The only thing Nike senior management is good at is lying. That's it.

Will there ever be any promotions within the ranks of DSM? It seems that all the leaders in DSM have come from elsewhere, i.e. finance and strategy. There are terrific Directors and Sr. Directors that understand supply chain/planning better than the... — read more 

Nike has shed more than 20% in market capitalization so far in 2023. Worrisome?

How long will the board and shareholders tolerate the stock price meltdown (we are almost back to the price when JD took the helm as CEO), before they are going to show JD and his team the door?

Heard of a few unusual and abrupt terminations this year - got any good ER/H.R. investigation stories? Early this year a colleague got termed for bringing claims against their direct supervisor...it was pretty clear ER/HR didn’t conduct a good... — read more 

Why should I bother and give it my all if I'm getting nothing in return? I'm being treated exactly the same way as people who barely do anything the whole day. Then they wonder why productivity continues to fall. You give me no incentives to work... — read more 

Never trust that you're safe and always keep looking. Think about the long term strategy for yourself and your family. Always "YOU" first, because you are their second choice. You are never safe.

Got a notification from Market Watch this morning that MM sold 40,000 shares worth 4,343,600. Must be nice. Actually money made at the expense of others suffering can't feel that great to the soul. I hope she buys a nice boat and it promptly sinks. — read more 

My director is in the process of laying off our (really good) Ukrainian contracting team to free up budget to hire yet another exclusively Indian team. This isn’t the first time they’ve done this. Why is HR doing nothing about all these racist... — read more 

Is someone able to share the ranged for stock awards in the new gradings? Looking for the ranges of grades 50 & 55

how do we get Nike leaders to watch Barbie?

Perhaps I'm too disappointed in some things and therefore not very objective about the situation here. That's why I'm interested in what the rest of you think about product innovation at Nike nowadays? I feel awful when I recall what product... — read more 

I have a coworker who was placed on a performance plan and our whole team is absolutely d-mbfounded. Not a single person can fathom what he could have possibly done to get on a PIP. He's the most dependable person on the team and extremely smart, has... — read more 

JD took over for MP in January 2020. The stock has increased 9% in this time ($101/share to $110/share currently) despite dedicated restructuring and cost efficiency efforts. JD is managing Wall Street or FTEs? Both? At what point does the board of... — read more 

It’s funny how the migration from “VALUES” to “Grade” has resulted in lower bonuses for the people doing the work, and higher bonuses for certain levels of senior leadership. This whale is bleeding hard. Get out while you can.

Think about it. Most of the people who are being laid off are people who have shown the most potential and could be developed into excellent managers/leaders in the future. Instead, they get the boot and the losers who love to kiss a-s are the ones... — read more 

Has anyone asked their rating to be reevaluated by HR? My new, not to ethical and spiteful boss majorly screwed me over.

Our engineering org will have reductions, probably of contractors. Not announced yet.

Two yrs ago, massive layoff in Hilversum EHQ. Ever since i’m not able to get ANY job! Was part of reorg, worked for a dreadful manager who doesn’t do sh-t all day except showing herself off. Ever since i’ve applied for jobs left and right, sometimes... — read more 

Is there a wait period before a terminated employee can join Nike back? I see an opening that I am interested in. Unfortunately we (both me and my spouse) were laid off in the Nike donation fiasco. We were unknowingly caught in this mess. It’s been... — read more 

The subject line says it all. How does MF still have a job? I guess in true Nike fashion, "There is no finish line" for SEC.

How many layoffs have there been in NA so far?

The Peter Principle is alive and well at Nike. I’ve noticed several positions in my org have been filled without any observable interview process taking place. Colleagues in other divisions have noticed the same. I thought this was illegal or at... — read more 

I've already put in an email to HR but didn't really get a straight answer. I left after the last fiscal day but before CFE discussion where I'd normally receive news of my performance rating. I'm trying to determine if I'm still going to get PSP... — read more 

Consumers are being more discriminating when it comes to spending, and expensive athletic footwear is pretty low on the list of priorities. Few companies benefited from government largesse during the pandemic era more than Nike Inc. Stuck at home... — read more 

Surprised at the lack of PSP talk, also genuinely surprised that PSP was 119%. Good on the almighty decision makers. Based on rumors I’ve heard and with the higher PSP, I expect raises to be lower than expected this year. Thoughts?

Now that BE is out what’s the plan? Plenty of people left already, more to come?

Any idea what’s happening with the mass contractor layoffs at Global? Think it’s tied to the Guardian article about the contractor investigation?

Why has there been no inquest into all the Kohl’s hires? They were hired lightening fast with some shady interview practices. These bunch have taken Nike culture to the gutters. Financially too, paying Bay Area salaries for some substandard talent. — read more 

There are people on this site that don’t understand the structure of ER vs HR. I do. They are not grouped together. ER reports into employment law (Nike lawyers) and their job is to investigate serious issues and as an impartial third party. I just... — read more 

What do they exactly? Someone told me that 40% of their workforce was cut. When did that happen?

A lot of shuffles and reorgs happening in different teams. It seems that SEC is the lifeboat, and people are scrambling to be part of that

It’s not a matter of IF that little minx of a Goddess will leave you again…it’s WHEN. Macy’s…break the cycle! More validation that the 2020 reorg was a complete bust. The leaders stay and just reinvent old strategies as new, brilliant out of... — read more
