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!
Layoffs loom, raises are bad, and we've all stopped caring
No wonder things are falling apart at the seams.
LA28 Olympics

I stopped at campus today and everyone just looks sad and unhappy.
Ex Nike here. I was at campus to meet a friend and the energy and people faces show the stress of the mismanagement company. So glad I quit last year. My friend encouraged me to share on here for others life is better after Nike.
The emperor has no clothes
I want to remind everyone here the actual power you have. They are scared of you, all of you. In 2018, a bunch of women spoke up with the metoo headwind with mostly unsubstiantiated claims, it collapsed the entire SLT in 2024, JD was forced out... — read more
RTO or bust
Heard from several trusted sources that RTO is on deck during this next layoff wave. Unsure if it will be before, during, or after the "reorg" / "layoffs" this quarter but seems like it's happening. wHO's exCIteD foR AlL tHe iN-OFFicE... — read more
Obviously intentional, not incompetence
The company eventually achieved the Grand or GRAT target of 50 billion. Well done, you may have sold your sole to do it. Now, well the market is always hard, and these businesses, International Footwear and Apparel are competitive, fickle, and were... — read more
This article is frighteningly true...
Because it cuts thru the noise to the heart of Nike downward slide. If EH and queen of self promotion CS are reading this and not sh-----g bricks and have no plan to fix this, Nikes days are... — read more
Promoting open roles on LI is foul
Seeing Nike employees parading open roles on LinkedIn is disgusting. You continue to layoff really qualified hard workers after you’ve su-ked the soul out of them. Those roles could have been offered to those people first. I’m ashamed to even admit... — read more
nike is gently creeping down to $30 land
I have been studying this stock (long term investor here) and I can see that it has absolutely NO support. On a day that market is flat it is down 3 percent. That is not good. That means that nobody gives sh-t about this stock today and it has... — read more
Nike is a joke.
I've been working two separate roles at Nike, simultaneously. They let go one whole department last month for one of my positions. And they just offered me half the pay I was getting for my other position. I plan to make next week my last week.
I have a riddle for you
who has body of Frankenstein head of a bimbo soul of Dracula compassion of Hannibal Lecter and once had and still thinks it have arrogance of Smalltown Prom Queen A: NIKE
How can Nike layoff emplyees and file for H1b?
The purpose of H1b is because employers can not find citizens with those skills. Today there is no shortage of SWE's, yet Nike has so many H1b's and continues to file petition for hiring them.
Don’t speak up!
Put your head down and do your work. Fortunately the CSO isn’t actually the one that keeps us safe. He sits behind the doors that he closes behind him in his fraternity room. Bringing the sorority girls in one by one, you know the favorites. The... — read more
Cut Tech
At least 80% of tech folks are not working as leadership said months ago that layoffs and reorg are coming. Yet things are still smooth and nothing is on fire. Zero communication from tech leaders since their phony vague meetings. Cut them and 80% of... — read more
Those can do; those who can’t Nike.
Ooooh, who gon’ get triggered???
Nike leadership ought to name Dave Calhoun Nike’s new CEO
Calhoun was Boeing’s CEO up in Seattle. Old Dave put Boeing in a deep hole which they are still in and about put Boeing up on the blocks for good. You know with Calhoun running Nike he will have Nike in the biggest train wreck ever that old Casey... — read more
Haven't checked here for 2 months. Highly recommend it.
I get it, times are rough and leadership feels like it’s changing direction every other week. That frustration is real. But having been through this at other companies, here’s a different take: Stop staring at the stock price every day. It’s... — read more
How low can stock go?
$25/share in 2026? Appears no growth left… Analysts and banks have all unfortunately reduced price targets last week post earnings.
Layoffs kick off the week of 4/27?
Is that certain or just a rumor? Because sitting around for weeks not knowing will drive everyone insane.
Nike missed a golden opportunity for marketing

CPI Merch- Am I Sc--wed?
Morale is at an all time low. MM is incompetent and still thinks he’s an architect even though there’s nothing to build. The biz will not engage with us. It seems like we are being setup for a major cut. Is it any better on other teams in this group?... — read more
Is Nike out of ideas?
When's the last time we actually innovated instead of recycle old stuff?
I have floated the idea of replacing EH about 9 months ago...
And about half of the people was for it and the other half against it. Now, it seems like 90 percent for letting go EH and about 10 percent against it. I don't know what 10 percent against letting EH go is thinking about!! Unless they are... — read more
Another week…
Waiting…🤮🤮🤮 This is getting ridiculous!!!
Layoffs lead to major success!!
Love seeing how these YEARS of instability and layoffs are finally paying off and that stock price is soaring. (Ouchy ouchy) W.T.F. Hint: Layoffs don't save companies. What a s***show Good old boys network has to GO.
Employee Survey
Lots good comments here but leaders may not see them. So put your feedback in annual employees survey. It is anonymous and official.

It's pretty simple.....
Imagine if EH is reportedly tired with his salary how tired the employees are. I imagine designers have a hard time being creative and most others are not doing anything from what I see, expecting layoffs that won't push the needle or address the... — read more
State of the swoosh
The fact that this is one of the only “safe spaces” where people feel comfortable speaking openly about the company and its culture says everything about why there’s no real path to recovery. There’s no room for dissent or different perspectives... — read more
How has MF been the only exec to survive the last 5 years?!
Literally every downfall is directly connected to the CFO. Margins, inventory, discounting and horrible guidance. How does this guy have a job?!
So many people canceling their ESPP
Just from reading slack channels. Even employees don't believe in the stock. Something supposed to be a benefit is now a financial burden. Another "benefit" down the drain it goes.
This can't be good:

Funny that people still talk about morale
What morale?
EH the Fraud
He’s not equipped to lead. Athletic trainer for Cowboys, interns at Nike, talks himself into sales role and we are where we deserve. Crumbling company with investors and even employees running for the hills before this place collapses. I’m tired... — read more
Fire EH
By numbers, JD grew top-line revenue from $37.4B to $51.4B (+37% overall). EH is driving a revenue contraction from $51.4B to a projected ~$46B (-10% decline). Numbers don’t lie or drop tears. Winning!
Nike Is “Public” in Name Only — It’s a Knight Family Company
