ALL VPs need to be on campus

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 

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....

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

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

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

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

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.

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

MD calls Nike an “Uneducated Cult”

Any rumors about reorg?

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.
