At what point does the head of HR or oversaw SJ and the DE&I debacle, and then oversaw and cleaned up for the RAT get held accountable. MM - show yourself the door please…
Terminated due to policy violation
I was terminated from Nike due to a policy violation around Nike Giving. I donated to an org around 2017 and that org asked few Nike employees to pool money and donate. Some got kickbacks. I did not know it’s illegal to pool money and donate. The... — read more
Bye to WFH?
I’m hearing rumors that Nike will go back to a 5-day in person work week. Among the reasons is that it would nudge people to leave Nike though natural attrition so as to avoid a layoff. Another is that innovation is best in person. I’ll be... — read more
Grounds for filing harassment complaint?
Advice needed: Long before the RAT this group I’m in has been operating under command and control mode. It’s been a year and the leadership of the dotted matrix team I was put into due to recent reorg is passive aggressively sabotaging me and my... — read more
Layoffs in HR?
Someone in North America HR was laid off yesterday and S band conversations are happening - is this the start of the rest to come?
I'm sick to my stomach
How many times or players? Why is ethics still an issue? How many times do we have to go through this? I say fire the recruitment team; they can't do "due diligence". How many times can we go through this? Another reorg as usual? Lord help us... — read more
It's not just us
I just read that one of our suppliers in Vietnam is getting rid of more than 6k jobs. Layoffs are not just happening in astonishing numbers in the U.S. but also around the world. It's only a matter of time before we're hit once again. I'm worried... — read more
Whispers of Reorg
We're coming up to the 3 year mark from the last reorg and there are whispers. Anyone has heard anything?
I don't know why "everyone"' here complains and doesn't report it.
Individually? I understand, but as a collective, you would have an impact. Ironically, Just Do It!".
Layoffs last week
Last week there were layoffs in Brand Creative. Is this true? Was this an isolated incident or were there more groups that were hit? I find it strange that layoffs happened and we haven't heard a peep about it. Not that I expect the leadership to... — read more
They are two types of employees
They are two types of employees, There is the type that wants to do something meaningful and there is the type who are out to benefit their own career. Usually company start with the former and become incredibly profitable, attracting attention from... — read more
So many changes happening
Hold on. Please don’t be silent. Everyone’s voice is essential. Speak up if even on this site. Tell everyone. Sh-t is about to go down.
If someone started first of this year, do they get bonus?
Or would they not be eligible until 2024?
I am the "I hate Nike" person
After long sessions with my therapist, I need to apologize to everyone for my outbursts. She suggested that I reach out and encourage anyone going through similar pain, to report it regardless, if you are he, she, they or whatever... if you feel... — read more
So many layoffs on Friday
Found so many sudden layoffs on Friday (2/3) Any idea?
Fraud Analysts Checking Out my LI profile!!??
After being at Nike almost 13 years (with a stellar reputation without even a whisper of anything unethical associated with my name), in the last 2 years, I’ve had my LI profile viewed by Nike Fraud Analysts at least 4x. What is the insinuation? It... — read more
I'm being very picky with my next job
I used to primarily look at pay. If it was a decent increase from what I was making, I'd accept the job. then I started working at Nike and I realize that there are many more important things. Now I'm first and foremost making sure that the company... — read more
Another Tech ReOrg is underway
Saddle up amigos! Here we go again. Cognizant isn't alone. This is in addition to Cognizant. We had a disaster reorg last year and we're looking at another one; another disaster. What is going on? This is from a good source and I'm hoping that... — read more
Khol’s VPs are a bunch of clowns
Each one is worse than the last!! These guys are ranked on who can get deepest into the Rats backside, not on any technical acumen or leadership skills. Biggest joke of a leadership org in the industry…
Nike Laid Me Off and Now I'm Seeing the Truth: The Shocking Insider Secrets of a Corrupted Company
WTF is going on at Nike? I've been here for 10 years and I ain't seen nothing like this before. Management's always been shady but now they're just straight up evil. They're getting rid of good people left and right and replacing them with robots and... — read more
Thinking of Applying to Nike
Hey, So one of my dreams is/was to work for Nike. Like many of you, I have a lifelong passion for sports and now some skills assorted to help build upon this. I am a writer, can make books, as well as do some video. I have been lurking on this... — read more
High turnover implications for those who stay
I was wrong when I thought the turnover would be reduced. Many of my colleagues have left recently. I don't know if the leadership is trying to address employee turnover issues in any way, but I've noticed that Nike continues to lose too many good... — read more
Give us flexibility and remote options
You in person teams, we get it, but it's not for everyone. Nike? When will you wake up to the new reality? Tech should be remote. We're tired of paying for your weird buildings and no parking. Not our problem that you invested in stupid real... — read more
Finally out.
I wish everyone the best of luck. Stay true to yourself and what you stand by. Never give up.
Remote work is not a black and white issue
It isn’t a binary issue where remote work is “good” or “bad”. It’s more nuanced where sometimes remote work makes a lot of sense and sometimes it doesn’t. This depends on a number of factors including your particular role at Nike, your org, the... — read more
HR or ER needed
The admin community is a joke on slack. They only respond to VP admins. What happened here? During the pandemic we were a great team! You’re leaving a lot of admins out to dry with no help. Where’s the community? In person meetings isn’t the... — read more
Curious
It's obvious that Nike won't ever promote remote work and their excuse is that we're a team as in sports teams. However, we've moved away from sport products to leisure apparel. That doesn't add up to the reality. My point? Why not allow for more... — read more
Nike store in downtown Seattle to close on Jan. 20
The Nike store in downtown Seattle is closing near the end of January. A sign was recently posted in the window of the sportswear store at 1500 6th Ave. saying that it would be closing on Jan. 20, 2023. At this time it is unknown why the store is... — read more
Any leaders in Tech you trust?
They keep saying no layoffs. I don’t trust that’s the truth.
They're reading your Slack messages!
I would hope in good conscience no one is actually talking trash on slack. Word on the street is a couple of people were told to leave because of their Slack history....
ETW contracts not renewed this year?
I heard this from a few folks but not a direct source. Can anyone confirm and if it's for all orgs?
Nike to outsource Tech Ops to Cognizant.
This is a Sh@# show. Seems like Nike is going to force most FTEs to move to Cognizant as an ETW or lose their job. Cognizant is going to take over. I guess that this is the grandiose plan. This was always Rat it the car plan. Once more we get fu!@#$... — read more
I’m so tired of the dirty.
Nike is known for this. I’m in the middle and it sucks. Can’t Nike be honest? Likely will never happen. I’m so depressed and I feel beaten. I literally want to die.
At Least we are not adidas
Breathe out, at least we aren't our neighbors sinking and purposly releasing trash product. It's not always greener on the other side, those stripes are miserable. Have friends who are eager to leave or get severance for service. Now they are... — read more
My manager is a disaster
They think they are a great manager. They have obvious and deep insecurities. (Hello botox, lip fillers, and crash dieting.) They are always spaszing out, and feel threatened by other women to the point of attacking them and making a scene ... and... — read more

Alright, what was with the big “event” today
If you don’t know what I’m talking about I heard lots of buzz about something that rhymes with pooter and starts with “sh” (dunno what words are banned here). Anyone know what’s up? Got one half of folks talking it up about it with all sorts of... — read more
Overwork and burnout
Stress and burnout are affecting too many people here. I personally have never had more work to do. For now, I'm trying to continue to do my best for the fear of losing my job, but in the meantime I hope to be able to land something else. How do... — read more
