Can anyone tells me what is Nike policy about having a second job that is completely different from Nike? Say for example I have had a recent change in my Nike salary (reduced) and now I have found a remote job that is totally different from what I... — read more
Bob Swan
It’s insane that Bob Swan is being elected as as a Director. He brings ZERO consumer experience to the board and is a long-standing JD crony from their failed eBay and PayPal days. How on earth is this corporate corruption allowed to continue? He... — read more

Bowerman footwear lab???
Saw this come up on another post. It seems like a great resource to push product creation but I don’t see anything happening there. Anyone have experience with it?
Do I have to report PSP to Oregon Unemployment?
I was let go and received part of my PSP today, and an email from People Solutions stating the amount for Q4 will be paid next week. Does this affect my eligibility to get weekly claim from unemployment? Do I have to report the bonuses from previous... — read more
Shareholder Board of Director Vote
As a shareholder I received an email to vote for new directors by early Sept. I know as much about these people as I do a washington county judge but feel like it could be important to vote in order to try to right the ship. Suggestions how to... — read more
There is still no strategy or clarity from the org changes four months later
“Across Product Creation, Supply Chain, and Innovation, we have the same leaders who got us into this mess trying to figure out how to fix it. I'm in Supply Chain footwear and I can honestly tell you, there's no way this group of leaders will be able... — read more
Dear Uncle Phil
I'm writing to you today as a concerned citizen, a disappointed consumer, and a guy who's just plain tired of seeing Nike's potential squandered by the current leadership. Let's start with the obvious: JD needs to go. He is not a winner, he is a... — read more
PSP half from last year
I was laid off Jun 28. Just curious why the PSP amount is half than what it was from last year? Is it the same for everyone else?
Calling it now. Nike is back, baby!
Haters will say “muh dysfunctional leader can’t empathize” or “JD isn’t it” but Nike has rounded the corner and sees the $$$ ahead. We will be copying the new, small running/outdoor brands, which is lame on paper, but the people who live their lives... — read more

Everything on here seems to be related to Nike corporate layoffs. Some of us who work in stores are worried about layoffs coming our way. Has anyone heard anything about this?
Big Wave of ETW Layoffs Coming
Nike's procurement team has been reaching out to ETW companies, including mine. They informed us that they are conducting a cross-business review of all ETWs to ensure alignment with Nike's strategic priorities, though they couldn't clearly... — read more
Winning isn’t Everything
More validation that the Olympic message is off the mark was the medal stand for the Womens Gymnastics Floor competition. The show of respect for the Brazilian gold medalist was way more inspiring than “am I a bad person?” Culturally, Nike has lost... — read more
No career growth
Is there even a point in staying here considering the complete lack of career growth? Working at Nike used to be an incentive in itself, but that Nike is long gone. Now I'm honestly having trouble finding reasons not to walk away the first chance I... — read more
Here we go
Building the future of sport is a peacetime profession. We are the ultimate luxury in a world gone rabid. Hang in there.
Dear JJD II
I want to start this conversation off with this, the board has made a decision to make a change. We have made this decision. It is about what you have done here to date. It is also, about what fiduciary responsibility the board has to shareholders... — read more
Legit don’t understand
Long time Nike employee who has now been long gone. It is really sad to see the downturn of Nike. It’s inexplicable really, but the spiral look out of control. Cannot imagine anything short of 2 years to straighten it out. With luck. As an outsider... — read more
Help
A few weeks ago someone posted a photo of the amazing Servant Leader JDs contract. Does anyone have it and if so can you post it again? Thank you!
Nike does not reward leadership
Unfortunately Nike for the most part does not reward leadership. A good leader is you highlighted is accountable and protective of his/her team or organization. Nike has become like lord of the flies where it's everyone for themselves, take credit... — read more
We have to deal with too much
Doing your job shouldn't have to include dealing with office politics, lying, gaslighting, backstabbing, and discrimination on a daily basis. I'd say this is on my manager but I've chatted with many people and realized it's a management style that... — read more

Global Recession
Our ELT is burning cash to win back our consumer but missing the macro economic viewpoint. Global Recession is on the horizon and if you thought the last reorg was bad, buckle up for a 7-10% layoff.
This electric pack looks like sh-t
Blends into the track too. How are we supposed to stand out when our products blend in?
Just stop using bullsh-t terms like “family” to describe corporations
I just can’t stand hearing that cr-p anymore. Corporations are cold, soulless entities serving the top and shareholders’ bottom line. We are expendable items. If we are family, social workers and psychiatrists would have their hands full. Can we stop... — read more
Accountability
It’s so bad at the top that those on the bottom now feel like that don’t have to be accountable to anyone either. See this site for reference. You don’t have to perpetuate this. You can be better. In the end you do yourself no favors for having... — read more
JD in Paris
Seeing JD's smarmy mug on the TV in a front row during the women's gymnastics all around final is just a slap in the face. What garbage. He is NOT the face we should have out in the world representing us.
Innovation?
The main gripe here? Zero innovation! And those recent layoffs? They axed the real innovators at NSRL while keeping the endless layers of management. We've got managers reporting to managers who report to a Director, who reports to a Senior Director... — read more

Leadership overhaul needed immediately to prevent a permanent fall to mediocrity
Nike is unlikely to ever become irrelevant, but without an immediate leadership shakeup, we are destined to fall into a deep pit of mediocrity—a state we may never recover from. We have so much brand equity that we will probably remain among the top... — read more
Jd isn’t even a sports fan
Seeing him watching Simone win a gold in person is disgusting. Fing narcissistic nerd with no idea the magnitude of this moment.
I’m gonna state the obvious
Nike is a f*cking mess
Join me in wishing farewell to a legend
Swoosh family, let's give a warm farewell to HON, the mastermind behind Nike's failed DTC strategy that turned the company into a case study for business school dropouts. With a market share drop of 20% and 4,000 employees sent packing, it's clear... — read more
MD as new CEO
You know MD will be new CEO. Then all the teams not under the new CIO will merge with their business counterparts.
FTE to ETW
Is there a waiting period to come back as an ETW when laid off as an FTE?
We are in great shape. Not.
Thank god the well thought out and carefully conducted layoffs propelled the stock price upwards. Now we can sleep easily. Jesus, what were they thinking?? They addressed none of the systemic problems but they managed to lay off many people who were... — read more
