for all the good articles that are going to dive into his tenure and tell us all the real stuff. The backstabbing and whisper campaigns, lol and what his people really thought of him. That Bloomberg article was just the tip.

Kate Ridley to take the helm of product and brand once HON is out as of 1 November 2024.

I’m somewhat skeptical. First of all, we lost a lot of talent during badly managed layoffs. They were done only with cost-cutting in mind and without a thought about the future of the company. Second, he is an old guard. Can the old guard save us... — read more 

….And charter a plane to fly over Portola Valley with a banner saying “Winning isn’t for JD”

She’s a terrible person and also su-ks at her job. Bad combo.

I’m assuming when Elliot gets in seat he’ll spend some time to reevaluate the organization again and plan on doing another restructuring and layoff. My assumption this will start in announcing around January and begin in March again. Probably start... — read more 

It's eye-opening to see EH return to Nike after retirement, especially considering his previous tenure was clouded by a series of troubling issues. Under his leadership, Nike faced multiple lawsuits and allegations related to s-xual harassment... — read more 

We should be serving as advisors to JD, not the other way around. Our first kernel of wisdom: “Don’t let the door hit you on the way out!”

We made this happen. All of us on here. Nike has been monitoring this site and sentiment

This feels like a move to preempt Q1 earnings call.

I used to hear this a lot pre-JD and in our growth years of Nike. Seems like we need to focus on “what got us here”! I’m still shocked that Mr. Knight allowed this to happen to his company. Even further, he endorsed what JD was doing. SMH — read more 

EH must change a lot of the current leadership, which then leads to the org structures. Maybe not mass layoffs, but restructuring will happen again.

Let me start off by saying I was laid off so this is not a JD sympathy post. He should’ve been the first one to be laid off in my opinion. But is not a good sign when the company has to turn to the old Gand to write the ship. It did not work out for... — read more 

After reading the Bloomberg article, it's clear the BOD doesn't know a thing and are just as out of touch with both the consumer and the company as JD.

Serena was electric this afternoon. Thank you MP and board for announcing this on a Thursday so campus could celebrate together! Haven’t seen so many happy faces in a long time.

Starbucks announced on Aug 22nd. We were all hoping then, either Bill Ackman or some other activists would come and force change. Fast forward 3 weeks, we saw Bloomberg Article. Few more days from that, John Donahue “The Bain mo--n” was booted... — read more 

Hmmmm, i’m not sure why?

Care to chime is? How is he as a person? What is his leadership style? What makes him different from others? Does he care about the customer? How about the employee?

Wow, what a run

Proof: weeks ago devoted “unwavering confidence and full support” of JD. Now we’re here. When Phil dies, who holds control of the board? Travis?

How about digging us out of the hole first? Then come up with the actual growth strategy, not some stock value boosting scheme, Also, next layoffs - try not to cut people wholesale and put some effort into selection which will allow for talented and... — read more

Good riddance! Really hope Elliott cleans up the C suite. What a mess! HON, MF, MM would be a great start. JD created quite a mess, so I know we have to be patient while he digs us out of this dumpster fire were in.

"Given our needs for the future, the past performance of the business, and after conducting a thoughtful succession process, the Board concluded it was clear Elliott’s global expertise, leadership style, and deep understanding of our industry and... — read more 

How did he keep Nike job for such a long time.

Will leave it with the admin. Please come and sign to wish him good luck firing and "managing people out" somewhere else. What would you write? I am impressed of your high IQ, and your low intelligence. Best....

Karma is a bi--h and JD got a taste of his own medicine. See you later bamf!

we know it’s going to be bad but the longer you drag this on the worse it will be

Nike used to be a well-oiled machine with a solid formula for winning in both sports and sneakers. Then JD came in and completely changed the game, throwing everything off track. He wrecked the category offense, lost ground in sports, burned bridges... — read more
