We laid off all the innovators and promoted/replaced them with storytelling yes-women and yes-men who hardly understand the company and prioritize their own career achievements over the brand…

Nike is down 30%+ YTD (wiping $60B+). A former Nike branding exec wrote a viral post and blames it on three decisions Nike made in 2020 under incoming CEO John Donahue. The plan prioritized the direct-to-consumer (DTC) business but... — read more 

If I am reading the “2024 annual report and notice of annual meeting” report correctly which was posted today, it seems like JD is getting 200% bonus. It is out of the 65% payout limit but dang, I got pennies and I didn’t even sc--w up anything this... — read more 

Hearing a lot of different guesses -- my team had assumed it would be before wellness week, but feels like they're running out of time if that was the case. Any predictions how JD announces them? And any predix which scores are up and which ones are... — read more 

Anyone else always have 1 or 2 things missing from their nike.com orders? Why can't they get their stuff figured out like Amazons. At this point, Nike customer care probably thinks I'm trying to scam them by requesting all these refunds.

not really a huge change but with AP LA going anyway GC will absorb the rest of the apac region. Will remain based in Shanghai with satellite offices in Seoul and Melbourne. Led by Ms Do-g still!

Confirmation that the geo will cease to exist from September 2024. CS will transition to NA, SU will move to DTC leadership and MBL will be at the helm of consumer and marketplace. CW will be out as well with HON and JD due to their unbelievably... — read more 

JD is being forced out with announcements for an interim CEO coming. It is planned that JD will remain through Q2 2025 until fully handing over the reigns to his successor.

Financially, I’m just trying to plan ahead. Understanding that these things take time, but... Can anyone confirm the bonus check schedule? Kindly provide any updates if possible. You know how much this means to us. Officially... — read more 

In my life, I have had a lot of experience with “bad” leadership so I know what bad looks like - distrusting, micromanaging, unable to influence down, only managing up, etc etc. In my short time at Nike, I have only experienced 1-2 good leaders. For... — read more 

Has anyone heard about layoffs in the field for Nike stores???

We'd save a whole bunch of money and we'd lose literally nothing. In fact, I think morale would improve significantly.

In this whole mess that has spiraled with media? These all hands? JD interviews, emails, messaging? Masterclass in what not to do.

Listen, I get it. Things are tough and Nike leaders have made several bad decisions and not really done anything to show they care. But does it warrant for teammates to be mocking their leaders in front of the whole team? There are 2-3 of them of... — read more

The car companies have moved me the most. Our commercials are not inspiring.

How about cutting some of the $400-$500/hr ACN people that are less talented and don’t care about the Brand. You might even have better solutions…..yes people, that translates to $800,000-$1,000,000 per year, per person.

Worked at Nike for 15 years and then laid off in 21’ for no apparent performance reason. Management was apologetic and according to them was it out of their hands despite going to bat for what they believed the category and function needed. In my... — read more 

One external executive once said, the biggest difference between Nike and their brand is that employees at Nike don’t work together, they work against each other, fight to get/take credit, throw others under the bus to do so and ultimately just play... — read more 

I’m curious to hear from folks that have been laid off, that have subsequently found a new job and been through a background check with their new employer. Nike say they will confirm dates of employment and job title, but for me rather than my actual... — read more

To our leaders of the Nike Brand on the eve of the Olympics Opening Ceremony: I joined this company, like many others, to pursue more than just a job. Nike was the dream: We grew up with the allure of the sports heroes you deified through marketing... — read more 

Nike will become an even more unbearable workplace than it already is. Though I don’t think they will need to put much effort into pushing people out, since talent is leaving on its own in droves. Whoever has a nerve to stay and make sure they get... — read more

For all the talk on this forum about other departments/functions, there never seems to be discussions on how design is performing or holding up. From what I can see and the interactions I have had they seem to be in a world of pain too with people... — read more 

The more of you that voluntarily leave, the happier Donahoe becomes. He doesn’t want to pay severances, $225k average/per employee. He wants mass attrition. $1.5B in costs left to cut! Phil is supportive. Don’t leave, mail it in. Fight the power. — read more 

Sounds like DSM employees across all geos aren’t allowed to apply for internal jobs in any function for at least 12 months. However other functions are allowed to apply to any roles including DSM. Can anyone confirm? Heard from several sources... — read more 

Looks like JonDon took an 11% payout and only took home $29M this year What a bargain we’re getting 😂

I used to love coming to work. I met many great people over the years, most of whom are sadly gone now. Some of the teams I worked with had great accomplishments exactly because of how Nike saw itself and how it tried to apply that idea and messaging... — read more 

Pay statements dropped overnight, yeah?

The company is not committed to you so why would you be committed? If they can lay us off without a second thought then we can walk away without giving notice or training our replacement as well. If they believe we should do more with less and for... — read more 

Lots of tucked in button ups and power dresses being escorted around campus last week and this week. Definitely the consultant look and air of arrogance.

I've extracted the last 1,478 pages of this website and wrote a python script to analyze the top mentioned Nike employees by initial, here they are: JD - 47,972 unique mentions MN - 23,754 TT - 21,283 HON - 8,023 MF - 3,085 MD - 1,780 Haters gonna... — read more 

Anyone seen this banner on campus and think it’s as cringe as I do? It’s a more solitary, aggressive, and offensive variation on the current broader campaign that evokes memories of the bully in high school. It makes me question the authenticity of... — read more 

Nike lacks leaders who are cross-functionally competent. Doesn't seem to be more than a few years back when it broke completely. I do think Global Tech started to steer the business leaders by bullsh-tting them into shiny tools over measured... — read more
