I think each and every single problem of Nike, from stock price, to low sale, to toxic culture, all and all comes down to only to two thing : hiring practice not being based on merit and zero accountability for real KPI.... 😐
Are you still planning to retire from Nike?
I used to, but I no longer do. Too many things have changed to either want to retire from here or to feel like it's a realistic possibility with all the firings and layoffs that have been happening non-stop. It saddens me since I've been here for a... — read more
New CIO
Is this a joke? RL brought in 30 of his closest chronies and placed them 2-3 levels higher than they should have been in the org. We already have a CTO that isn’t a tech person and now a completely under qualified CIO? Good luck to us all.
Breaking News
My Fellow Sneakerheads, Over the past three and a half years, we've run quite the marathon as a brand. Today, Nike still stands tall—or at least as tall as you can while trying to hide a 20% stock drop under your Jordans. We’ve made historic... — read more

Winning isn't for everyone?
I don't know... it didn't click. In today's world, the message in the ad fell short. It sounded aggressive. And most important: we're about to start the olympics, where a lot of it is about union, it's about coming together. Am I alone here?
Pathetic
If you seen the latest letter from Phil to employees it’s the same stuff.. I once admire him, now he’s just pathetic. He’s trying to rally troops that he really doesn’t care about because if he did he’d get rid of the elt and bring in anyone who... — read more
Can someone gives me career advice for negotiating?
My role has been impacted during April restructuring. I was placed in a very irrelevant position that has nothing to do with my education or skills AT ALL! I applied to external jobs and I was interviewed by 2 companies : One in Denver and One in... — read more
Having trouble deciding if you want to quit?
For a moment, forget about layoffs. Think about your job as if they were not a factor. Are you satisfied with it? I think that's the key question for anyone who's still unsure about staying or leaving. That's what I asked myself before I decided to... — read more

Suing the Shoe Surgeon is Ridiculous

Advice: if advancing your career is a priority, go elsewhere
Just my advice for you younger, ambitious people: Nike will not grow for the foreseeable future. Without growth, the company will not create new jobs, which significantly limits promotion opportunities. If advancing your career is a priority, Nike... — read more

Sam Poser prediction
According to Poser, Nike will likely pivot too quickly from DTC channels to wholesale, which could lead to saturation of its products in the marketplace, increased promotional activity and a hit to brand equity. Stock drops to $67/share. “Nike is... — read more

Honest answers only
Have you worked on anything in the last 6-12 months that you are genuinely excited about and can’t wait for customers/coworkers/peers to see it? Keep it tight by not sharing any details, but I am curious where the next big thing is coming from. — read more
Is C-suite in the business of running us to the ground?
Given all the choices they’ve made recently, I am very suspect of their declared intention to turn the ship around. If they really want to, they’re not doing a great job.
Is anyone putting in full effort anymore?
I'm just going through the motions until this whole mess gets sorted out and I can figure out where I stand. I know chances are good it will never get sorted out, but I don't care. My new motto is "give back exactly how much you get." And Nike is... — read more

Found an opportunity outside Nike, Does Nike do an exit interview ?
I found an opportunity outside Nike, Does Nike do an exit interview ? If yes, can you request if you can have it with HR instead of Manager ?
I wonder
Is the reason SEC is so expensive because everyone was made a director or sr director? A director should not be working incidents. A sr director should not be leading status calls. A vp should not be giving incident updates. Talk about bloated... — read more
Judging by the amount of negative and bullying comments on this site
The amount of people who berate others, insult, leave negative and sarcastic comments, complain about DEI and other stuff... Just confirms why Nike is a big high school full of bullies who are unhappy with their existence.... DISGUSTING
