Does my manager see when / if I (FTE) have applied to open roles? They say somewhere (I think?) to always talk to your manager about roles before you apply. But it feels like lots of conversations if there are so many open roles. And I’d rather talk... — read more
Do you think it makes sense to stay for now?
I’ve been with Nike for over ten years. Decided to look for another job after the last round of layoffs. It looked to me at the time that it may be pointless to continue with Nike. There was no direction or strategy, no real attempts to revive the... — read more
Nike has changed so much
We used to have a good work/life balance. Now, overworking is glamorized, to the point where your whole life revolves around your job. Those who can fully adapt to that lifestyle are doing fine. But for most of us, especially those with families... — read more
Other leaders we'd like to return
I was really disheartened when AC left Nike. Curious what other leaders we'd like to see come back. With Elliott coming back it feels like hope is alive again.
GEO RE jig
Happening from 1 December: APLA - will become APAC and LATAM NA will remain but transfered to CS EMEA will have no changes GC will become APAC LATAM will replace APLA NA LATAM EMEA APAC simple!
first new exec hire: Vanessa LeFebvre
Will lead Geo and marketplace as she has just exited Haines. She will be great!
Product teams really sc--wed us
The fact that we keep having to wait for product in the pipeline makes no sense. There should be great product coming out every season. Sounds like designers and product leaders took a couple years off and now we’re waiting 142 weeks. WTF, get it... — read more
No JD on Earnings Call
Is this the norm - that an outgoing CEO who is still in seat for another 2 weeks, does not show up to his last earnings call? They are all (apparently) professionals - could he not have shown some solidarity with the message of this so called mutual... — read more
MD Freudian Slip of the Tongue
Am I the only who heard him almost say “winning isn’t for anyone”, lolllololl
SEAL? What is this new f*cking Nike acronym?
All these comments on this site - “I’m on the SEAL team”. Stop with the stupid acronyms already! It doesn’t make you look like a Navy seal but more like the creatures that live in the ocean!
Thanks JD
You big dummy. Oh yeah, BOD, you su-k also.
Earnings Call thread
The lowlights Revenue down 10% Net income down 28% EPS down 26% Our not so new CMO spent 15% more on demand creation to achieve all this. Thanks JD, HON and crew
Earnings Report: emoji expressions… what’s yours 🤔
I wish we could post and see what everybody's emojis reactions are during today’s earnings report. Kind of like that all hands meeting they had a while back in which everybody was openly laughing at the BS the SLT was dishing out. What’s your emoji... — read more
NKE trend?
Will the stock go up or down after oct.1? Afraid of another fall like last time

Nike struggles to equip Digital Creation for the job
With the KIT work we are obligated to do on personal devices, is anyone tracking the liability it brings? lol no of course not, ICs take the fall for their manager/director's inability to advocate and confidently represent their teams. HR also turns... — read more
Are layoffs in October likely to happen?
I’m hearing more people speculating about it. Anyone know more?
Does EH like HON?
They must know each other. Who has deets?

Biggest Winners Under JD’s Tenure
Guys and gals (look at me being inclusive) it wasn’t all bad.. some people made out like bandits under JD’s tenure. Here are the top 5. Bain and Co… JD kept them afloat during one of the roughest patch for consulting MM: took time off from... — read more
Linkedin - please stop with the posts
Why do so many people feel the need to post their hot take on JD, EH, state of the company and their thoughts on the future of Nike? Also, to the guy that posted his email he sent to JD, actually why? Like what kind of weird world does LinkedIn clout... — read more
How long will it take EH to find out MD doesn’t know tech and not a leader?
And while he’s looking under the covers…Trim down the GT leadership- look to cut where you have VP to VP (ineffective leaders like EC, AC, DA, TT, and more..) and put real technology leaders in place where the company can focus on core competencies... — read more
I hope because of you, guys, that EH turns the ship around
I left after the last round of layoffs. I was lucky to land a good job in a smaller company, and I’m very happy where I’m now. It was time for me to leave Nike, layoffs fatigue just sped up the process. Before I left most of my colleagues were... — read more
Open Letter To EH
Dear EH Congratulations on your comeback tour! I’m sure it feels good to slide back into that corner office after what must’ve felt like the world’s longest Gatorade break. But, let’s get to it. I know you’ve just unboxed your favorite Nike kicks to... — read more
CEO selection strategy
2020 PK: get me an old white guy to run my company. Must hate sports. JD: As thou wishes, my master 2024 PK: What the he-l happened? $2 billion in market cap gone. Get me an even older and whiter guy. Must be retired. EH: Woo! Giddy up... — read more

Still curious about the employee survey results
Are they going to share it??
First leadership changes x3
From 1 November, CS will lead the DTC org. MBL will be moved to Pres of Jordan, SM will be moved to lead CPB.
Green
Fascinated by the amount of text, emails and other types of messages from ex Nike employees asking about returning to Nike. Some of you, yes, absolutely, come back. Most of you, naw, stay away. Grass is not so green on the other side, is it?
Nike is the New Dollar Tree
Nobody cares about cheap plastic slave labor product anymore. Nike shoes will wind up fodder for arcade skill cranes at best. Nike is worth less than before COVID-19, but the money supply has jumped by 38%. This means NKE is worth about half as... — read more
The return of EH is a positive one but....
Linkedin profiles are going viral and the feeds are flowing with positive conversation on the newly appointed CEO, EH and the retirement of JD. And as I read these posts, many allude to bringing back the 'old nike', encouraging former leaders who... — read more
Change at the top gives some vague hope, maybe?
At least it appears they are trying. I don’t know what will come out of it, but we know for sure that the way things were we had no future. I do want to keep my job, and I know there are better chances at that if someone actually goes for reinvention... — read more
What do the board of directors do?
Can someone explain to me what it is that a board of directors does for a company generally, in addition to for Nike specifically, and whether they have any accountability over the misdirection of the company over the last 5-10 years?
SLT are shaking in their boots...
President of Consumer Product = needs to wear the failed strategy of DTC Chief Strategy Officer = right hand to above and executed failed said strategy, useless current position CFO = he wanted to be CEO, ego is to big, board overlooked him, he's on... — read more
Relative newbie at Nike (less than two years here)
Is Elliott Hill’s style to keep the stock afloat by thousand cuts, or can we finally expect an actual attempt at strategy towards growth? If it’s going to be more of the same, I’m out.
MM worse than her prior boss
“Putting the human back in Human Resources”. Remember that?
$32.79M compensation package
Seriously???
5 DAYS A WEEK IN 2025
A lot of you will complain and say you’re more effective at home and you want to live wherever and look at this company over here they’re fully remote blah blah Nike doesn’t care. EH doesn’t care. 5 days in the office will be a reality in 2025. So... — read more
