Why haven’t we reduced our product offerings? I thought the ‘reduce SKUs’ insight back in 2020 was supposed to become a strategy to simply make less product. Appears we still have 12,000+ products for sale on Nike.com.

Now it’s just quiet fear and survival mode. No one feels safe, and the idea of having to train someone who didn’t even earn the role is just salt in the wound. I don’t want to be here anymore. Whatever culture we had has been replaced by spreadsheets... — read more 

Too many tech threads and complaining in the tech organization. I use to come here and listen to the complaints around the organization. Now, it’s drowned out by tech people complaining about everything under the sun.

True that VP layoffs are finished? Heard next round will be only Senior Directors and Directors

Zero cool factor or gravitational pull for kids these days. Leaders are dusty and think the 90s hype and 00s growth is coming back. Not happening. Time to downscale and reset expectations.

How many of you actually enjoy your job? Not tolerate it, not put up with it for the paycheck, but truly find satisfaction in it? I don’t know anyone in my circle who does. Curious if that’s just my bubble or something bigger.

arrogant and a complete a-hole he needs to go - Hopefully EH has him next on the list to go!!

I’ve officially given up on Nike. I’ve been looking non-stop for at least six months and received a few offers, but none really stood out. Fewer opportunities than in previous years, which is worrisome. I’m considering the latest offer - slightly... — read more

https://www.theregister.com/2025/07/20/h_1b_job_lottery/ TLDR; Nike’s contracting firms are going to lose the majority of their staff. Nike will lose 9 out of every 10 ETW. Does our leadership have a plan for how we keep the company running through... — read more 

I am not sure what to fill or feel, are they tracking who filled in what? Do they care what is really our opinion? When you are filling in , are you bring absolutely brutal or cautious??

I’ve had solid leaders in the past who earned our respect and made hard decisions with integrity. What we have now are people with titles and absolutely no clue how to lead. They manage spreadsheets, not people. Calling them leaders feels like an... — read more

More layoffs coming Friday. Are you prepared? Are you ok with it being you and enjoying the rest of summer or are you concerned about looking for another job in this current environment?

Nike had bread and butter formula. Give me public athletic shoes with good looking style with celebrity endorsees with stories tied behind them. Maybe those day is over. Maybe public wants simple casual/athletic style. For crying out loud, we... — read more 

If working here makes you so miserable, I really think many of you should start looking for a new job. This is not me being hateful. It's just that I don't think that much bitterness and hatred is healthy. None of us like this job or Nike all that... — read more

With the reorganization happening will this be the time where we see new people in VP, GM or Sr Director roles? Or will this be the rotation of the same people getting more experience while more of us get overlooked. Same recycled VP/GM or “chosen... — read more 

We had SEC in early May, and GT in early June. Sure we still have EMEA folks on a different schedule, however there's been no other announcements. Especially in enabling functions, which usually follow tech.

Anyone with knowledge of what’s been happening in global / NA / APLA on the VP / GM level both for construct (eg women’s) or in fields of play (like global football)? Hearing rumors, but no reliable sources.

I see a lot of posts saying today’s managers or leaders aren’t that amazing. Just wondering, what was so great about the ones in the past? Like, how were they different? What did they do that helped Nike do well? Or were they not really that... — read more
