I am increasingly dissatisfied with the way Adidas is managed. I've been here for a long time and maybe that's the reason why I still care. Actually, I think that employees in general care more about the company and the brand than does the... — read more 

I started ab 1 yr ago. Immediately I knew something was wrong. I was surrounded by 90% green employees and management was non-existent. When I interviewed to relocate from across the globe, I was intrigued by the project of JL and promised a new... — read more 

I despise it. Management constantly blabs their mouth without saying anything concrete. How do they plan to bring this company back into the game? Is that even possible anymore? What does the leadership actually do to make that happen? It's sad to... — read more 

They keep saying everything is fine. Seems impossible. Nothing about the LA location makes sense. Why spend so much on relocations and real estate for failing BU’s. It’s been over a year of working out of below par “temporary spaces” with many weak... — read more 

Only a complete ignoramus does not see that the company has too many issues. Nevertheless, our leaders still keep saying that everything is OK. Why do they do that? That's not the right approach to solve problems here.

I'm tired of hearing people say they're going to apply at Nike because Adidas has gone off the rails. With everything that's been happening lately and one scandal following another, I can still confidently say that working here is better than working... — read more

Adidas has initiated a hiring freeze but suggested it does not plan to conduct layoffs after it cut ties with hip-hop mogul Ye, forfeiting a multibillion-dollar business that had become increasingly problematic in recent... — read more 

We finally dropped Ye. A decision that should've happened weeks ago. It is a solid reminder - this brand cannot make a decision to save its life. I've worked on some of the largest projects within the org over the last few years and have directly... — read more 

It's impossible to stop attrition, but I think Adidas can still slow it down. of course, if there is will to do so.

Seriously. We’re a sports company and it seems like no one actually enjoys the sports we make products for.

There is no one left on the board or CLG who inspired me to stay. All getting paid crazy amounts but they are creating no value. Most of them are unqualified to do their jobs. Most of them talk sh-t about each other and the board and the board talks... — read more 

I don't know what the management of the company intends to do to boost employee morale and whether they will do anything about it. Sometimes it seems to me that they don't actually care? The company is experiencing a serious loss of employees who... — read more 

So, Ye already had issues with adidas and now buys Parler. How long will it take until the deal is broken? How many layoffs will come after not seeing that income?

Did Kanye really tell Grevy + Torben he wanted Liedtke as CEO and recorded it all to post to YouTube? This is saucy… https://youtu.be/_dw7JafNGdY

toxicity permeates every corner of the company, this is a symptom of the leadership style. K's blind arrogance (something he was fired for before and said he had learnt from...) and the narcissistic leadership culture he promotes is a cancer that... — read more 

It might be the biggest layoff since the 90s. Obviously due to … the external economic circumstances, this time. With K already exiting, this is just another excuse, for this year. The message from the worker's council couldn’t be clearer. The... — read more 

I am in a dilemma whether it would be a smart move after many years at Adidas.

As someone who really loved working here, I feel bad when I see how much this leadership is hurting the company. Unfortunately, I am afraid that this damage is irreparable. When you compare Adidas today and our main competitors, is it possible... — read more 

I do not think it can be fixed. The company is choke-full with Franconian village mentality M1 and M2, YES men on German blue card and swarming ambitious VP-wannabes with severe psychopatic traits. Add to that some extreme earnings-first mindset... — read more 

I'm done with Adidas and I'd like nothing more than to be able to leave with severance. I have earned that much in my more than 14 years here. If they offered us voluntary buyouts I'd be the first one to accept. I also know for a fact I'm not the... — read more 

I was once proud to work here. Now I'm desperate to find a way out because of the way the company is treating employees. We work hard and in return, we get used up, stepped all over, and then laid off. Adidas lost all of its values and it now treats... — read more

The Kanye situation has made an ugly truth very public - if you make this company enough money, you can bully and harass and no one will do a thing. This is true for senior leaders within the company too. There is no accountability for bad actions... — read more

I’m very curious if the soul crushing hours are just my department or if it is company wide. I find it ironic that our external communications focuses on physical and mental health and yet I often work so much I can’t even shower or have a proper... — read more 

The company is in a downward spiral and if you ask me, I think that it might be too late for some things to be fixed here. And yet, I'm thinking about what should be done as a priority to get the company back on track. Any thoughts?

I gave notice, but I'm also a little nostalgic because it used to be a pleasure to work at Adidas. Now this is no longer even similar to the company it used to be. There were many terribly bad leadership moves that led to this...

Over the summer, it seems there was an insane wave of Black employees who left. What is going on here? I’m white, been inPDX for 5 years and felt encouraged…maybe even relieved…from the UAR work in 2020 bc it was needed for a really long time. Now... — read more
