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!

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)

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 

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
