Is there a way to know how many people Nike laid off in the last two years, since layoffs became the main tool to fix the failing numbers?
This is most likely how the layoffs will continue to play out:
It will likely be soft phases, less than x-x at a time every 90 days to avoid Warn until the big shifts, which we know are coming and always come after massive leadership moves My question is how is anyone surprised ? This is how reorgs work at... — read more
Everyone Should Read This
I’ve been browsing this site for almost a year now, and I’ve probably read most posts and replies during that time. This might be the best post I’ve seen. Everyone should read it. @c2+1jvnynzz9 “Nike was never supposed to work. It was a chaotic... — read more
Job offer?
Finished interviewing 2 weeks ago for an internal role. Heard the job needs approval to make offer/hire. Anyone else hearing this? Anyone get an offer recently?
Nike lays off tech staff following weak Q4 forecast
Sportswear retailer Nike NKE.N is laying off some of its employees in its technology division, a company representative told Reuters on Monday. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2025/05/20/nike-layoffs-tech-staff/83751557007/
Delusional employees
Folks who think they're "needed" and that makes them safe make me laugh. If there's one thing I have learned during my 11 years with Nike, it's that no matter how essential you are or how few people can do what you do, you're not safe. The decision... — read more
Is it only GT facing more layoffs, or is no one in the clear yet?
I can't keep up with all the rumors.
When will the layoffs happen?
It seems like every post lately people are confident that layoffs are coming. I haven’t heard anything from my direct reports. Can someone confirm?
Savings
With layoffs looming, how much do you currently have sitting in your savings and checking accounts? Let's talk cash on hand, no investments, just liquid funds. I'm reevaluating my emergency fund and wondering where others stand. Also, how much do... — read more
Would new leadership help?
I'm just wondering whether removing the entire ELT and bringing in a competent team could still help right the course of Nike, or if we have already reached the point where the damage is so deep and the brand so compromised that no amount of fixing... — read more
NKE is $40 stock
Longtime shareholder here who has sold off. This is a $40 stock in a turbulent market with no comeback in sight. If you’re smart you’ll sell your shares… Nike might have marketshare but it decreases every year. It’s not captivating anyone and the... — read more
How do the layoff meetings go?
GT ETW…how do layoffs work here for us? HR meeting scheduled then they drop the hammer? Is it early or late in the day, or anytime? Told to WFH that day? By our manager or HR? Never spoken to HR once here, heard we may be affected so just curious how... — read more
There will be no turnaround
Nike has shifted into a cycle of cuts and reorgs driven solely by the need to manage the stock price and serve the interests of shareholders and the C-suite. We're not going back to being a dynamic, visionary, and creative company. From here on out... — read more
Good luck
Watching all these layoffs roll through Nike has been brutal, especially with good people getting tossed into this awful job market. If you're one of them, I hope you land somewhere better soon. Meanwhile, the rest of us are just waiting to see if... — read more
MD - Who’s next?
We’ve seen CPI and CFC take action. When will the others showing their cards? GaME, DAI, TechOps, and EADP it’s no secret that these are bloated organizations, and even those within them are aware of it.
Nike marketers
Yall doing okay? Most of the convo here seems to be about GT (not totally sure who or what they’re talking about), but I’m guessing a bunch of marketing folks are quietly observing. Are we all good? Hopefully the CMO’s promotion means some good stuff... — read more
Internal SAP consultants to be completely or almost completely phased out?
After reading the post-layoff email from CF, it’s hard to find even a glimmer of hope. Everything points to the fact that this was just a pilot, and more cuts are only a matter of months — maybe even weeks. This message sends a clear signal: we’re... — read more
Nike Contractors Laid Off Today
A number of Nike contractors were laid off today with very little warning. We were told the contracts were getting renewed, but they cut about 1/3 of the data managers. None of our managers were involved in this decision; it was all upper management... — read more
I wouldn’t mind being laid off at the next opportunity
I'm a designer, and the past two years have been incredibly exhausting and demoralizing. Nike no longer resembles the company it was when I first joined. I've been actively looking for a role elsewhere, ideally at a smaller company. The corporate... — read more
NKE rebound?
NKE is up around 16% last month. Has the long awaited rebound finally begun?
That new Nike ad… so catchy

Severance
Anybody know what the severance packages are this time around?
More layoffs to come…
Earnings call in a month won’t be pretty. SLT already crafting the narrative. While JD spoke of cuts to come, EH will instead speak to cuts that already happened. Messaging meant to show more proactive leadership. Dust off your resumes and start... — read more
This round goes to ACN
Mass layoffs in SEC and CF&C. Later get a mail that strategic vendor will take over. ACN 1: Nike FTEs 0 CF and MF shamelessly persist despite their incompetency. Is this what EH came to Nike for? Looks like JD was infact much better atleast for... — read more
Which areas are being hit?
People report CoreERP losing a lot of people. So sorry, everyone.
theyve been let go
finally CS is gone... idk the fate of APLA but with HON gone it makes sense....
I'm confused
What does a WFH mail mean? That you're getting laid off or that you're not getting laid off? How are people notified? Asking as a newbie (9 months here), just so I know what I can expect tomorrow.
And it starts, got WFH mail for tomorrow
Got mail from CF, so it starts again. This is for SEC and CF&C teams
Crickets
HR must be in an off-site.
Nike leadership should send DJT a thank you card
Now they’ve got the perfect excuse for the company tanking. Just blame it on tariffs. “It’s not our fault, it’s the economy!!!” Meanwhile, anyone paying attention knows internal management and decisions are a complete mess and only getting worse... — read more
It's sad to see how fast the excitement fades for the new grads
They roll in bright-eyed thinking they’ll change the game but Nike reality hits them soon and hard. By month three at the most that spark is gone. At least they learn quick and bail before getting trapped like the rest of us. Watching hope die that... — read more
CPBMO reorg
Heard rumors of a reorg happening in CPBM ops. Anyone got the tea?
What is going on?
I don’t have a team, I report to a VP and been at the firm for only a few weeks. I am on an unpaid leave due to a family emergency. Can you problem tell me what has been going on? Are there layoffs?
JDI in June, Confirms Layoffs in August
Since they’re moving JDI to the end of the fiscal, we’re definitely having layoffs Late August Early September. Buckle up! In the words of the infamous JD speech in 2020: “You all asked for this!” If you want a package tell your leader you’re... — read more
Are there more layoffs coming?
With the recent announcements, do you think there will be more “retirements” announced? What level will the layoffs go to? Senior Director? Director? All the way to bottom of the org?
How long do you give it
Before the new flying formation cleans out their coups? 3 months for new org or do you give it 6?
Keep the Faith …. But be more like Faith
I find it amusing and maybe a little ironic that Nike is the sponsor of Faith Kipyegon’s quest for a Sub 4 minute mile. In my corner of WHQ, the smallest of decisions take days - sometimes weeks. Fifteen MONTHS later we are still trying to put the... — read more
When is GT announcing it's restructure?
Pretty much all the organizations have completed their restructuring. When will GT announce its plans? Hoping to say goodbye to a few VPs here as well.
Any word on merit increases this year?
Wondering what folks might have heard around raises/merit increases this year. Think we'll be back in the same boat as last year with a flat percentage across the board regardless of your CFE rating? I know the PSP outlook isn't great, and that... — read more
