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
4,000 Workers at Nike Supplier in Indonesia Sent Home as New Orders Dry Up
https://jakartaglobe.id/business/4000-workers-at-nike-supplier-in-indonesia-sent-home-as-new-orders-dry-up
I keep hearing that advancement opportunities are available
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
What if?
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?
Leadership teams traveling to offsites to attend FIFA World Cup Games
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
CS to be announced to new executive leaderhsip role
GC isn't workinmg out!
laid off folks - what's the status
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?
2% raises coming
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.
Severance
When will I receive my severance pay after being laid off in April?
Yeah right
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
Caregivers Exceptions
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
Nike's Rank - WSJ - The 2026 Best Companies for the Future
The Wall Street Journal evaluates how leading US corps stack up in 6 areas: AI readiness, innovation, talent readiness, financial fitness, resilience and agility. Nike is one of the strongest non-tech names in your list. It ranks #36 overall with... — read more
US leaving pdx and moving jobs back to MD
Seems like other companies aren’t interested in Nike talent. Under A is packing up and leaving Portland metro,
Offshore is Scam! ITC doesn't want to hire experienced engineers who worked at WHQ even if they are willing to relocate.
15yrs experienced software developer from cognizant (offshore) who is working for Nike for last few years doesn't know what is github or doesn't know the meaning of commit / repository. I mean literally some resources don't know anything and i am not... — read more
SpaceX vs Nike
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?
Useless HR
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?
AB, AC, and JC sure are working FAST
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
A huge miss by the World Cup team
EH built a huge ticker out front counting down the World Cup and you couldn’t manage to make your shoes different colors than the competitors? It’s literally a sea of pink cleats, impossible to set apart the brands. Nike in a nutshell, who is to... — read more
One year ago today
One year ago today I was laid off. It was a rough start as I thought i was going to be at Nike for the foreseeable future. Since then though I started a business and just hit $500k in personal earnings. Not total sales. It’s been wild. Once I let go... — read more
Tech after layoffs/reorg
Anyone else spending most of their time training their new useless leader on what tech is, what their new area does, and wondering the value of the useless leaders salary while waiting to understand direction and deliverables. Still tons of dead... — read more
Layoffs don't fix stock prices
Layoffs don't fix companies or stock prices. Nike. What a sad mess.
Embarrassing Company
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
Sec
What a waste. Millions and millions of dollars. Same issues, thousands of incidents. Thanks tech leaders. Your message of automation for the issues vs root cause is ridiculous. Also - what again is sre embedded doing vs asking for status of... — read more
Lets Talk About SM
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?
Converse
Is it being reset? Or gutted? Nothing makes sense
Why is it so hard to communicate with recruiters?
One of the toughest challenges I've been having is communicating with recruiters for design positions. I feel like the layoff is the only place I can say my frustrations without being ostracized. I know if I were to post about this on linkedin, I... — read more
RPO = Redundant Process Overhead
Is it really the elephant in the room anymore? Is it a value add when you just create extra work to validate your existence and add work to teams that are already understaffed? We all know it’s to validate the existence of SB but this is just... — read more
The problem is lack of vision and long term planning
We lack vision and long term planning. We opt for layoffs because it's the easiest option to free up capital when our stock is going down the drain. We forget that the employees that we let go have context and knowledge domain expertise. By the time... — read more
CISO resigned?
Just heard AS put in his notice, was he pushed out or decided he had enough? Anyone in CIS heard from him? Not super surprising with CIS buried in FAST. What does this mean cybersecurity at Nike?
PSP?!
What’s the chances we actually get a bonus this year? I’m thinking it’s pretty slim, but also hoping for at least the minimum of 25%. Wishful thinking?
AS leaving
It stupid to have security under FTS/FAST to begin with. I don’t get it!…MD and that CIO guy were two of the worst hires in the history of the company. Idk think they know what they were doing. He only did a year then left!…he wanted everything to... — read more
One of the very few good company programs
It must be out of GPS, but I really like the program where we hire people with mental disabilities to clean the kitchens throughout campus. I genuinely think it's nice even though it's not always convenient. But I don't think we've taken this... — read more
The one thing they can't take from you
They can take your time, your energy, and your sanity if you let them. But they can't take your dignity unless you hand it over. When you leave, whether it's your own choice or not, walk out with your head high. Don't give them the satisfaction of... — read more
Rumor: CS to be named next CEO
She’s doing such an incredible job in china that rumor has it she is already being promoted to CEO and will oust EH out of the role! Good riddance eh welcome CS!
Who will be the next CEO?
It’s clear EH isn’t the one. Who will be next? Will it be our goddess and savior CS per chance?

Loved everything about Rip the Script except WTF was Kim doing there?
It should be all about the athletes, and the amazing action sequences, then you got that fat lipped prost---te standing there doing nothing, and they had to repeat her name a bunch of times at the start. She literally made the entire thing into... — read more
What is wrong with Nike?
Besides broken systems, unqualified leadership and performative culture?
