Nike is an eloborate blend of MLM & ponzi scheme.

They do know that they still have the brand name and a lot of clueless young people being exposed to the woke coolaid.

They indoctrinate you into the cult during hiring, serve you the coolaid.

First you feel amazing, you feel you belong and that you live in disneyland.

Slowly in your 2nd/3rd year you start to realize the defects, meaningless promotions, no career advancement, complete lack of accountability and a culture of retaliation.

Than you start to see the RNC mind dressed up in the "woke" clothing.

You start seeing that leaders dont give a cr-p, they dont care about serving the shareholders or the consumer. They are only interested in keeping the ponzi from collapsing while they enrich themselves and their close circle.

It is a small club and you aint a part of it and never will be.

Every quarter they drill on you, blame you, subjugate you to BS performance reviews.

after 5-10 years, you start getting disillusioned, the same problems that you spotted while you first joined is still there. Critical functions still lack headcount while billions are channeled for resume fillers for certain leaders.

At that point you need to be managed out and recycled with a fresh doe eyed new grad that thinks Nike is a serious business.

and the cycle keeps going on until the ML & ponzi hybrid collapses.

this is a warning for the new employees.

We were in your shoes once,

We once bleeded orange,
Now we are only bleeding.

"You are now informed"

I worked for a reputable temp staffing agency and they contracted my role with FISGlobal saying it was at least 6 month opportunity. On the start date, I join and they onboard me and let me meet my team of 3 onshore persons. Less than a week later, 1 person is let go; without any announcement. I meet my broader project team of 4 persons, 3 of which are offshore in india. 2 weeks later, my small team is absorbed in a larger existing team of 10+ persons; where sprints are managed by an offshore person asking me for an project update on a sh-t project that has 0% of success. 1 month later, I get a call from my staffing agency that the contract was cut and all their existing staffing resources were let go including my own position. This is no way to work and is a terrible company and client.
