Yes even the ones with remote teams!! It has been OVER TWO YEARS since 3/2 and almost a year since 4/1 and Nike STILL has VPs that are not in Beaverton. It is no surprise that these are some of the worst, selfish, most hated VPs in the company. Get... — read more
No more layoffs this year?
Is this true?
CIO All-Hands
Finally something done right. Clearly less HR and comms teams needed in these forums. Seemed to just speak his mind, answered the tough questions, and is old school Nike authentic despite being here like 3 months. Can we make the CIO run GT?
My team is still in disarray
I wonder for how long we’ll have to wait for roles to fill or for the team to reorganize. The way we have been dysfunctional since layoffs is unsustainable.
APLA disbandment postponed until Q1
The long anticipated and awaited geo reorg will happen in calendar Q1 instead of in 2024. this is in large part because CS will be given a new role but that new role, a person holds now (who is terrible) and they are forcing out....
CEO & SLT visiting EMEA
Any insights about their visit besides meeting the EMEA leadership face to face? EMEA Tech is shaking since MD will be there
Bill Ackman increased investment in Nike by 440%
The billionaire more than quadrupled his initial investment in Nike and now owns $1.4B in shares. This is an activist investor who is very vocally against DEI. Food for thought.
Oh looky! Another reorg in GT
Shocker. What a mess.
Cutthroat Competition
Some ambitious people are always trying to outshine their peers. Is this normal in most companies, or are there just some people who are used to a cutthroat environment and bring that attitude with them wherever they go? Why can’t they just mind... — read more
Practical Tips
Thinking about leaving and keep getting discouraged by your coworkers who keep telling you how hard it is outside or how great the discount is at the company store? Well here are some practical steps that you can start taking immediately and all it... — read more
Wrong priorities
Isn't it sad that the longer you're at Nike, the higher your chances of being laid off? At other companies, tenure is something that's considered an advantage, not a disadvantage. It's frustrating that my anxiety regarding layoffs increases the... — read more
Sad for Nike HR
As I see the announcements of some really good Nike HR pursuing external opportunities, I am sad. My organization does not comprehend what they have lost and continue to promote undeserving individuals. Recent appointments only demonstrate that... — read more
What’s your best tip to navigate Nike politics?
Every big corporation has politics but people at Nike have a unique way of backstabbing and gaslighting. The amount of insecure passive aggressive senior directors and VPs that exist here is mind blowing. I know leaving is always an option but there... — read more
Earnings Predictions
Market is expecting continued downturn and revenue shrink which we can only assume is baked into the current price. Interested in any opinion on the possibility of the news being even worse than expected or maybe be better?
No pay raise for lateral moves? No raises (again)?
Is this a newer HR policy? I had not moved jobs since pre-shakeups, but every time I did, even if it was a lateral there was a corresponding pay increase. Does this also mean that compensation will be flat year-over-year if you are staying in the... — read more
It’s so refreshing to be gone
After almost 9 years at Nike I was let go last month and honestly it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I don’t think I would have made the leap unless I was forced to (embarrassing to admit). I have the space to breathe and think about... — read more
Time to go
Next week, I’m out of here, and I think this is the best gift I could give myself in time for the holidays. Now I can stop caring about the constant rumors of more layoffs. That won’t be my problem anymore. For those of you planning your own exit, I... — read more
Any Tips??
I was laid off yesterday. Can anyone help with a todo list or helpful hints/tips to close this chapter of my life? Example: 401k, getting personal pictures from work phone, etc.
Nike Layoffs 2025
If the market makes a turn soon, do you think there will be Nike layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
I would welcome reorg
Not layoffs, just reorg. Preferably carefully considered and well thought-out. We’ve never adjusted since big layoffs. My team should either take on more people, or rethink goals and tasks, or change management, or all of the above. It’s... — read more
Nike lost 5 years yesterday
If COVID times taught us anything, it was that what happens in the outside world affects people in their job. The lack of any communication by leadership yesterday was hugely felt. It could have been as simple as “statistically speaking, half of... — read more
I’m fed up with how Nike wastes talent
First, they laid off many great people this year. Second, managers do not recognize talent, skills and competence of the individual team members. As a result, a lot of potential remains unrealized while people are being frustrated with the tasks they... — read more
WFH Today
Yall get the memo, like HR, to WFH today to “process” the election?! WTF
Nepotism is out of control
It’s all about who you know, not what you bring to the table. Performance, skills, experience, none of it matters. They’ll always find an excuse to hold back those who’ve earned it, but if you’re in the right circle, “someone’s friend”, that’s all it... — read more
What are the long-term career effects for Nike employees who have been laid off?
I am interested in opinions of people who have been with Nike for a while and have experience that spans multiple recessions - what do you think?
Is another round of reorg/layoffs on the way??
Have heard about the rumor from different sources in past couple weeks. Now I’m not even sure if I’m hoping for this to happen or not.
Thanks RTO
Never had Covid, flu or cold outbreaks during work from home. People are dropping like flies as they sit in the Petri dish open work spaces. Tell me again how rto increases productivity?
Not a dream workplace
It's absurd how management keeps trying to make Nike look like some dream workplace, while it continues to disregard the many issues employees are facing on a daily basis. Do they seriously think ignoring reality is a long-term fix? It just feels... — read more
Laid off a year ago and still can’t find a decent job
Nike laid me off a year ago. I still don’t have a job. Before you make suggestions or assumptions, let me explain that I’ve had a relatively positive attitude through this time, so sure something will happen for me. That the next thing is just... — read more
Promotions?
When do you guys think promotions will start being a thing?
What’s the hardest aspect of your job?
For me, it's having to deal with a micromanaging boss who knows less than I do but feels the need to direct my every move. It's infuriating, pointless, and only slows me down every single day.
EH, Can we PLEASE have our own desks to work at??
The fountains are on. Can you also invest in setting GPS straight and planning so we can each have our own desk again like the before days? We're dyin' here in JR.
RTO policy change soon?
When do you think EH will change the RTO policy to be more flexible so those of us who want to work remote can?
Are we ever going to change for the better?
A lot of us were hopeful with the change at the top. We have all been fed up for a long time with the way Nike’s been declining. I guess the built up frustration was the reason we put a lot of hope into just a glimpse at willingness to turn the ship... — read more
All my friends have left
IC here, used to manage people. Between layoffs and new opportunities majority of my friends I started with are gone. Before you flame me and tell me to leave, I’m trying. Just bummed all my friends are gone from the good days.
MD calls Nike an “Uneducated Cult”
Yesterday’s GT all-hands meeting was something else. Seeing MD next to EH and AM was night and day. MD looked like she was reading straight from a script, handing out high-fives with all the enthusiasm of a wax figure. Meanwhile, EH and AM were... — read more
Dear moderators
Dear Moderators - this platform has become like X. Full of lies and personal attacks. Truths or rumors are fine but there is way 2 much cr-p being posted and not removed. Do your job!
Any rumors about reorg?
I’m at my wits’ end. My team has been in chaos since the layoffs. We have a skeleton crew, miss a couple of critical jobs, and have been working a triple workload. No way we can continue being productive and efficient. We will just one day completely... — read more
CATEGORIES ARE BACK
CATEGORY ANNOUNCEMENT COMING. Now we can stop saying CxFOP. Not sure what all those CxFOP GMs will do (THAT HAVE NO DIRECT REPORTS AND RUN MULTIPLE IBAs just to run meetings) but not sure what they’ve done for about a year either.
