I have been picking up vibes that a lot of Nike employees here I interact with are antifa. They are pretty open about it and wear it as a badge of honor. I'm trying to steer clear of these weirdos.

I keep hearing about layoffs but nobody will say when. Does anyone know when they'll actually start?

I dont care about Wall Street analyst and media hype. I am curious about what folks in the trenches think.

EH failed. This decade is widely different than the time period he worked at Nike before. He is a boomer, and doesn't belong anymore in the age of social media, AI. Time for him to retire (again...duh!) and Nike need to bring young radical minds to... — read more

Have you guys looked at his history past where he’s worked? Do a quick ChatGPT/Gemini search on his roles at his previous corps. People talking about PE in the other thread. No need. This guy will do the same they’d do, without selling out. His... — read more 

I used to think things could turn around but I don't anymore. The damage is too deep after one too many bad decisions. I don't think there's any saving this place anymore.

Two years to reshape the C-suite? Why wasn’t that done in year one? Feels like another long, drawn out strategy instead of action. If it takes this long to make leadership changes, what does that say about fixing the real problems? And let’s not... — read more

Sorry for the linkedin slop. I'm not about that life on main but yall have been such a huge part of my professional career I have to say goodbye somewhere. I wasn't surprised when Nike laid me off this time around. 4 months parental leave +... — read more 

Leadership doesn’t want to be transparent because you wouldn’t like what they told you if they were transparent. Mainly, that they are now not trying to manage a “comeback” as much as they are trying to manage “an orderly decline in Nike’s... — read more

I'm just not seeing much evidence of it in practice. Most internal openings seem to follow a predictable path. Everyone goes through the application process, interviews happen, and then somehow the outcome is exactly what people predicted on day one... — read more 

Do you think things would be different if in 2019/2020 instead of naming JD CEO they stayed internal going with either EH or ES?

Is it a bit tone deaf that leadership teams are traveling to Mexico and Canada for “offsites” to attend World Cup games? Nike is a sports company and employees should embrace the World Cup but when increases are 0% to 2% and PSP will be , this might... — read more 

GC isn't workinmg out!

whoever got laid off, what's going on in you lives in terms of hunting? did you find anything? care to comment a crisp daily routine and approach you are doing to get back on feet again?

Inflation is not coming for your salary. Gas and food prices are going up, but the standard raise this year is just going to be 2% instead of the 3% we've been getting. Can't imagine people are going to be happy about that.

When will I receive my severance pay after being laid off in April?

Good luck AB and RA and other tech leaders, in shipping tech to ITC and getting them to implement AI to cut support costs. Hilarious Man up and tell leadership we don’t have an AI strategy and that ITC is useless and not really a cost... — read more 

Has anyone had a situation where you’re taking care of a love one and need to work remotely? Does Nike allow this or would it be a case of you would need to resign? I’m the caretaker of a parent who is starting to require more care and I need to... — read more

Seeing a bunch of complaints on Slack about SpaceX and Elon lately. Be real for a second: If you had to put your own money into just one company right now — SpaceX or Nike — which are you actually choosing?

People keep saying to report problems, but report them where? To who? All I've seen so far is that speaking up gets twisted back on the employee. Every single time. So why bother?

The only FAST thing that is happening is that as a result of their direction they are wasting company resources on initiatives with no return. In fact not only do they cost us money the things and processes they building attempting to build are... — read more

Layoffs don't fix companies or stock prices. Nike. What a sad mess.

It’s sad to say, but we’re back to where we started when JD was here. The environment is toxic, the directors are promoted by their friends who are at the top. The vibe around campus is depressing and we have no new innovations. Marketing is just... — read more

So the legal lady comes in to clean up the mess after CG doesn't "do the right thing." But the whole function is worse than ever. What gives? Where is the talent brains and skill in the org spending all this $$$? Are we really going to win this way?

Is it being reset? Or gutted? Nothing makes sense
