What happened to a focus on rebuilding culture? Not allowing g adults to have a dedicated workspace, giving them lockers like some schoolage hustle, having them fight for a place to work between every meeting... WHEN THEY ARE REQUIRED TO COME IN is... — read more 

Throughout my two-decades-long career, I’ve never felt more stressed than I do now. The workload and pressure are at an all-time high for me, and I know I’m not alone in this. I’m completely burnt out, to the point that I’ve already started looking... — read more 

How long can you hide it?!

Nice to see ATC enjoying perks and culture, while those of us here at WHQ can't even have a vendor pay for lunch. Having a party to celebrate one year of wasting Nike's money while ATC making it rain.

Can you file for unemployment while nike is enforcing your noncompete (and therefore paying you)

That's what made us stand out in an overcrowded industry. When those leading this company decided to pull back on innovation and started mostly copy/pasting old stuff with some minor tweaks is when Nike lost both its position as a leader and its... — read more

She's been removed from her role as the helm of Jordan as they integrate Jordan into the Nike brand and it will become a business unit/category. Her new role will be TPs former position as VP global marketplace partners.

There will be a geo restructure as of November 15th where APLA will cease to exist and CS will be elevated as the president of DTC. MBL will lead the new LATAM geo based in WHQ with the satellite office in Cdmx.

This has always been one of Nike's most special days of the year. When they invite hundreds of youth onsite and host sport all day. The community of Nike is dying, and not slowly.

It’s clear the jabronis of Bain messed up and we are all still feeling opt models that don’t work and substandard managers that somehow survived the layoffs. My SD and upper VPs have provided little to no communication recently and it feels like a... — read more

Not sure why facilities is doubling down on this activity based work space bs. Do you know anyone who likes it?? It doesn't work for us. Those on campus need a desk, a home base. Not a junior high locker. Sooooo much time is wasted trying to find... — read more

Wow so the whole geo restructure was true.... we now have six geos NA - WHQ EMEA - AMS based APAC (exc. China) - this will continiue to be based in Beaverton LaTam - Mexico City based GC - Shanghai based

This haves and have nots B S is all played out. Productivity and collaboration is hindered by this random system. Better yet, let teams decide for themselves.

I’m kinda surprised that no one has recently called out the one person that would have the biggest positive impact on culture and morale if they were gone. After all, allowing VPs to do whatever, hiring VPs that were tops at bad behavior (and could... — read more 

Let's be honest... it's complete bullsh*t that senior leaders get a hall pass to work remote out of state and get to travel in 2-3 times per month to WHQ on Nike's dime. We're talking first class flights (if VP), meals, rental cars and hotels on a... — read more 

Mine is still a hot mess. We have never had good mgmt to begin with, and they’ve been more of an obstacle than assistance since layoffs. They have their numbers to meet, and have never cared to get to know us by skills and competence, and therefore... — read more 

What value does ATC add to the business? ATC was an idea grandfathered from a previous CTO. ATC offers a lot of amenities like Privates chefs, and Hawks Box seats but no one is ever in the office. The California office has already been disbanded?... — read more

I've never been more unhappy in my career at Nike than I am now. This just isn't the same place it was a few years ago, let alone a decade or more. It's really sad because it used to be a great place to work. Now, loyalty and talent don't matter. If... — read more 

Do you guys think GT will change substantially with the new CEO and changes to follow?

Some people expect it due to the change at the top. I hope we don’t. I badly need some breather time after everything that’s been happening for a year now. Purely for the reasons of preserving sanity.

What’s up with Well Being week announced a year early? Something bigger going on?

corruption, drama and departures at the 'vAn' this week.

7%! That’s a lot of people! Nike BS’d that it was only going to be a 2% layoff. Ouch!

So, I got the boot a few weeks ago (but hey, not because of my performance—let’s be clear on that). My last day’s the 13th, and I’m wondering when I should expect that sweet severance check to hit my account. Anyone have any idea? Oh, and I’m in the... — read more 

Is there a possibility of more layoffs before the end of the year?

I’m frustrated and feel like I’m wasting my life here. Does anyone actually enjoy working at Nike anymore? The meetings are pointless, the work is meaningless, and it's all just to make it look like we’re busy. Morale is in the gutter, while the... — read more

The one thing the board got right was naming a new CEO before the earnings call. The positive reception created a buffer for that negative earnings call. Now BOD, the next think you need to do is formally announce HON’s departure and then get Bob... — read more
