Pay me to skedaddle and I will. Offer a VBO and I'll take it and thank you. Just give me a way out in the middle of a lousy job market that's making it nearly impossible to leave on my own.
Upward feedback
Has anyone submitted upward feedback to your manager’s manager?
Elliot is THE man!
How could anyone not like him? He’s down-to-earth, personable, relatable, and genuinely takes the time to get to know people. He comes across as someone who truly cares—and he clearly bleeds Nike. We all know it’s a tough time and that things will... — read more
HON = disastrous experiment
What did she contribute? Honestly. Under her leadership the company growth was cut in half. Dated strategy, nepotistic, gossip monger.
So many of you would probably be much happier if you quit
No shade, I get it. Working here right now su-ks. I agree. But for me, it's still a job that pays well enough. I'm not thrilled, but I'm not consumed by it either. Still, so many people around here seem genuinely miserable. And unless everyone’s... — read more
Does GT need a reorg, lay-off or no changes?
Does GT need a reorg, lay-off or no changes? What’s your prediction and the right thing for Nike GT? EDA&I roles, program and product management roles are some of the extra baggage which needs to be cut, which other roles. Nike GT needs to decide to... — read more
Positive moves are being made
For the first time in a while, I’m actually optimistic about this company’s future. We desperately needed a shakeup at the top and now we’re finally getting it. Let's see what's going to follow.
predictions in the next 3 months
Saw someone post reorg before wellness week with RTO expected after. Can anyone verify? Other announcements coming the next few days and weeks?
HON is GONE!!
Finally.
The reorg clearly hasn’t delivered results
Let alone that we never settled in its wake. Things are still chaotic, at least in my team. We’re heading into challenging times woefully unprepared. So how about developing a clear vision, trimming excess management, bringing in competent and... — read more
Rumor of geo reorg this week
This may be the week that APLA finally disbands and becomes APAC and LATAM. CS is gearing up for departure in the wake of the announcement.
Owning Nike product isn't as "cool" as it once was
Owning Nike product isn't as "cool" as it once was, and charging ridiculous prices for shirts and shoes that aren't that cool with declining quality we've lost the "brand" that once was. Bring back things like the Roche at a $60 full price tag with... — read more
Big week
Ya’ll ready?
PSP predictions
With so much volatility, what's your guess for % payout this year?
It’s ironic…
how the company consistently scrutinizes various roles across the org when deciding where to cut or invest during reorgs/layoffs, yet shows little to no critical evaluation of the roles that arguably have the greatest impact on our performance: the... — read more
Boonus Payout Question
Current employee and I've heard that if you are employed on the last day of fiscal but then leave before August, you still get the bonus payout. Is that true? This is assuming you leave on your own accord in June or July, not leaving as part of a... — read more
Eh must go
Title says it all
Shocking
Wells Fargo Downgrades Nike Stock (NKE) as “Turnaround Is Simply Taking Longer Than Hoped” Wells Fargo downgraded Nike stock, citing further delay in the company’s turnaround amid macro pressures and tariff... — read more
Have cuts started?
I see the reorg is underway but I'm yet to hear of any cuts taking place as of yet.
Skims collab impact
This is the ultimate in desperation and the antithesis of athlete innovation. The growth narrative is so inconsistent and as a shareholder I’m befuddled. Come on EH, your impact needs to be felt beyond clickbait and quick fixes. Leadership is... — read more
Nike’s lost its soul
The passion that used to drive this brand feels like it’s been swapped out for corporate checkboxes and hollow slogans. Remember when people actually believed in the "just do it" spirit? Now it’s just clock in, chase metrics, and hope you don’t get... — read more
Nike sued over closure of crypto business
https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/nike-sued-over-closure-crypto-business-2025-04-25/
Possible Reorg ?
With all of ETWs being laid off, closing Rewards program, does anyone know if there is going to be reorg soon within Nike ? Will Engineering or Product be affected ? Which org might get affected ?
Sorry Folks - NA Campus is Going…
Get ready for N.A. campus to exit leases and move or should I say “shoe ho-n” everyone into NR and MS! Not sure how that is going to work but thank god for freestyle.
Why are you here?
I don’t understand why some people come to a site called the layoff and get angry that we’re not all kool aid drinkers. What sentiment did you expect to find on a site meant to gather people who were or about to be fired? I mean, you can’t be that... — read more
I thought EH said we didn’t need head of strategy?
Didn’t Elliot send email saying DH let go and position eliminated and how we don’t need that role? And now just announced someone from SEC (of all places) will be new head of strategy.
Deep ETW Cuts
If you have not caught onto why your contract has not been renewed yet, don’t keep hoping that it’s the normal Nike incompetence. Expect massive reductions in ETWs at the end of fiscal year. We are talking thousands, not hundreds.
Freeze
Do we know when the hiring freeze will start? Currently interviewing internally.
What is SEC?
I’ve been at Nike for over a decade. SEC has been going on for most, if not all, the time I’ve been here. What is it? Does it have deliverables and deadlines?
Tuesday April 22: Intel to cut 20%

Have you heard that some will have remote status will be revoked?
I have heard that some people will be told that their 'remote' status will be revoked. Can anyone substantiate that? If so, what are the terms? What groups? Will a severance package be given?
Nike doesn’t need a savior, it needs a purge!
Elliot Hill isn’t some visionary outsider here to shake the table. He is the table. The same table that’s been wobbling for a decade. This dude has been chilling in the Nike ecosystem for years while the brand drifted into mediocrity. He’s not a... — read more
Are we getting any bonuses?
Based on how our stock has taken a dump, are we getting anything? Wondering if I should wait or start interviewing.
Cut Geo Tech Teams
What a waste, especially Emea. They don’t solve issues, just whine to global support to fix small things they think are causing the sky to fall. No big picture perspective and too much bloat in leadership. Zero value unless you consider getting your... — read more
Nike is following trends, not setting them
This is the downfall of a company that ruled sport (and even pop) culture from 1980s-2010s. RIP. Employee and shareholders will flock this site for years to come, layoffs will persist and the stock will deteriorate significantly. The magic can’t... — read more
Company-wide hiring freeze
Just heard about this, anyone else hear the same?
EH needs to go
We Hit the Iceberg Twice! He has resulted in a 50% decline in our share pricd. EH fan bois are in a dreamland marching us towards a cliff….$&@ll..Swap one incompetent CEO with another the results are same. Someone press the eject button already.
Nike = incompetent folks floating until retirement
Don’t care if I get a bunch of hate on this post, but this is the reality. This company is full of very incompetent people at all levels with 10, 20, 30 years of tenure like you see in politics. All of whom are just coasting for paycheck’s, free swag... — read more
I hate what working at Nike has turned into
We grind endlessly to climb some invisible ladder, only to end up feeling disposable. This place has lost its soul, forgetting where it even started. Stuck in perpetual "transition," Nike is headed nowhere fast. Soon, everyone who actually cared will... — read more
CP&I Director spreading te---r?
Seems obvious now that whoever stands up to JV gets booted. And that’s not even my concern bc I don’t care enough to put my head on the chopping block. He’s genuinely not a good VP and keeps lying about things like contractor terminations, job... — read more
