What’s up with these events today like they have been a long time tradition? What’s the point of hyping these irrelevant events? What the he-l is a swoosh cup? Is there anything more irrelevant than a Nike Mile? Perhaps they trying to cover up the... — read more
JDI Day = Day Off?
Are people actually going to JDI day or do some people use it as a day off? I really don’t have that much interest in going, and I think my team is kinda doing whatever. Wondering if it’s abnormal to not partake or how people approach JDI day... — read more
Nike should issue eighty times the number of Performance Improvement Plans then handing out layoff notices.
Because 99.9% of the Nike employees that are rightfully issued a Performance Improvement Plan are going to flunk it. Then Nike can fire them rather than issuing a layoff notice then paying unemployment benefits.
Applying for jobs at competitors after being laid off
Hi, Was laid off in the last round (why do I always type layed?). The job market as many know isn’t great, even willing to relocate it’s still tough out there. So in the spirit of considering all my options, what have people seen as “Nike actually... — read more

So uhhhh…are we not going to talk about this? Results were atrocious. We think anything is going to happen or a lot of hand waving and being told we should appreciate our jobs?

I have a phone that I want to buy. If given a chance, I might also consider buying a MacBook. What is the policy here?
Keeping things simple is typical corporate double talk
If Nike was doing things right then 18 months under EH should have come out with next generation of new designs and new strategy as to how to attack and new story line. Cricket~? Instead from EH all we hear same old recycled corporate restructure... — read more

Barrons: Has Nike Lost It's Superpowers
Nike's turnaround effort has not been a quick pivot, to borrow a basketball term. It has been more like a wobbly slide on a dusty gym floor. The stock price peaked at over $170 in late 2021. It was down to $79 in October 2024, when company lifer... — read more
It's soon going to be musical chairs at Nike. When the music stops a lot of you are going to be without a chair. Knowing that the smartest thing
you should do NOW is bag your Nike job. Give your manager an hour's notice that you are resigning from your job at the end of the day. Let's say you normally get off work at 5 pm. So, you should tell, email or call your manager at 4 pm and say Adios!... — read more

Nike Full of Two-Faced People and Leaders
I’ve come to realize how much worse things have become here following the recent layoffs and changes. People are incredibly deceitful and backstabbing, praising others one moment and then criticizing them in the next meeting to gain favor or serve... — read more
Brand meeting, PHK dedication and inspiring message from the man himself
Cool inspiring events last couple of days. A window to what the best of Nike is all about. And what's possible. Serena was freaking awesome. Authentic, empowered and empowering... she's the GOAT alright. Wanted to note some positivity going into... — read more
The comeback cannot just be a message from the top. It has to show up in how people are treated.
Nike is in the middle of Founder’s Week and JDI Day is right around the corner. Now leadership wants to talk about inflection points, comebacks, legacy, courage, effort, and getting back to what made Nike great. I get the history. I get the speech. I... — read more
PK to the team
Strong story doesn't save companies. Strong work do! I like that and He's correct—companies survive on output, not narrative. But that's a principle for stable times. When the house is already on fire, "just keep working hard" starts to sound... — read more
World Cup Nike vs Adi
Just watched an emotional video for the curaçao by Adi and then checked what we have and it’s photos of current / former players and different artists / celebrities . Really hope more is coming - this just feels sad 3 weeks before the start

Nike has become such a weird company when it comes to talent
Management talks about wanting talent, but people who stand out often end up managed like they are a threat. Add misleading job descriptions into the mix and it is no surprise people leave frustrated.

Why doesn’t Nike fire under performers?
Nike only lays people off when changing the organization structure, not when someone is doing a really cr-p job or royally sc--ws up a business. Why doesn’t Nike fire people more often for poor performance?
Any idea if we are getting PSP or not?

my take is that Nike is too big!!!
Nike just kept moving forward for last 40 years at 90 MPH. the issue with Nike is that they are too big. They are in every aspect of sports business. Akin to adidas in 70s, Nike is too many things!! License product, performance product, non... — read more

It's abundantly clear that the executive leadership does not care to listen to anyone of importance to the company. Don't plan on attending anything of meaning to them. Boycott the PHK naming ceramony and JDI day. Employee engagement surveys are... — read more
Wait, Nike used to be a great place to work?
