All you need is charisma to lead when things are good. Things are not good and need to be led with tough decisions and swiftly. For tech he needs to cut at least 2/3 of employees and give the remaining a 5% raise to get folks out of slump. Cut all... — read more 

All in-house solutions, especially those in FPE, are no longer viable. Adoption solutions from the market is faster and allows the use of professional solutions, so adoption doesn't require as many engineers as building. Hence the reorg and layoffs.

WHEN WILL HE COME OUT NEW STYLE OF SHOES THAT REGISTER WITH PEOPLE!!! Where is next AF1, AJ1, Cortez? Next Air technology or Air Max technology? What is upper management doing? Other than figuring out how to cut the company and retreat!!! If EH... — read more 

No work from home E-mail today? No reorg coming week?

Maybe if we’re lucky. There is no growth story anywhere to be found… No cool factor and dusty as ever with the retro cycle continuing. $40 stock at best.

We should use AI to design our shoes, it has to be better than what’s come out recently. Tech will sell them for yah, if you make something worth selling!

I just can't do this anymore. I'd take anything else at this point, even something that pays less. I know the market is rough, I know the odds. But I've got savings, severance would buy me some time, and I'll figure it out. There will be other jobs... — read more 

We have 9k staff at GT right now. Will the cuts be 500, 1,000, or 2,000?

This isn't ending anytime soon. They've been cutting consistently through the last several years and that seems to have turned into a business strategy. They're not even trying to hide it anymore. If numbers need to look better, why bother with... — read more 

Be honest... how many real hours are you working per week? Not meetings or being online… actual focused work. 10? 15? I think most people spend their time in meetings instead of actually working.

Is it possible? When do you think it will happen?

Place your bets! Where will the stock price will land on earnings release day?

unless they get ”special” treatment again …

Sad to see how nice the Adidas WC jerseys look compared to ours. Is this a continued sign we are going down?

Hope this isn’t going to be a big nothing burger. For all the non work, waiting around, and lack of direction, cuts should be deep enough to affect operational costs or it’s another failure.

Re-org email from RA received in the morning - here it begins. Seems like PTC is the first geo that starts the re-org. Per email local consultation requirements are starting this week. Other geos, good luck - you are next in the row.

AC's a walking lie. Every word out of his mouth is garbage—nobody believes a damn thing he says. He’s not a leader, he’s a joke. Terrible speaker, zero tech knowledge, just hot air and buzzwords. And yeah, he’s right there helping ship our jobs to... — read more 

Please say we at least get the WFH next week this Friday, it’s time to be done.

Is the now tech strategy different from MD’s? and if not, aside from new LT appointments, why the layoffs considering a justification was given for the last reorg was mere months ago. Is the comp bleeding that bad?

Spring break should be less toxic, so I hope…

with the state of affairs, and the state of the job market in IT in general, if you had a job offer for a similar salary, less but close, less benefits, hard to match the swoosh, would you take it, or hold out at the swoosh for the 'promise' of long... — read more 

Record profits? Cut people, more for the top. Rough quarter? Cut people, more for the top. The math never changes. We just end up on the wrong side of it every time.

It looks like it will be in April. We'll also see what the announced third-quarter results look like, which will say a lot about the scale. I think the Senior LT already knows exactly when and how much layoffs will occur. I hope they reform the FTS... — read more 

The reason we’re in this mess is that tech teams lack guidance. I hope they bring back Enterprise Architecture with a vengeance. I see it everyday, rank and file engineers either don’t have time or the vision to design the next generation of... — read more 

There’s this thing called “At Will Employment”. It’s an HR policy that is downplayed or not even mentioned. It’s standard across companies, especially for non-executives, like everyone on this site. I recommend all Nike FTEs to get familiar with... — read more 

Keep showing the love for Nike

I wish they gave us more notice before this layoff, maybe 6 months. That would give us time to get our affairs in order and enough time to prove our worth to our respective VPs.

VA has zero understanding of technology or operations. Most of what he says are just polished filler phrases he’s relied on for years, rather than real substance. Someone please end this misery.

Nike Leadership (2020 → 2024) from Publicly Available Reporting • Women (Leadership): +7.6% • Men (Leadership): −5.5% • U.S. Racial/Ethnic Minority (Leadership): +17.2% • White (Leadership): −7.0%

Not just to the culture, but to having a direction that makes sense. All these reorgs and layoffs feel like they're just propping up the stock price. Because I sure can't see any other purpose.

This organization looks very strange, I mean the domain merger and the fact that VPs report to VP. On top of that, there are strange creations like Tech Mod, a lot of in-house solutions and a lot of lazy engineering dinosaurs in various positions... — read more
