This guy is a joke. I’m sorry EH fans! What happened to “ I have right people in the right place, I will be transparent, blah blah blah blah blah”. He is worse than JD.
Hearing RIf.
Any word ? Rumor or fact? My source isn’t reliable but sense says it is.
I don’t trust them - should I?
Tldr but for personal reasons I have to move to nyc this year. I asked Nike and they said “hard no” to me relocating there, despite there being people with my title in the nyc office. Ok Nike… Plot twist: I now have 3 offers (companies bigger than... — read more
People Solutions now rolls up under Total Rewards?
Anyone else find that a bit odd? What’s going on in HR?
IDSA Change
What happened in the IDSA org last week regarding org / leadership changes?
Be curious, not judgmental!
I hope that either all of us, or none of us, are judged by the actions of our weakest moments. But rather, by the strength we show when, and if, we're ever given a second chance. I believe in hope. I believe in believe. Don’t you dare settle for... — read more
Is this Elliot’s “You asked for this” JD Layoff?
Seeing and hearing of layoffs going on specifically for certain senior leaders throughout Nike. Is this Elliot’s JD infamous moment? Just 3 months ago Elliot said “he believed we had all the right talent pieces at Nike”, hence the people on this... — read more
Quiet Layoffs
Have seen a few instances of individuals being abruptly and quietly laid off or fired over the last few weeks. Anyone else seeing this? Is this more broad than just Nike Tech?
Nike F’d
Tariff turmoil could sink the stock to $40/share and make a comeback near impossible… hope it ain’t so but this year could be devastating.
What does Strategy actually do
Do these ex consultants just make decks no one in the business actually uses?
Different Treatment - ETW v FTE
Short stint FTE here. Let me firstly say, I am not lacking empathy or love for our ETWs. I wish every ETW could be FTE and escape the immoral permalance loophole. I value deeply our ETWs that participate in our success. This is about how Nike... — read more
Employee survey anonymous?
Anyone know if it’s actually anonymous.
Layoffs in Tech
Big project bedrock is coming for you, soon my brother's and sisters will have your jobs!
Nike Su-ks
Nike su-ks. The products su-k. The people su-k. The ads su-k. Way better products for better prices on the market these days. Just give up and go bankrupt.
It’s not if, it’s when ..
Another Restructure Isn’t a Maybe—It’s a Must The recent numbers say it all. Nike has lost 2% share in the U.S. since early 2024 and 6.2% in Europe. At Di-k’s, Nike’s share dropped from 39% to 32%, while On and Hoka surged to 12% and 13%. This isn’t... — read more
Nike running
As long as I've been running, Nike was never a top choice for long distance runners. It was always brooks or asics or suacony. Now it's Hoka and On So why are we blaming our current woes on Nike running?
Boomerang Employees
I’ve had 10 teammates leave in the past 3 years, 6 of them returned and another trying to come back. Why do people come back here always? Is it that they’re trying to relive good times or maybe the market su-ks?
Nike sc--wed up big time. No visionaries found in their executives.
Due to these tariffs Nike should have had half the manufacturing capacity in the states and half overseas. Under any tariff problem, manufacturing capacity and materials could have been increased here and reduced overseas or the opposite. Highly... — read more
Securities Litigation Underway
Well worth the read! https://www.cohenmilstein.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/First-Amend-Complaint-In-re-Nike-Securities-Litigation-2025-02-10.pdf
Yep, rub it in.

April 2, 2025: Liberation Day!
April 3, 2025: NKE trading at $55.58 Nike picked a fight with America, and America won.
We're not prepared for what's coming
Start looking for another job if you haven't already—layoffs are on the horizon. Nike hasn’t improved, and it lacks the capacity to overcome the crises.
JD weakened Nike
And Trump trying to finish the job.
Is EH a wartime CEO?
The company is in a battle for survival—sorry, I mean “continued relevance and dominance.” Pick your poison: declining revenues, rock-bottom morale, and now tariffs. Just a regular day at the office! But fear not, we have our fearless leader at the... — read more
Tariffs - we’re F’d
We are in big trouble with these tariffs and our manufacturing… No plan for this … Ive been in several meetings with key VP leaders and there is no operational or financial focus This will be EHs legacy.
Different rules for different teams
I’m on a product creation team made up of multiple teams. One team seems to follow different rules. Come in late, leave early, work in different locations, work from home, don’t show up for meetings, misses deadlines, needs help from the other... — read more
Stock Price Under 60
What will EH and ELT do? Layoffs? No way they can take that 46% tariff in Vietnam.
Don’t cry
You shouldn’t be crying at work in most situations. As a new hire, I’ve been kind of shocked by how many “leaders” become overwhelmed and cry during meetings or presentations.
Everybody is job hunting
I’ve been at this job for almost two decades, and I’ve never seen so many people - folks I don’t even talk to - straight up saying they’re job hunting. It feels like everyone’s got one foot out the door. And I've been here long enough to remember the... — read more
SKIMS
Where is the SKIMs product???!?? Was the announcement just a ploy to boost the stock ahead of dismal earnings?!!??! HON, what are we doing? CMO… you good??? Is winning for you? EH… time to kick some folks off the ship captain
Question for directors/senior directors
Did y’all hit your heads or something? D-mb as rocks. You could disappear tomorrow and nothing would change. Actually, I take that back. More work would get done because we wouldn’t be interrupted by your d-mb questions and obsession with meta... — read more
No mention of layoffs for a while
Should we celebrate or worry?
It’s a cult.
I was laid off after many years and was massively in the hole with not selling options before the price tanked. I was so annoyed that I had been loyal and stupid, despite the evidence in front of my eyes that the place was being run by clowns. (I’d... — read more
LT continues to disappoint
Leadership is failing by directing teams to do work that serves no real purpose, tasks to become nothing more than a bullet point on a slide, ignored and forgotten within seconds. EH is back, and yes he’s a people person, but he lacks the courage to... — read more
Rumor: CS to take CSTO job after DH departs
And after APLA is broken up for parts. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks
What has innovation & FW been doing the past 3 years?
Serious question. I get all the economic, post pandemic, poor leadership strategy, consultant vultures, I don’t have my own desk reasons- but there are A LOT of people devoted to innovation and design and there has been nothing to write home about... — read more
