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
Hours of work
How many hours of real tangible Nike work did you do on a daily basis?
So quiet here
Doesn’t feel the same………..
My team is down to bare bones
It'd have been better if they just got rid of all of us. I have no idea how we're supposed to get things done now.
Posting here is a policy violation
It is monitored and will have serious consequences. Not as anonymous as you think.
How to get personal data from the computer?
I have been impacted yesterday and I have read in this forum to copy all your files to a box folder and name it personal. I did that. Any advise on how i can get access to that folder?
Layoffs are the norm at nike.
If you think you are ever safe at nike you are a fool. They don’t care about you. You are a number to them. Layoffs are just part of the culture. Has been that way for the last 10 years and will continue. Best advice- move on! The grass is absolutely... — read more
Ask to be fired during re-org meeting?
I want to be cut. Did anyone use the re-org meeting to request to be let go?
How important is consumer insights to Nike?
Curious to know from other teams, how important is consumer insights as an org to Nike? Do they add value to the business?
What brought Nike down?
What brought Nike down is same formula that existed since the beginning of time including Greek mythology. It is called HUBRIS. Many people in Nike were in a successful environment and they thought that they were the reason why they were... — read more
Opinion on EH
Are you people still worshipping EH? He is the most dishonest person I have seen. Go back and watch his first all hands - he promised to be transparent, people are strength to nike.. yada yada..
Yay, we're safe!
Now get ready for your workload to double because there's no way in he-l they'll be backfilling any of these positions, not even with cheaper, younger employees.
Anyone find the offboarding portal to return equipment?
The documents refer to it, but the offboarding process is not in the exit packet for me. I want to return this stuff asap.
The sole criterion for layoffs was the numbers
Just so no one naively buys into the grand vision or clever-sounding ideas. The reality is that the short-term stock bumps driven by the most simplistic cuts are the pinnacle of leadership’s so-called strategic thinking.
I'm among the newly jobless
Strangely enough, I feel a bit relieved - even though I don’t know what comes next, and have little in savings and a lot of bills. I’ve felt depressed at Nike for over a year now, and I’d long since lost hope that it might return to being even the... — read more
Looking?
Are you starting to look around just in case, or still waiting to see how it plays out?
How important is Tech to Nike?
Frank opinions please.
News
The news is full of coverage about the Paramount layoffs, but there’s barely a whisper about what’s happening at Nike. I guess we’re just not as headline-worthy. Who cares if hundreds of people here are losing their livelihoods when some writer from... — read more
How many VPs were cut?
Simple answer: not enough (if any). Most of them are useless and nobody would even notice if they were gone. But expecting layoffs to make sense is expecting too much, apparently.
Regarding Severance in reference to RSU / Options.
Hey everyone, today’s news has been really tough, and my heart goes out to everyone affected. I know this might not be the best time, but if anyone who’s impacted feels okay sharing, I was wondering how things like RSU and options vesting are being... — read more
All of these jobs will be outsourced
And this will continue to happen until we have bare bones left here and everything has been moved overseas. That's our future. Even if you were spared this round, time to start looking for something new is now.
If you weren’t impacted, STFU
Seeing all the LinkedIn posts from “safe” (for now) Nike employees as well as from people who don’t even work here is truly disgusting. “If you were impacted by layoffs today, please reach out me, I’m here for you.” STFU! It’s such an obvious humble... — read more
It’s going to happen to all orgs
Feeling for those in GT The unfortunate truth is more is to come. The EH leadership changes will inevitably mean their own empire shifts and renaming of orgs. Keep your resumes fresh, and remember no much how you enjoy Nike (if you do) that we are... — read more
NA Technology
How many of NA tech org has been laid off? ML retiring was fishy…
How many people got laid off.
What’s the count ? If it’s too less we will see this again in future.
Severance Entitlement vs Severance Amount
What are the differences between these two? Severance entitlement is a number of weeks until officially terminated. Severance amount is a number in dollars. Do I get normal pay for the entitlement weeks then a payment for the severance amount after... — read more
Anyone get their paperwork yet?
In layoff call, they said after 2pm. Nothing yet for me.
Nike going back to very slim IT? Regular layoffs in the future?
With this next round of layoffs, I'm wondering if Nike is going to really slim down their IT again. I see them outsourcing work with contracts to companies like GSpann becoming the norm. Like what they are doing with SEC/SAP. Will more layoffs be... — read more
Reasoning the VPs are providing in these org change calls?
Anxiously waiting for my time. I hear that the VPs set up 15 or 20 minutes meeting and break the news. What exactly do they say, is HR is in the meeting too? Is anything negotiable or we are just informed?
hummm....
Those who taken pic with MD during 5k run are safe. Resilience engineering going under lead engineer now. Good at last moved out of this toxicity place. Lot of favoritism in Tech Ops.
Ending today?
Are the layoffs ending today? When can we expect expect to see Muge’s email?
Any updates?
How we doing everybody? Wild to see so many long-time people let go, but I guess that makes sense— those people are more expensive. But also, seems like a pretty bad idea to get rid of the people who know this place the best… getting pretty sick of... — read more
