Topics regarding layoffs at Nike Inc.

After the firings, Now the hirings?

If your LinkedIn feed is like mine, it's full people that were either promoted or not let go, posting links to new jobs to fill the gaps that they just created with the last run. Let the cycle begin again!

Is there a plan beyond savings?

Or are we just in the saving mode for the sake of savings? Unless they serve higher purposes like, oh I don’t know, reinvention, growth and development, I don’t see any bright future for this company.

Another Glaring example of what’s wrong

As I watch the French Open final and see Alcaraz dressed like he’s playing rec league at THPRD. We’ve literally taken our eye off the ball everywhere. I seriously hope there were changes to the Olympic uniforms and Nike uses it as an opportunity to... — read more 

Divest

Teams are divesting sh-t tonne of products and data pipelines post re-org. These were built with hundreds of millions of dollars, if not more. Those 2Billion in cost savings by spending way more on layoffs, is only tip of iceberg. Real damage is... — read more 

The only way to get Nike to listen!

Seriously, go to the media with this stuff. The company is corrupt. It’s defrauding its consumers, shareholders and employees. The former CDIO RL and his side piece LJ literally VIOLATED SEC REGULATIONS and got a man fired for trying to report it?!?!... — read more 

Something Big is Going Down

Getting calls from media friends, saying something big is about to happen. Maybe JD and/or HO are out. Anyone know?

Reorg + Layoffs + AI = We are saved!

Reorganization in the hands of completely and utterly clueless and incompetent people. Layoffs for the sake of layoffs. Seems at this point the layoffs serve only to signal you are following the latest corporate fashion and that you are supremely... — read more

New AI obsession in GT

You people pushing this can’t be serious with these productivity improvement numbers you’re throwing around. Oh sh-t, you are? Did you do a pilot program with engineers to get baseline productivity and then measure the actual effects of using... — read more 

Opinion on new roles/functions?

I just don’t get how they planned this. I personally don’t feel that the role reflects any of my interests or personal growth plan; rather, it's the exact opposite. It just doesn’t make sense at all—it's a complete 180 from what I was doing to this... — read more 

ETW/Unemployment

My contract was ended 4 months early. I filed for unemployment and received a letter stating I was elegible for a certain amount. Then received a letter my claim was being denied -_- anyone have any luck as ETW claiming unemployment? We should be... — read more 

DTC reorg and Startegy

Can someone please explain to me the new retail/DTC strategy updated under the reorg? Thank you for the clarity.

Too much competition

Nike can't rely on old models and its old glory and hope for the best. Did leadership even look at our competition these days? We need to be bold and inventive, not stick to "what works." What used to work before is definitely not going to work in... — read more 

Chaos is a Ladder

Every 'Littlefinger' in Nike is ascendant right now. DEI is just a cover for chronic sociopathy embedded within the ranks. 'Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything' were merely your instructions to sacrifice everything. Think... — read more 

So you’ve got a problem?

If you’d like to solve it, more power to you! Talk to your manager or talk to HR, or whatever avenue is best. If you’re not trying to solve it but want to complain anonymously and have 0% chance of fixing it, post here!

happy summer ! Emea reorg this week

Expected teams to be heavily impacted: Brand creative Product Digital And more Thoughts? Carl Grebert is supposed to be getting the axe as well since the region is heavily underperforming

There should be class action lawsuit over CFE

How come some departments do not have it and some managers use it for retaliation? How come as a manager when I go to enter rating ( after reviewing CFE form from my direct report and 360 feedback), the rating is already decided by Sr Dir who has... — read more 

DEI doesn’t feel inclusive to a non-black person

This long list of activities feels very exclusive to POC and not everyone. Why can’t there be events where we don’t have to feel like if you’re black you’re included, if you’re not, you’re not included.

Am I allowed to be OK?

There are a group of us (I hope) who come from a poor working class who are here. We work very hard and have seen some (if not enough) recognition. We are doing well and from our standards are doing better than most of the World. Is that not OK? I... — read more 

GT org update

TT reporting into CTO, another play to hide someone who brings no value to Nike and takes credit for everyone’s work as her own. When will leadership wake up?

Gentle Reader

It is I, Lady Whistledown, with yet another scintillating update on the happenings within the hallowed halls of Nike. If you thought Regency London was brimming with drama, you clearly haven't met the current court of jesters presiding over our... — read more 

Layoffs being reversed

Hearing from some colleagues that some folks who were laid off are coming back due to miscalculations in the process. Curious how big the number will be.

Layoffs next week, asked to pick up work

At a time when people will be nervously waiting to hear if they have a call that day I was asked to be a sweetheart and pick up some extra work to help a lagging project. Are they unaware that our focus and energy might not be so good?

MP it’s time to manage with courage

“A CEO is hired and fired by the board of directors of a company. This gives the chairman of the board power over the CEO.” It’s time for our Chairman MP to step up for all of us and get rid of JD (and his leadership team)

Product recommendation if leadership reads this

Please make more of regular mountain hiking shoes. People like me will never hit track, but we do hike a lot, and I am not a teenager who would want shoes that are too colorful and bling. Please make and highlight on main page some good grip mountain... — read more 

Miss Profit Sharing

I’m a lower level long term employee. I’m still so upset about losing profit sharing. I think many employees started after they got rid of it but for the rest of us, we know. The amount of retirement growth Ive lost because of this is so disturbing... — read more 

Stay strong and FINALLY have your voice

Retaliation and silencing has always been a tactic at Nike. So many of you are done. Stay vocal. Don't let your voice be silenced as mine was because I was only one voice.

LinkedIn out of control

I wish I had been let go. It’d sure have been easier to get a job judging by how everyone is falling over themselves to provide a wonderful glowing references and leads to people they don’t even know! I quit because it was a toxic nightmare. I then... — read more
