LOL....Sr. Directors! There is not one who knows anything about anything in that group. They all excel at one thing: take the credit for the work the directors do as their own work.

So, Directors are “executives”?

@bxgm+12qBx3fG - yeah, this gem from the nike director running for mayor of pdx

"There was an employee protest at Nike recently around the Alberto Salazar issue. What was your position?"

"I did not participate in the protest. I had a lot of work to do that day."

their not all bad. directors know the spin is sh– but stuck between a rock and a hard place
vps seem nice enough but then again you dont become a vp here by being nice
its the usual sr directors. the bully who hates any other woman who takes away the spotlight and cuts them down in front of an audience first chance they get. bitter they keep getting passed up for the vp slot. probably wrote those flyers too.
suprised the cco hasn't been axed yet. how many nyts scandals does it take?

Corp Comms is a joke. These are the most reactive, risk-averse people in the company. Their flyer stunt at the protest is just one example. They spend all their time enabling poor leaders, trying to stomp out every sign of internal dissent (even when merited) and drafting robotic talking points for leaders who don't know how to put real action behind their hollow words. Your spin isn't working!

funny that the flyer "was not officially distributed by Nike" yet uses official nike policy language.

nice touch to spin the protest as a "celebration" of women. ha. gaslighting at its finest

this is insane but a perfect example of how little nike cares

oct 1 - salazar found guilty of doping allegations and banned for 4 years

nov 7 - mary cain details physical/emotional abuse by salazar which is echoed by several athletes

dec 9 - lets have a ceremony and rededicate a building to a convicted cheater and a widely known abuser
