Seeing another Chief executive hire this week and more VP hires. Can someone explain the logic?

Nike built the LeBron James Innovation Center to look like the future. And inside, they’ve apparently figured out how to manufacture the past. The Innovation team has a pretty simple process: Start with a decent idea. Overthink it. Add a bunch of... — read more 

Seriously? I heard they’re running out of space and moving to a bigger location… all to make room for more hiring. Must be nice.

September’s layoffs will be fu--ing brutal but don’t worry, Nike’s galaxy-brained leadership will graciously ‘support’ you all the way to the exit, then congratulate themselves for showing empathy.

Has anyone heard any intel on layoffs or restructuring in September? Will it impact everyone? Or is this just the ongoing rumor?

I see this being mentioned here and there... But what exactly is NikeFlow?

Did EH fix us yet? Pathetic

NIke really needs to address its hiring and assess talent and performance culture. Business is in the sh*tier and leaders can no longer get by with keeping their friends and inner circle safe. Right now, way too many people are getting by purely on... — read more 

I have read over the years, poster who as employees saw inexplicable behvior, moves that defy any rational reasoning. I am surprised this Board is not followed more closely by the Investment community. It may be a gripe hangout, but over these many... — read more 

Genuine question: I joined within the last year and recently interacted with a DE, but honestly didn’t understand much of what they were saying. Do DEs typically write code and have a good understanding of the systems they work with?

Let’s continue to hire multiple million salaried leadership people that need to be trained, cut Nike engineering experts and have a fake ITC office where nothing gets done yet we pay millions for. Surely that will fix our issues. Bravo, brilliant.

Word down at the watering hole is that CFOs fixin' mandate to take a mighty sharp kn--e to everything, and he ain't fixing to waste any time doing it, neither.

If we had products people wanted to buy would we be in this situation? If we were selling products hands over fists, a lot of the issues we see today would be swept under the rug. Placing the state of Nike right now solely on the whole innovation... — read more 

At what point do we stop calling this a “turnaround” and admit Nike’s leadership sc--wed up? The stock is sitting around $38. That’s after years of bad decisions, losing momentum with younger customers, getting buried by competitors, and turning... — read more 

Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if VA eventually replaces EH as CEO. A lot of people senior leaders are frustrated that we still haven’t seen the turnaround everyone was promised. EH is unable to get the business moving again, especially around... — read more 

Early June this year Di-k's sock traded as high as $239.00 and in little over two months, it hit $124.31!!! That makes Nike stock price look pretty good. Wall Street is opining that sporting goods industry has hit wet patch and two giants hit the... — read more 

Anyone notice this trend increasing? ES leading supply chain planning innovation is a good example. She consistently represents work she knows nothing of as her own. Weird, because she does it mostly on the topics/project she knows the least about... — read more 

I am thoroughly enjoying the plethora of armchair quarterbacks out here daily pretending they know exactly how to fix Nike. The vast display of ignorance is quite entertaining!!

Two things today, EH hires back a multi 6 figure role that was eliminated previously “it is needed to improve relationships”. Innovation and newness is what retailers want. What is needed is skim EH executive direct reports does the board really... — read more 

Any worried about this reorg taking place? I’m worried it could mean layoffs, apparently multiple directors were pulled into HR offices at EOD today.

It's only vibes and fake narratives. 0% substance or achievements. That'd be the entire post.

In December, CW was exited and the role was eliminated by Hill stating it was to remove layers. Today, role is reinstated and offered to JE from Walmart and is now considered a vital role and critical to the strategy. Optically speaking, this is... — read more

Why are so many “leaders” sharing their business lessons here? No Nike leader is listening. Let’s get back to what this forum is actually for. If anyone has real intel on layoffs, reorgs or what’s coming, speak up

Nike went from “Just Do It” to “Just Blew It.” The stock fell from its record closing high of $177.51 in November 2021 to $39.48 on August 25, 2026—a nearly 78% decline. The Swoosh has become a downhill chart. 📈

Nike just not having a good decade.

Don't expect the company to care. It never will.
