They roll in bright-eyed thinking they’ll change the game but Nike reality hits them soon and hard. By month three at the most that spark is gone. At least they learn quick and bail before getting trapped like the rest of us. Watching hope die that... — read more
CPBMO reorg
Heard rumors of a reorg happening in CPBM ops. Anyone got the tea?
What is going on?
I don’t have a team, I report to a VP and been at the firm for only a few weeks. I am on an unpaid leave due to a family emergency. Can you problem tell me what has been going on? Are there layoffs?
JDI in June, Confirms Layoffs in August
Since they’re moving JDI to the end of the fiscal, we’re definitely having layoffs Late August Early September. Buckle up! In the words of the infamous JD speech in 2020: “You all asked for this!” If you want a package tell your leader you’re... — read more
Are there more layoffs coming?
With the recent announcements, do you think there will be more “retirements” announced? What level will the layoffs go to? Senior Director? Director? All the way to bottom of the org?
How long do you give it
Before the new flying formation cleans out their coups? 3 months for new org or do you give it 6?
Keep the Faith …. But be more like Faith
I find it amusing and maybe a little ironic that Nike is the sponsor of Faith Kipyegon’s quest for a Sub 4 minute mile. In my corner of WHQ, the smallest of decisions take days - sometimes weeks. Fifteen MONTHS later we are still trying to put the... — read more
When is GT announcing it's restructure?
Pretty much all the organizations have completed their restructuring. When will GT announce its plans? Hoping to say goodbye to a few VPs here as well.
Any word on merit increases this year?
Wondering what folks might have heard around raises/merit increases this year. Think we'll be back in the same boat as last year with a flat percentage across the board regardless of your CFE rating? I know the PSP outlook isn't great, and that... — read more
I'm hoping for cuts
Pay me to skedaddle and I will. Offer a VBO and I'll take it and thank you. Just give me a way out in the middle of a lousy job market that's making it nearly impossible to leave on my own.
Upward feedback
Has anyone submitted upward feedback to your manager’s manager?
Elliot is THE man!
How could anyone not like him? He’s down-to-earth, personable, relatable, and genuinely takes the time to get to know people. He comes across as someone who truly cares—and he clearly bleeds Nike. We all know it’s a tough time and that things will... — read more
HON = disastrous experiment
What did she contribute? Honestly. Under her leadership the company growth was cut in half. Dated strategy, nepotistic, gossip monger.
So many of you would probably be much happier if you quit
No shade, I get it. Working here right now su-ks. I agree. But for me, it's still a job that pays well enough. I'm not thrilled, but I'm not consumed by it either. Still, so many people around here seem genuinely miserable. And unless everyone’s... — read more
Does GT need a reorg, lay-off or no changes?
Does GT need a reorg, lay-off or no changes? What’s your prediction and the right thing for Nike GT? EDA&I roles, program and product management roles are some of the extra baggage which needs to be cut, which other roles. Nike GT needs to decide to... — read more
Positive moves are being made
For the first time in a while, I’m actually optimistic about this company’s future. We desperately needed a shakeup at the top and now we’re finally getting it. Let's see what's going to follow.
predictions in the next 3 months
Saw someone post reorg before wellness week with RTO expected after. Can anyone verify? Other announcements coming the next few days and weeks?
HON is GONE!!
Finally.
The reorg clearly hasn’t delivered results
Let alone that we never settled in its wake. Things are still chaotic, at least in my team. We’re heading into challenging times woefully unprepared. So how about developing a clear vision, trimming excess management, bringing in competent and... — read more
Rumor of geo reorg this week
This may be the week that APLA finally disbands and becomes APAC and LATAM. CS is gearing up for departure in the wake of the announcement.
Owning Nike product isn't as "cool" as it once was
Owning Nike product isn't as "cool" as it once was, and charging ridiculous prices for shirts and shoes that aren't that cool with declining quality we've lost the "brand" that once was. Bring back things like the Roche at a $60 full price tag with... — read more
Big week
Ya’ll ready?
PSP predictions
With so much volatility, what's your guess for % payout this year?
It’s ironic…
how the company consistently scrutinizes various roles across the org when deciding where to cut or invest during reorgs/layoffs, yet shows little to no critical evaluation of the roles that arguably have the greatest impact on our performance: the... — read more
Boonus Payout Question
Current employee and I've heard that if you are employed on the last day of fiscal but then leave before August, you still get the bonus payout. Is that true? This is assuming you leave on your own accord in June or July, not leaving as part of a... — read more

Shocking

Have cuts started?
I see the reorg is underway but I'm yet to hear of any cuts taking place as of yet.
Skims collab impact
This is the ultimate in desperation and the antithesis of athlete innovation. The growth narrative is so inconsistent and as a shareholder I’m befuddled. Come on EH, your impact needs to be felt beyond clickbait and quick fixes. Leadership is... — read more
Nike’s lost its soul
The passion that used to drive this brand feels like it’s been swapped out for corporate checkboxes and hollow slogans. Remember when people actually believed in the "just do it" spirit? Now it’s just clock in, chase metrics, and hope you don’t get... — read more
Nike sued over closure of crypto business
https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/nike-sued-over-closure-crypto-business-2025-04-25/
Possible Reorg ?
With all of ETWs being laid off, closing Rewards program, does anyone know if there is going to be reorg soon within Nike ? Will Engineering or Product be affected ? Which org might get affected ?
Sorry Folks - NA Campus is Going…
Get ready for N.A. campus to exit leases and move or should I say “shoe ho-n” everyone into NR and MS! Not sure how that is going to work but thank god for freestyle.
Why are you here?
I don’t understand why some people come to a site called the layoff and get angry that we’re not all kool aid drinkers. What sentiment did you expect to find on a site meant to gather people who were or about to be fired? I mean, you can’t be that... — read more
I thought EH said we didn’t need head of strategy?
Didn’t Elliot send email saying DH let go and position eliminated and how we don’t need that role? And now just announced someone from SEC (of all places) will be new head of strategy.
Deep ETW Cuts
If you have not caught onto why your contract has not been renewed yet, don’t keep hoping that it’s the normal Nike incompetence. Expect massive reductions in ETWs at the end of fiscal year. We are talking thousands, not hundreds.
Freeze
Do we know when the hiring freeze will start? Currently interviewing internally.
What is SEC?
I’ve been at Nike for over a decade. SEC has been going on for most, if not all, the time I’ve been here. What is it? Does it have deliverables and deadlines?
Tuesday April 22: Intel to cut 20%

Have you heard that some will have remote status will be revoked?
I have heard that some people will be told that their 'remote' status will be revoked. Can anyone substantiate that? If so, what are the terms? What groups? Will a severance package be given?
