you should do NOW is bag your Nike job. Give your manager an hour's notice that you are resigning from your job at the end of the day. Let's say you normally get off work at 5 pm. So, you should tell, email or call your manager at 4 pm and say Adios!... — read more
Book 2 and McDonalds
That should tell you all you need to know about how far Nike has fallen…
DI-K'S CLOSING 175 CHAMPS AND 400 FOOTLOCKER STORES BY END OF THIS YEAR
That is awful news for Nike because after collapse of DTC, Nike needs more doors than ever before!!! There are no new stores coming down the pipeline and existing ones are going down the pipe. I guess that is when you say Nike is stuck in a rock and... — read more
Nike Full of Two-Faced People and Leaders
I’ve come to realize how much worse things have become here following the recent layoffs and changes. People are incredibly deceitful and backstabbing, praising others one moment and then criticizing them in the next meeting to gain favor or serve... — read more
Brand meeting, PHK dedication and inspiring message from the man himself
Cool inspiring events last couple of days. A window to what the best of Nike is all about. And what's possible. Serena was freaking awesome. Authentic, empowered and empowering... she's the GOAT alright. Wanted to note some positivity going into... — read more
The comeback cannot just be a message from the top. It has to show up in how people are treated.
Nike is in the middle of Founder’s Week and JDI Day is right around the corner. Now leadership wants to talk about inflection points, comebacks, legacy, courage, effort, and getting back to what made Nike great. I get the history. I get the speech. I... — read more
PK to the team
Strong story doesn't save companies. Strong work do! I like that and He's correct—companies survive on output, not narrative. But that's a principle for stable times. When the house is already on fire, "just keep working hard" starts to sound... — read more
World Cup Nike vs Adi
Just watched an emotional video for the curaçao by Adi and then checked what we have and it’s photos of current / former players and different artists / celebrities . Really hope more is coming - this just feels sad 3 weeks before the start
Job postings on careers page
What's with those job postings on careers page, isn't it irony or what exactly going on, can someone enlighten me, am seeing some tech job listings, would like to apply lol
Mark Parker
He's back designing shoes at 70 years old, not a good sign!
Nike has 9/10 of toxic manager; VS 6/10 from other companies
6 in 10 workers say they have a toxic boss, study finds Employees say poor leadership is driving stress, job changes, and even financial loss, while companies invest more in AI than in people. Link:... — read more
Nike has become such a weird company when it comes to talent
Management talks about wanting talent, but people who stand out often end up managed like they are a threat. Add misleading job descriptions into the mix and it is no surprise people leave frustrated.
Severance agreement
Is there any one who hasn't received the severance agreement yet? I ask bcos a number of people have received it.
Next Round?
Any idea when the next round is? This is a layoff blog,
Nike will move out of Oregon within 5 years
When PK passes, this business will move out of Oregon, every single study has shown so. Keep their "AWESOME" campus for necessary departments that need high visibility to stay cool. Ditch all the WA County Warehouses they branded, relocate options... — read more
Why doesn’t Nike fire under performers?
Nike only lays people off when changing the organization structure, not when someone is doing a really cr-p job or royally sc--ws up a business. Why doesn’t Nike fire people more often for poor performance?
Any idea if we are getting PSP or not?
Any idea if we are getting PSP or not?
my take is that Nike is too big!!!
Nike just kept moving forward for last 40 years at 90 MPH. the issue with Nike is that they are too big. They are in every aspect of sports business. Akin to adidas in 70s, Nike is too many things!! License product, performance product, non... — read more
NIKE'S NEAR TERM FUTURE WILL BE DETERMINED WITHIN 3 TO 9 MONTHS
if we are in same circle going on and on with demoralizing layoffs, same stupid upper managements who has no clue or leadership quality, no new design of revolutionary shoes and direction then Nike's clock is ticking as we speak. EH and new admin... — read more
Want the leaders to understand?
It's abundantly clear that the executive leadership does not care to listen to anyone of importance to the company. Don't plan on attending anything of meaning to them. Boycott the PHK naming ceramony and JDI day. Employee engagement surveys are... — read more
Wait, Nike used to be a great place to work?
I'm starting to think that's just a myth the old-timers keep repeating. You couldn't convince me people ever enjoyed working here.
Self inflation on LinkedIn
I keep seeing some certain white dudes who never rose above Sr. Director at Nike (or anywhere!) promote themselves on LinkedIn as having been a Vice-President. Nothing says executive presence like a title from the imagination department. Anyone else... — read more
How did we become so soft?
We’re failing because there isn’t a single leader including our crybaby CEO who is willing to cut through the bureaucracy, say what’s actually happening, and get sh-t done. Instead we get endless semi-emotional town halls. This is a job and not a... — read more
Is the hiring frozen?
I'm seeing new jobs being posted in the design departments but I was told that hiring was on freeze or just being prioritized. The new roles I'm seeing are similar to ones that have been frozen and still posted.
Honest Question
Nike increased women in VP+ roles from 39% to 45% and minorities at Director+ level from 26% to 36% between 2021 and 2025. Considering how few senior leader roles open up each year, that’s a big change in a short time. Has the company become stronger... — read more
One of the worse collabs
I've seen post on here dissecting and criticizing some of the collabs Nike has at the moment. Some of which has been relatively successful, like the Travis Scott collab. I haven't seen anyone pick apart the Drake line tho. That may have been one of... — read more
Employee Brand Deterioration
For those of you who are actively interviewing (laid off/still here) are you finding the sentiment towards Nike talent (you) shifting? Do you feel as if potential employers aren’t seeing Nike talent the same and has degraded from years past? I’m... — read more
First job nightmare
I just started my career at Nike and I think I made a huge mistake joining. My manager is impossible. Every week he either ki-ls our ideas, adds random nonsense to our projects, or just criticizes for no reason depending on his mood. He doesn't... — read more
KKR might buy UA. It is not substantiated but heard through my industry grapevine
That might complicate business for Nike since biggest team dealer for Nike is BSN (overwhelmingly) and they are already part of KKR. So KKR will own UA and do business with NIKE. Will they be fair with Nike or use Nike while they support their own... — read more
May be EH is the problem
It’s the next level leadership . What have they ever accomplished? All they have learnt is you are rewarded if you keep cutting cost.
Facilities usage for employees of 8+ years?
Unfortunately I got laid off, but I was wondering if we could still use the facilities? I know we get lifetime discount, but for some reason I heard if you worked here for 5+ years you can still use the facilities like Bo Jackson / NSC Is that...
EH bringing back disgraced executive
EH is trying to bring back someone that was fired for bad conduct but because of the lawsuit, they cant bring them back as a FTE but on contract. Does anyone know who that is?
remember strategic 40 accounts?
That was about 8 or 9 years ago. I wonder if ROSS, MARSHALLS AND TJ MAXX has been added to strategic 40 accounts. I know Nike is desperate but I wonder if Nike people count above as important accounts. That is curious As for the little account... — read more
China’s ‘Two Billion Feet’ Are Suddenly Running From Nike
Article came out today. We spent a lot of money setting up in China. What does this mean?
Is Adidas hiring?
Did you see some of their World Cup kits? We could learn a thing or two from them at this point. At least somebody still seems capable of putting out work people get excited about.
Don’t worry everyday about stock price
Let’s be positive about Nike trajectory and show up everyday with the strength to break through this together, we have so much leverage as a company (if we are able to come together as a cross functional team). It starts with US, YOU, and ME! And no... — read more
