This keeps getting buried in the thousands of posts. Can we create a clean post with just the list of impacted groups (spell it out, no one knows what your acronyms mean)? And what level - VP, Sr Dir, Dir, Manager, IC, etc. Don't worry about the people, no one knows who all these initials belong to. Maybe that will help people determine what actually falls under corporate enabling functions.

None of these platforms discussed endorses posts containing personally identifiable info (PII) of non-public figures. Same goes for other similar networks like Glassdoor or Reddit. If a post on any of those platforms contains someone's full name or too much identifying information about him, sooner or later it's gonna get deleted.
Having said that, I have to admit that OP is mainly right. Roles impacted are not top-secret. Even Nike uses this info in their statistics. If we stay vague enough not to reveal people's identities we can inform each other about what's happening and still respect other people's privacy (i.e. name roles and # of impacted if dpt. is big enough, skip some revealing info if dpt. is small...). I see no reason not to do it.
@bwp+1ragosDP - try using the big blue "active" button right above the first thread. It sorts threads by the last activity (when the most recent reply was made). Or use this url: https://www.thelayoff.com/nike?sort=active
Not sure why the hate. It’s a reasonable question…there is little information, many people are stuck at home with no visibility. It is natural to try to understand the scope. I know it’s a high-stress time but presume innocence.
Names are not allowed on Blind either.
I wouldn’t trust blind. I created an account but there’s no way I’m associating my work email.. Not in a million years.
It’s just LinkedIn for quiet quitters with a job still. It’s a great way to alert Nike about how you feel.
It also feels like scraping the bottom of the barrel. It smells of desperation in there. Kinda like it does here.
Anyone signed up on Blind? Why do they ask for work email?
@1kdb+1ragosDP OP literally said not to include names, or initials. Reading comprehension, dude.
Names cannot be posted here. This is explained in every post. Before you request information on the site understand how it works before barking orders. Another useless post bumping all the good posts out of sight.
You need to go to Blind for that… no trolls and more specific info
This just speaks to how little communication there has been shared with MOST of us. All I have is a vague acknowledgement of JD email from VP/SD. I’m curious what all orgs are going through because the communication is awful & anxiety is high.

I don't get the backlash here. I think it is totally reasonable to want to know which groups are being included in phase 1 seeing that they have provided ZERO information to help people navigate through this and we still have three more days to go this week. OP wasn't asking for names. They were asking about functions and levels to try and get some grasp on how this is going down. It's reasonable to want to know that.
We should start with your name and title. Lets make sure you’re on the impacted list.
Threads don’t bump to the top with replies here. So it’ll get buried no matter what. Best just to repost every now and then
Honestly unless this is pertinent to your job, you don’t need to know. If you were personal friends or worked with the person, you will know. Otherwise it’s not your business
Maybe respect the privacy of those impacted and don’t air it on a public form. This post from OP reeks of toxic gossip. Maybe ask how you can support people and now how you can air their dirty laundry on the internet
go touch grass people
Why do you need this information?
