As the years went by, I realized that Nike no longer cultivates such a culture. Roles once held by experts, are now being performed by... — read more
Anyone heard from our CDIO?
I suspect he is job hunting.
Covid Spread
Anyone else feeling lost and confused. Got covid from work and spread the covid to my family. Trying to take care of them but it now feels like getting covid is my fault and getting shamed for working from home. Did this WFH for 2 years and now... — read more
Bonus + Pay bump?
I heard They aren’t doing either this year hence the delay… any truth?
They would get rid of anybody and everybody
Everyone here used to have a pretty good idea how safe their job was. You more or less knew how valuable you were and how much your work was needed. That has now all changed and we saw it in the last layoff when high performers who performed critical... — read more
All is backwards at Nike
In certain moments I get sickened by how much our company culture turned into something opposite than what it used to be. That can most easily be seen through the process of promotion. It has become a patent that the least competent and most lazy... — read more
Bonus info?
Anyone have insights on what the bonus looks like this year? IF there is one, of course
Took less than a year
The training process did not prepare me for what to expect and how to deal with a certain situation. Even then I gave the company the benefit of the doubt. There were favorites that got special treatment - but you find that in every corporation. The... — read more
Next round of cuts?
Have there been any rumors?
Job stability
What kept me at Nike all these years, among other things, was that I had a sense of stability in my job. Since last year however, I no longer have that sense of stability. I talked to my colleagues about it and I was surprised that there are still... — read more
Employee morale is no longer a priority here
Ever since I started working at Nike, morale has never been lower. It is interesting to me that a company that once gave the impression that the morale of its employees is top most priority to them, now does nothing to boost the morale. Why is that... — read more
BI article
Anyone have a link to the BI article on tech and the leaked survey?
2 week notice
Tips, tricks or advice for putting in your 2 weeks? Should you let your direct manager know first? Or VP level? From what I've seen Oregon doesn't require employers to payout PTO, does Nike always Pay it out?
Adidas Company store
Anyone else got by mail to their home address an Adidas company store invitation for 50% off?
Leaving Russia for good?
It looks like Nike is leaving Russia for good (or at least for the duration of the war, which is likely to drag on). I admit, I didn't see this coming. I support it 100%, but I didn't see this leadership doing something that would potentially hurt... — read more
Recessionary times
Recession hasn't arrived yet, but I'm already afraid of associated issues, namely whether Nike will be forced to significantly cut back in workforce. Any thoughts? Also, I don't know if it's a good idea to quit and look for something else now... — read more
What is going on in WD&C?
This group has seen their highs and lows over the years but even prior to Covid to today this team appears very toxic. The amount of reorganization/restructure/leaves/returns in the last year appears to have taken its toll on the team on the front... — read more
Why don’t they offer a buyout?
If they want so many long time employees gone maybe this is the better and even less expensive way to go, Instead of keeping people in a constant state of fear.
Next scandal: StockX
StockX has revealed that “hundreds” of Nike employees including “senior executives” have been selling shoes on StockX. I’m guessing you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to speculate that a good number of those sales involve the selling of shoes... — read more
Feeling appreciated?
What a lame event… super forced. if anything, feeling more demotivated than ever to stay at this company / readying my resume to get outta here. The lineup of cars leaving campus at 3pm are all likely in agreement.
Nike's Middle Management
Here is a question for folks that have experience outside Nike. What's your opinion on Nike's middle management if compared to other companes where you worked at? I am not fishing for info or trolling, I am not looking for names are trashing of mgmt... — read more
Just do better
What the ELT is doing right now is clearly not working. I’m not the only one who went from loving his job to hating it with a passion. Things need to change around here and I wish somebody at the top would realize it before too many good people leave... — read more
Here comes the covid
Are we supposed to pretend covid isn’t happing? My team is getting hit hard and we already are getting the “well we have to get this meeting in” guilt trip… Hate to say it but this was all very predictable. Leadership doesn’t have the guts to... — read more
West Campus is a MESS. Welcome back "Have nots." Not TP, no cleaning, garbage everywhere
West campus was not AT ALL ready for a return to office. The hallways are littered with stuff, the garbage is never taken out, the conference rooms are DISGUSTING, There are no monitors in many of the conference rooms (Just spots on the wall where... — read more
Growing a career here
I have no complaints for now. Compared to my previous job, Nike is a fantastic place to work. The only thing that worries me is that many are already telling me not to count on growing a career here. Is that true? I’ve always thought Nike is a... — read more
Covid runs rampant
The number of meetings I had canceled this week because people who have returned to campus are now out with covid is RIDICULOUS. Will Nike acknowledge it? No. Do anything about it? No.
Great pretenders
The main reason I loved working from home so much was because I didn’t have to watch all the pretenders in the office. Who wants to be around while they are making themselves appear competent and useful while being neither? I guess no one. And... — read more
Nobody can consider themselves safe
I've been here long enough to have seen people on all levels (outside of the ELT, of course) be shown the door. I've seen people shaken to their core because they honestly didn't see it coming. I felt sorry for them but I also had trouble... — read more
Does anyone actually like their job?
Do people on this board actually like their job (albeit, we all have things we don’t like I.e returning to the office in my case). Or is everyone just plain miserable? It means different things when someone who is miserable posts and comments vs... — read more
Another new Diversity Officer!
MM has run off another one what is this like 7 in 5 years? One common thing across all of them and thats MM. Not a yes mam then say good bye. At least rumor in HR is she retires this year so hopefully real change comes with all that and sooner... — read more
How many are counting the days to June 1st?
I’ll raise my hand… get my psp and I’m out of here.
Nike Tech is buckling
Attrition is continuing to rise. Why the lies from above that our attrition is normal? It's not normal. Morale is lower than low. No one wants to be back in the office. Get it over with and just chip us so you know where we are at all times. ... — read more
Back on campus
Employees who are dissatisfied and frustrated about returning to the office are unproductive employees. Why do I think Nike will quickly regret that decision?
Layoffs in 3, 2, 1…
Everyone been following recent earnings for Adidas and Under Armour? Both companies got HAMMERED on account of the fact China has essentially been closed for a few months. It’s not just China though. Increased transportation and wage costs are taking... — read more
