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
VA announcement in earnings
More to come in following quarters on how to drive efficiencies in tech. Seems of layoffs. What do you think?
SEC Tech layoffs coming in early spring
I'm hearing that there will be a big layoffs coming around in early spring after EMEA Go-Live. Preparing the resume and being frugal. Very worried about future. How are they even going to support all the cutover and stabilization issues?
Converse All Team Meeting
Did anyone watch it /attend? It seemed like 40 minutes of someone talking but not actually saying anything. Maybe I’m just d-mb and that’s why I didn’t get it.
Goldman Sachs says Layoff Announcements Are No Longer Viewed Positively by Markets
Recent research suggests equity markets are responding negatively to corporate layoff announcements, regardless of whether companies cite cost savings, AI-driven efficiency, or restructuring. Firms announcing layoffs have underperformed the broader... — read more
operations COO signaling tech cuts
"We will be transparent with you and have announcements to make after the holidays": the only kind of news you would want to hold back in this context is layoffs, further leadership changes, or both.
[insert tool here] su-ks. Let’s grow up folks
Instead of new threads for everyone to whine about tiny little tools that they don’t like (and are entirely optional for them to use or not use) how about you all use this thread to complain instead. What a waste of time to spend on a website to... — read more
Zero su-ks
Impossible to find anything on Zero. Any site keeps spinning for minutes. The much vaunted and showcase implementation of AI enabled agent zero has never worked for me... Keep getting gateway error any time I try to use it. What a joke... Emblematic... — read more
Just checking - (tech post)
Is the upper leader who said anyone who speaks poorly of Accenture gets fired gone yet? Many Nike employees were fired due to speaking the truth about them. They’re still failing greatly in tech. Just wondering if we still need to keep pretending all... — read more
Will EH and SLT be able to do it?
“Win Now” assumes a stable foundation. Many here question whether the organization is repairable, and others note it has yet to stabilize. Since the comeback strategy began, repeated executive turnover and workforce reductions make the end state hard... — read more
Existential Anxiety
I have been with Nike for a bit longer than 2 years. If I recall correctly, the rolling layoffs started just 3 months after I arrived at Nike! Since then, I have lost so many senior colleagues including a 10-year veteran , 18-year veteran and some... — read more
Rehire
Has anyone been successful in negotiating keeping their tenure at the company. Had a two year gap and just got an offer.
Built by Grinders. Undone by Whiners
Pretty wild that employees at a company built by Shoe Dogs, people who literally sold shoes out of car trunks and lived the grind, are now running to an anonymous forum to complain. Nike became the top brand because it was built by people who pushed... — read more
APAC 2 relocate
This new APAC office will relocate to Sing a Poar with hubs in Shanghai, Seoul, and Tokyo!
Nuke it and start over again
At this point I would like to say nuke all the workforce and start from fresh, coz I've seen some particular orgs being rotten for decades with politics and performance is no way factored into firing and less competent folks are prevailing, yoo eh... — read more
Politics over performance
Why is it that at Nike, career progress seems to depend more on playing office politics than actual work? I've noticed that merit has very little influence, while understanding how to navigate relationships and kiss the right butts is critical for... — read more
Dear Nike Board of Directors
Are you reading the posts on this forum? Do you care about the health of this company? As a shareholder, I do. You don’t need to hire a multimillion dollar consulting firm to diagnose the situation and put a plan in place. A rational person and a... — read more
Anybody else feeling completely burnt out?
By the time Friday hits I'm worn out from all the extra work I've been expected to take on, and even an entire weekend of doing nothing but resting doesn't bring my energy back. I start every Monday already drained, and it's getting harder to see how... — read more
APLA / CS / CW
Wow! Now with CW now gone, Aapla will finally sunset to combine into three geos to simple fy the structure for EH! SUBSEQUENTLY the roles will be elevated to president level. Tp President of America's Cg President of EMEA And President of... — read more
Speculate: Why MD the CTO was let go?
I am wondering after such huge tech lay-offs Nike definitely must be saving some money, I am wondering why MD was laid off, she was on the AI train, making sure we have right tech roadmap, footprint. Can anyone speculate what she did wrong? She is... — read more
Tech Reorg Incoming
History repeats itself. The great RIF’s of 2023 and 2024 were big. The 2025 one was disruptive. I don’t think we have seen anything yet with what’s coming ahead of FY27 given current path. Everyone in teams are going to be asked to cut and tech is... — read more
Has SKIMS saved us yet?
Well?
Oregonian or other newspaper
I would love to see an article on experiences external leaders had in the berm prior to their departure - what promises were made, how they were treated by leadership and their peers, experiences they had and careers after leaving the Swoosh. It will... — read more
Another reorg coming
We should expect another reorg in Feb/March. EH is a joke
Anyone know what is going on with Nike Studios?
Last month, the Nike Training / Running Studio that I go to abruptly closed for two days of "maintenance". During that time, they got rid of all in-studio staff except the trainers, instituted self-check in and set up a new central phone number and... — read more
Nike didn’t deserve CW
I said it. Great people leader, passionate about product and people but ultimately the Berm isn’t the right environment.
Just do better VA
Tech should make work faster, simpler, and more effective. Even at a company like Nike, where the heart is brand, product, and sport - a strong tech foundation is essential to competing in today’s marketplace. What’s tough is when leadership... — read more
I have an idea for EH
Stop reorging every 6 months. Stick to one organizational model, have a resilient plan that you can stick to for at least 24 months. All of these constant changes erodes motivation, creativity and our trust in the leadership. Help us build the brand... — read more
So MD was remote?
It shows her location as WA field instead of WHQ.
Tech cuts seem likely.
Consolidating the Tech leadership under a "sustainability" COO IN the same 2 weeks everyone is being told to hurry up and update their skills listing in Workday. The writing seems on the wall for another season of tech "reorganization". Does this... — read more
Talent Upleveling - Compounding Problem
One problem Nike has that doesn't get discussed enough is how they are so reluctant to promote people anymore. The promotions wave after this round of layoffs is hardly what it should have been when you stretch that over years of time that they froze... — read more
Work hours
Interesting - folks posting within minutes after CW and MD announcements. Nothing else to do? Like do your work?
MD leaving Nike
Discuss.
Dr. Muge Dogan will leave the company
That's all.
Nike in Amazon is mistake!!!
Like it happen to many direct sellers in amazon before, initially Amazon will deliver significant sales increase to Nike and everyone in Nike will be happy but after few years amazon will demand more and more with higher leverage due to their sales... — read more
How safe is it to relocate for Nike?
I was offered a promotion but I'd have to move for it. It's not a bad offer, but with all the cuts, I'm a bit hesitant to pack up and move my entire family and then potentially end up jobless. Is this something that actually happens or am I safe at... — read more
