Question for those who were impacted during prior layoff cycles: During the 2 months you remain an employee, do you continue to accrue PTO as you normally would? Or do they lock in your PTO balance when you're notified?

Given that this site is anonymous, isn’t it kind of crazy the amount of speculation that occurs on here? Meaning…no one with information actually posts on here. Incentive being, you can see all these posts of people freaking out, toxicity, anxiety... — read more

Teams have been gutted, some repeatedly, by layoffs and reorgs that solve nothing. Yes, talent is expensive. But when you're too lazy to cut strategically and just go for the simplest savings, you shed the people you actually need. Meanwhile, the... — read more 

Did it all get pushed back to accommodate for layoffs and WFH weeks?

Is a reduction of workforce at Nike a bad thing? Revenue growth will come from productivity growth. More efficient teams. Motivated teams. AI. A reduction is not a bad if done right. And, to what I can see, 90% of the time, the right choices are... — read more

No longer premium. Constant sales both wholesale and direct. Upsetting.

I heard those who got laid off are the lucky ones, while PSP situation will be so dire the rest of us will actually have to pay to be here. Anyone hearing this too?

I was hearing that there was a hire freeze with no timetable of when things will open back up. The agency that hired told me that full time positions are hold but I'm seeing jobs still being posted on Linkedin.

Almost summer Fridays. 4 hours of less toxic environment

it is too big. Too bloated. Too bureaucratic. I don't think EH can turn this big ship without grounding it. Not even his Grandma can turn Nike around. MP just rode the ride and let it get big. JD drove this 18 wheeler to the ditch. EH cannot pull... — read more 

Who the FK hired JW into Nike? Classic do-nothing consultant who only got the gig because another all-talk-no-substance “leader” (shoutout CG) got promoted. We are so fing tired of working for him. He has delivered exactly jack sh-t in NAO, and now... — read more

Upward feedback only works when the person above you actually wants to hear it. Ours just wants to hear that everything is fine and if you say something that challenges that state, you're labeled a problem.

From truly enjoying my work here years ago, to all the stress from waves of layoffs throughout the decline, now I've reached the point where I have no hope that Nike will ever again be a great company to work for, and I'm looking forward to being on... — read more 

Is the dilemma and misery coming to an end?

It’s getting ridiculous!

From product I see, adidas is about to pull the ki-l shot and eliminate Nike from performance running. Not to mention legit running brands with top innovation ASICS, Brooks, Saucony with Hoka, New Balance and ON taking casual running.

All annual reviews have to be done by the 24th, which makes sense because they want the managers to complete them before the next week when the layoff will undoubtedly happen. Last week of April it is!
