The market is expecting a pretty good earnings report. I think they are in for a surprise. I don’t think people on the outside realize how much of a sh-t show the layoff was and how much productivity was lost. Company morale and productivity was at... — read more
Early retirement packages
I heard a rumor that in the next year Nike will be putting together early retirement packages and anyone over the age of 55 will be able to volunteer. Anyone know if there is any substance behind this rumor?
Any ideas on how bad the next reorg will be?
I'm getting a bit tired of all the reshuffling and layoffs.
Trust in leadership is gone
It’s hard to see any faith left in the people running Nike. Their choices keep leading us into bigger problems, and it feels like there’s no way out as long as they’re in charge. Confidence is crumbling company-wide, and the situation only gets worse... — read more
Anyone a little skeptical of their reason to condense this week's meetings?
It's not like anyone's schedules got busier in the 2 days between inviting us and then cancelling. I also heard there was a VP meeting that got cancelled, with the same stated reason. It's weird, right? Maybe something shifted about the business over... — read more
Layoff announcement after Q2 Earnings?
What’s the over/under on layoffs being announced at the rescheduled Team Meeting set for Dec 19? I’m guessing they will announce a reorg in the earnings call and then address the rank and file same day. If that’s the case, top marks to EH for... — read more

Just surviving, not really working
Survived one round of layoffs just to anticipate the next. Do you even remember when there were good times after the bad? When there was something at work to look forward to? When there was a sense of moving forward? We are just surviving now... — read more
Example
As a woman, I always thought that I could look up to HON as an inspiration. But the more that I see her operate in her climb to the top, the more sad I get. She is shallow, hypocritical, and cares deeply what people think about her, not doing what’s... — read more
REORG 2025
Big news dropping at next week’s all company meeting. Going back to category baby!! Org and building shifts coming too. None of these changes really matter except for the VPs egos. Nike will continue to stumble forward and be reactive to the market... — read more
IDSA = skibidi t
What a mess.
SEC down again
What a clown 🤡 show. What is ACN being paid for?
No real change in sight
And nobody seems to be working on it. I guess rot went too deep for Nike to ever come back.
I was so wrong
I was excited when I first got this job, thinking it could be the start of something lasting. But over time, many people made it clear that I shouldn’t expect a long-term future at Nike. I didn’t believe them at first. To me, this was the kind of... — read more
Seating in JR worse than ever
Not enough seats. Most people I know need and want a home base desk. Orgs are growing and shrinking but there is refusal to move groups based on size changes. Groups have claimed flex desks. Groups have claimed areas not assigned to them so they can... — read more
It wasn’t just JD
It’s becoming more and more clear that Nike’s problems weren’t just about JD. If this company’s gonna get back on track, there need to be big changes in leadership across a bunch of layers. Too many so-called “leaders” right now are more focused on... — read more
Who else is being told RTO5 coming Jan?
Not that I want it, just what I’m hearing. Is this real or rumor?
COBM Ops All-Hands
When you have a member of the brand-spanking new Culture Champions team look up and use the Merriam-Webster definitions of “partner” and “operations” to explain their approach to the work, you know we’ve hit a new low. When you have a gym bro... — read more
Nike Shuts Down Virtual Sneaker Brand RTFKT
Another billion plus thrown away! Plus a lot of resources used for nothing or very little to show for. Such a waste.
Principal, Workday Reporting & Security Process Owner - Remote Work Option
I saw this job posted. What happened to RTO? It seems HR never has a problem getting remote approval for themselves, what a coincidence
EH please get rid of MD
EH, Please find a better leader than MD. She is adding gas to the fire that already was GT. How many horrible leaders must GT endure. She’s part of John’s baggage and needs to leave with him.
What do leaders even do?
Can someone explain what high-level leaders at Nike actually do? From what I’ve seen, it feels like they’re just coasting. Their teams seem to handle all the real work while they just sit in meetings, pass on or summarize information, and delegate... — read more

Nike in a nutshell
A once Really cool company that lost its way. Now nothing more than a massive supply chain. Today it’s a depressing shadow of what it once was. Pathetic leaders that can’t hold a candle to the prior generation. Employees weaker than ever. But... — read more
December layoffs
We had them last year, and I'm betting you we'll have them again this holiday season. Nothing gives Nike leadership more satisfaction than being able to sc--w over employees at the worst possible time. A few days ahead of Christmas sound just about... — read more
Big Thanks, Y'all !

I lost patience waiting for things to get better
Effects of the years of decline, bad policies and stubbornly incompetent leadership cannot be reversed overnight. If they ever will. Nike is now a run-of-the-mill troubled company. For as long as that’s the case, I can go work at any other place... — read more
Small signs of improvement
Things at Nike have been looking up a bit lately, and I’m feeling a little more hopeful. However, I’m still on the lookout for something better, and I’m not planning to stop anytime soon. Quitting is definitely still on my mind.
Quiet firing
Has anybody noticed that more people are being fired lately? Without severance or anything.
APLA will become APAC
It's just a matter of 'when' ....
Hope
With today's changes, lets hope EH brings back merit, excellence and intelligence (MEI) instead of DEI.
Promotions please…
Can we please have promotions EH? A lot of us have worked hard over these past years and we would appreciate it if we were recognized for going above and beyond… Thank you.
MM gone!
Wow. Thank you EH!
Wasted effort
No promotions, miserable raises, and a toxic culture... I can’t believe I put so much into this company. Looking back, I should’ve just done the bare minimum from the start. Now, seeing how things have played out, I feel like a fool for actually... — read more
Was Nike ever a great place to work at?
Veterans are always raving about the good old days. I’ve been with Nike for 5 years now, and can’t spot any evidence that it ever was a decent workplace.
Unprofessional TA & Recruitment
I am genuinely just curious because I’ve never experienced this in other companies I have applied for. I’ve been applying to many roles as a former Nike employee. The recruiters either never respond after the initial hiring manager interviews or just... — read more
