To the VPs who made the decisions

Did any of the VPs trolling the spreadsheets offer themselves up? Did any of the VPs propose creativity and alternate solutions? Did any of the VPs protest this round? No. They said, "Yes" and walked their people to the platform to board the exit... — read more

Small thing but a big thing

Whoever decided to create an image of a black badge with Kim Kardashian’s face and employee number 1 totally missed the mark. Disrespectful to PHK and JJ. History matters. That is all. Have a brilliant day swoosh peeps.

HR is hurting the company

Nikes HR function is bloated and getting in the way of progress. We are wasting a huge amount of money carrying an excessively large HR function. They foolishly think they’re experts in the business domains while they know nothing. Cut them and... — read more 

Your results and dedication mean nothing

I really hope people finally start to realize this. With very few exceptions, and I do mean very few, every layoff in recent memory has been driven purely by the numbers. Talented, dedicated, and competent people are treated as entirely replaceable... — read more 

CPO is out and DSM renamed!!

Another leadership shake up results in the ousting of TR, the Chief Planning and Operations Officer. The DSM function will now be renamed as Planning and report to VA, Chief Supply Chain Officer. TR was only at Nike for 6 years. Thoughts??

See the long term!!

If Nike wants more sales then they can sell to Walmart and Targets too. That will boost few billion dollar on top line immediately! Is that what you want? or think it is right way to go? Honestly people!! That is why going with Amazon is not... — read more 

Remove performance, enter toxicity

All the negativity and toxicity is definitely tied to so many lay offs where outcome was not tied to performance. When you know your work quality doesn’t make you safer, you look for other things to focus on. Please HR and leaders: Make performance... — read more 

I made a mistake joining

Nike runs on micromanagement and fear. I came in fresh out of college, excited to contribute, but they treat entry-level employees like liabilities. It doesn’t matter if you bring fresh ideas - your opinion won’t reach anyone who matters. I expected... — read more 

I am Also going to leave, but not now.

I am going to leave right before an important project I'm working on starts. I am going to do just like nike does to its employees, just don't give a F day.

Slash and burn. I'm out ... by choice.

So long. Leaving on my own after last week's ridiculousness. It was a slask and burn without care or consideration regarding who adds value or who can move to another org to increase efficiency and value delivery. This alone demonstrates this company... — read more 

Where the he-l is the Caitlin Clark shoe?

We’re in Year 2 of Caitlin Clark lighting the sports world on fire—and still no signature shoe? What are we doing? She’s a marketing goldmine, and Nike’s sitting on its hands. Are we dragging this out so we can finally check the “A’ja Wilson... — read more

NIKE'S BIGGEST MISTAKE?

Nike just committed biggest mistake that they committed last few years. And they have made some serious mistakes. The latest and worst mistake that they made was signing with Amazon!! The strength of Nike was independent, cutting edge and moving... — read more 

I wish there was an end goal

It would be great if we knew what the goal was when it comes to the total number of employees. Do they want to bring us down to 70k? 60k? Even lower? Just give us a number so we can know there’s an end in sight, even if it’s a few years away. But... — read more 

Bonuses

Intently was laid off. Will Nike be giving out bonuses this year and do laid off employees receive bonuses?

Let's have fun!!

What are your favorite signature Nike shoes? In my humble opinion, last time Nike had real signature shoes was Ronaldo soccer cleats with ankle elastics. They came out with that shoes for 2014 Brazil World Cup. That was 11 years ago. And that is... — read more 

Honestly happy to be done

This place (GT and D&AI specifically) is a dumpster fire. The bad culture breeds bad leaders who make bad decisions. All the leaders practice self-preservation and act only in self interest. Given they have been in the same roles through multiple... — read more 

What I fail to understand is ..

Why do we keep hiring the same people we let go of, hoping for a different outcome? Last year, we rehired the same people we had let go from the company within 3 months. If they are really good, why not keep them in the first place? Is leadership not... — read more 

Passively hoping Nike fails

I am losing my faith in Elliot

it has been more than 6 months since they hired EH. I had to admit that company was in a big mess thanks to JD administration. But EH has not come out with any direction or any cutting edge technology and campaign that will justify young, d-mb... — read more 

I’m not taking Nike seriously anymore

For the longest time, I gave them the benefit of the doubt, for old times’ sake. But I’m done with that. From now on, I’ll do only what’s necessary to meet the requirements and treat this job as what it really is - a temporary arrangement that... — read more
