was in outlets and Nike stores during holiday shopping with family. And they all had tons of AJs, AFs, Dunks and other classic styles by the tons and in deep discounts. After this effort by Nike, I don't think that anyone with correct mindset will... — read more
Nobody asked me for a Nike pass this Xmas…
The fact that employees are talking about liquidating their stock at a big loss is a clear indicator of how toxic leadership, lack of innovation, poor marketing, along with Accenture creating long hours and headaches for everyone in Tech has caused... — read more
Sold all my nike shares
Left nike 18 months ago and I had a huge amount of Nike stocks. Sold everything today at a 12% loss. I held nike stocks only because it was part of ESPP. This is my first time losing money on the stock market but it is not the 12% that su-ks! It is... — read more
Uptick in resignations
Opened LinkedIn on this Monday morning to find lots of resignation announcements. What’s going on?
Two people on my team fired this month
Is anybody else seeing an uptick in firings or is this an isolated incident? I’m spiraling a bit and starting to worry they’ve decided to save on severance by outright kicking people out without anything, so it’d be nice to know that’s not what’s... — read more
Question for fellow Nike associates
Is it better to stay working at Nike during these challenging times or would it be better to consider a Career change? What other careers could Nike associates with our experience enter? As for me, I'm on the fence because I can't stand living in... — read more
How low can it go?
With stock prices bouncing around in the $50-$60 range any predictions about how low the price will drop once we come out of the holiday break? My prediction is we drop below $52 before end of Jan.
when will mass layoffs happen?
Obviously layoffs are happening in 2026, im wondering if anyone has heard when exactly, specifically for tech?
Nike Stock
Outside of ESPP contributors, employees being rewarded with stocks, executives; do people actually buy Nike stock? Trying to figure out why anyone would considering the results of the last 4 years especially when you compare it to the broader market... — read more

This company has completely lost its direction
Sadly, employees are the ones paying the price. I spent years here thinking things would stabilize, but instead it was constant disruption and recurring layoffs. Management keeps experimenting, backtracking, and repeating failures, while workers are... — read more
Merry Christmas another round of layoffs for the holiday
Nike loves its layoffs before Christmas and stock price declines after earnings shareouts. Happy holidays
What I’m most grateful for
Not having to work for the hollowed out dead shell of a once great company. Not having to act like the id--t leaders in tech have a clue as to what they are doing. Not having to work with unethical, trashy, leaders in tech. Not having to pretend... — read more
Nike cannot come out with anything original, ground breaking, influential like they used to
WHY? WHY? They are bloated and bureaucratic and then filled with bunch of a-s kissers who is being managed by even bigger incompetent a-s kisser. If you don't believe me then explain to me why Nike cannot come out with anything new like they used... — read more

Where did we go wrong?
In the 5-7 years, in your opinion; where did we go wrong?
ESPP
There was a time when partaking in the ESPP was a no-brainer. An immediate and minimum profit of 15% off the lower of the two semi annual corporate purchase opps. Those days are long gone. An employee comp perk that is no longer. Options are a... — read more
Sign of dispair: Nike copying adidas
Nike is so desperate on product innovation. Nike basketball’s senior-most designer copied the Harden franchise in the Nike GT Future releasing now. It’s not a foamposite revival it’s an adi copycat. Things are getting really bad from a design... — read more
Where is the breaking point?
Phil going to die with his company in the gutter. Shareholders underwater. Employees underwater. ESPP hasn’t been relevant for 5 years given sharp decline. Annual bonus was and will continue to be below 100%. How embarassing.
Hear my Bain idea to turn the ship around
Pay all employees in RSUs only. No base. No PSP. Only RSUs. Let’s see those slackers then. Disclaimer: due to local regulations, EMEA folks will continue to get a symbolic €1/month base. Ba dum tiss. JD, hit me up if you need a chief of staff in... — read more

Nike Layoffs 2026
Is there going to be any reorg or Nike layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?
I still remember a time when I felt good about going to work
Yes, I’m that old. And it hasn’t been fun going through all the stages of things falling apart, only to reach a point where I can’t wait to cut ties. I hope that during the next wave someone notices that I’m over 50, therefore a zombie by current... — read more
When is MF accountable?
MF has been in position and seen through this entire DEBACLE! Frankly, I take offense with him sitting on stage presenting 101 corporate Finance - we all went to college and understand how it works. Do your job and EXPLAIN the changes we are making... — read more
I really don’t see a way out, let alone upward
Everything has been mismanaged so badly over the past couple of years that it would take some kind of radical jumpstart, driven by an exceptionally creative and courageous group of people, to propel us upward. And we all know that isn’t going to... — read more

Deep cuts need to happen in tech even though that won’t fix sales. The problem is that any survivors will have no motivation to work if the same tech leadership is in place. AC, ES (all vp down to sr managers and in some cases managers. None of them... — read more
what Nike needs is PE
Let Private Equity come in and buy out PK. Break up all the Nike assets and sell it. Nike needs to be divided into 4 or 6 divisions so that they will be more nimble and hungry. And every stock holders will make more money because as is Nike is too... — read more

The Curious Case of CP&I (A Masterclass in Chaos)
All of GT may be a dumpster fire, but CP&I somehow manages to be the main attraction. At this point, logic has officially resigned. JS’s directs and their teams are sprinting in every possible direction like headless chickens, enthusiastically... — read more
There’s no upside left
The pay used to make the tradeoffs worth it, but weak raises ki-led that, advancement paths are basically closed, and attrition keeps accelerating, which just means more work dumped on fewer people. At this point, believing there’s a bright future... — read more
2024 Layoffs
The 2024 layoff was an absolute cluster. The company basically lost an entire year due to one of the most inept corporate executions I've ever seen. Everything was at a standstill between December 2023, when JD made the layoff announcement, and... — read more

EPS expected: 63 cents per share, realized: 78 cents/share (exceeded expectation) Revenue expected: $12.13B, realized $12.35B (exceeded expectation) After hours down 10% and word on the street is tariffs. I thought tariffs was going to be a much... — read more
Accountability
After how many quarters of optimistic words and talking points with little to show for it, does it become clear that EH might not know what he’s doing? And how does MF still have a job?
I’m sure some consultancy will dig us out of this mess
Right? I mean, who needs people proven in the field, skilled veterans, and invested employees with real passion for the product or the brand, when you can bring in random outsiders who just hopped over from entirely different companies, industries... — read more
