Thread regarding Nike Inc. layoffs

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 paid attention and enforced” regarding going to work for competitors?

No I’m not a reporter or a troll or any of that nonsense, just a person trying to provide for their family and while the severance and savings gives me some time… I would sleep a lot better being back working and moving forward. Not one to “take a break” or sit around and hope for the best, not with the responsibility of a family.

Thank you

When your termination day approaches in July, they will reach out to your manager if you have a noncompete and ask them if it needs to be enforced. If they say no, then you are all set. If you hear nothing, then it was not enforced.

Unless you were in product design and know about releases or upcoming highly classified product information, it is unlikely they will enforce your noncompete.

Just remember, if you do have a noncompete and you accept a role with a competitor, you have to notify them otherwise you jeopardize your severance. It’s one of the conditions of the noncompete.
