What exactly is this central ream responsible for when product team is embedded in the Eng domain? Is DA is the leader of this team?
New AI obsession in GT
You people pushing this can’t be serious with these productivity improvement numbers you’re throwing around. Oh sh-t, you are? Did you do a pilot program with engineers to get baseline productivity and then measure the actual effects of using... — read more
Opinion on new roles/functions?
I just don’t get how they planned this. I personally don’t feel that the role reflects any of my interests or personal growth plan; rather, it's the exact opposite. It just doesn’t make sense at all—it's a complete 180 from what I was doing to this... — read more
ETW/Unemployment
My contract was ended 4 months early. I filed for unemployment and received a letter stating I was elegible for a certain amount. Then received a letter my claim was being denied -_- anyone have any luck as ETW claiming unemployment? We should be... — read more
DTC reorg and Startegy
Can someone please explain to me the new retail/DTC strategy updated under the reorg? Thank you for the clarity.
Too much competition
Nike can't rely on old models and its old glory and hope for the best. Did leadership even look at our competition these days? We need to be bold and inventive, not stick to "what works." What used to work before is definitely not going to work in... — read more
Chaos is a Ladder
Every 'Littlefinger' in Nike is ascendant right now. DEI is just a cover for chronic sociopathy embedded within the ranks. 'Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything' were merely your instructions to sacrifice everything. Think... — read more
So you’ve got a problem?
If you’d like to solve it, more power to you! Talk to your manager or talk to HR, or whatever avenue is best. If you’re not trying to solve it but want to complain anonymously and have 0% chance of fixing it, post here!
EMEA reorg
Any news?
The exodus begins
Year end is here…
This is a personal problem, but I need to vent it out.
Nike, you fu---d me up. You told me to "STFU", multiple times. I was a victim and you didn't care. AT ALL. I was told to STFU. I understand you are the largest law firm in Oregon. But I hope someday, you get yours.I still hurt immensely to this day... — read more
happy summer ! Emea reorg this week
Expected teams to be heavily impacted: Brand creative Product Digital And more Thoughts? Carl Grebert is supposed to be getting the axe as well since the region is heavily underperforming
There should be class action lawsuit over CFE
How come some departments do not have it and some managers use it for retaliation? How come as a manager when I go to enter rating ( after reviewing CFE form from my direct report and 360 feedback), the rating is already decided by Sr Dir who has... — read more
DEI doesn’t feel inclusive to a non-black person
This long list of activities feels very exclusive to POC and not everyone. Why can’t there be events where we don’t have to feel like if you’re black you’re included, if you’re not, you’re not included.
Am I allowed to be OK?
There are a group of us (I hope) who come from a poor working class who are here. We work very hard and have seen some (if not enough) recognition. We are doing well and from our standards are doing better than most of the World. Is that not OK? I... — read more
GT org update
TT reporting into CTO, another play to hide someone who brings no value to Nike and takes credit for everyone’s work as her own. When will leadership wake up?
Gentle Reader
It is I, Lady Whistledown, with yet another scintillating update on the happenings within the hallowed halls of Nike. If you thought Regency London was brimming with drama, you clearly haven't met the current court of jesters presiding over our... — read more
Layoffs being reversed
Hearing from some colleagues that some folks who were laid off are coming back due to miscalculations in the process. Curious how big the number will be.
Layoffs next week, asked to pick up work
At a time when people will be nervously waiting to hear if they have a call that day I was asked to be a sweetheart and pick up some extra work to help a lagging project. Are they unaware that our focus and energy might not be so good?
MP it’s time to manage with courage
“A CEO is hired and fired by the board of directors of a company. This gives the chairman of the board power over the CEO.” It’s time for our Chairman MP to step up for all of us and get rid of JD (and his leadership team)
Nike is at it again… potential fraud class action (but this time for the shareholders)
Just saw this article from March. If you click on the link for the lawyers it takes you to a form for a class action lawsuit... — read more
Product recommendation if leadership reads this
Please make more of regular mountain hiking shoes. People like me will never hit track, but we do hike a lot, and I am not a teenager who would want shoes that are too colorful and bling. Please make and highlight on main page some good grip mountain... — read more
Nike is still a great place to work
IF you're part of senior management. It's never been better to be them. It's just us on the bottom who are having a lousy time.
Miss Profit Sharing
I’m a lower level long term employee. I’m still so upset about losing profit sharing. I think many employees started after they got rid of it but for the rest of us, we know. The amount of retirement growth Ive lost because of this is so disturbing... — read more
Stay strong and FINALLY have your voice
Retaliation and silencing has always been a tactic at Nike. So many of you are done. Stay vocal. Don't let your voice be silenced as mine was because I was only one voice.

LinkedIn out of control
I wish I had been let go. It’d sure have been easier to get a job judging by how everyone is falling over themselves to provide a wonderful glowing references and leads to people they don’t even know! I quit because it was a toxic nightmare. I then... — read more
PSP
I was part of phase 1, so no visibility. Has there been any word on PSP this year? Maybe to stop the bleeding?
Is Athleisure wear toast?
Nike Adidas, Lulu - all their stocks all trading below their 2020 averages. All companies reporting higher inventories, softening demand. Has the industry ki-led the golden goose of the consumer?
ETWs getting the axe
ETW here in Global. After 3 months of turmoil, I was notified my role would not be extended and there are no opportunities for me to transfer to a different area of the business. My agency has over 100 ETWs placed across the business and almost all... — read more
Rules about converting ETW
Currently working as ETW, found a recently posted role I would be a good fit for. Current manager is contacting the HM and looking for the recruiter, however, I was told the HM can’t speak directly to me. Is there some kind of rule about this?... — read more
#1 sport
From the Q/A session during the GT all hands you’d think our number one sport was softball. Not unexpected though.
Sorry we had to fire you
But don’t worry, GenAI will pick up the slack. We are now building a corporation that will not need any of us. GenAI, or how to remove the soul of Nike. This scattershot “roadmap” is going to dilute the brand, distract from our real objectives... — read more

Workday login doesn't work after layoff
They sent a workday login and temp password that....doesn't work. Is there anything significant there related to being dismissed or will they just send a box for the laptop ? Don't really want to email my monster direct report anymore than I need to... — read more
