How can you lay off 1400 people and not lay off a single VP in the process. I think that exposes the true purpose of this layoff more than anything else.
Layoffs done in some orgs. Poor taste using "Tech Activation Touch Base" again.
First off, I'm sorry to those let go. I hope they're able to find something better and more secure. Some orgs have been told layoffs are done. I've seen "Tech Activation Touch Base" still being used for both for reorg meetings. Poor taste reusing... — read more
End of Employment Box Link
Hi all, I was laid off today and received a link to a box folder for my end of employment documents. I have my email and password but everytime I login, it asks for a 2FA code. Its been years since I logged in or did anything in personal box... — read more

Nike is already dead
I unfortunately was not laid off. Honestly, I would’ve loved to have had 4 to 8 months of severance to get out of this he-l hole. Unfortunately, I’m stuck behind in a company that’s already dead and doesn’t know it. The company that Phil Knight... — read more
Venky Magic
How many different ways can Venky ruin this company from an operational role? He has a bunch of logistics professionals running sourcing & manufacturing, he is divesting of Vietnam factories to move to India, and now he is outsourcing IT to India. ... — read more
For those who stayed. What did you do different?
Were you the one writing AI first or AI driven in your linkedin profile? Did you posted that “ I would like to share that I recently completed blah blah blah AI course” too often in linkedin? Are you the one who bluffs in meetings and throw big... — read more
No email yet a good sign?

Got impacted! H1Bs beware
I had my meeting this morning, lot of my useless team and my management stays! Gonna monitor new H1B applications by Nike at Beaverton, will be the whistle blower if they fire us and hire H1Bs
Sell Now!
Tech has no idea what they are breaking with the people they randomly selected to depart. This will set the company back another year. Sell now while you can before you lose more! About to be Under Armor all over again stock wise!
How can you trust?
One Senior Director was asked to deliver the bad news. He did it. The day after, he was laid off. The question is: How can you trust?
Take control back…
This is a textbook execution of work turnover. You eliminate all of the talent. You leave a handful of your most vulnerable sheeple to say yes without friction. You proceed to turn over the work to the incoming team. Just another American company... — read more
Laid off six months in
I'm still trying to figure out what I did wrong.
This communication approach is completely unacceptable
There is no reason this couldn’t have been handled with a single, clear email sent in the morning to everyone impacted. Something every competent organization manages to do without creating chaos. Instead, we’re expected to sit around all day... — read more
Another day of bloodshed in GT
Game is gutted once more. 15 minute meeting with your leader and a script read by HR could have been done in bulk. But no. We want to drag this out.
What are the rules regarding PTO?
Are we eligible to be compensated if laid off?
Tech Activation Touch Base
My email is with a director I don’t report to and says “I’m setting time to touch base”. Anyone get a similar email? Also my team was hit already yesterday
EH is boomer who doesn't get technology
EH is very less educated with a typical boomer mentality that technology is just made of fluffy. He is not a strategic guy to understand that in tech driven world, although you don't need to be tech company but tech drives your competitive... — read more
Tech Only?
Were the playoffs that have happened so far this week Tech only?
CIS
How are the impacts in CIS?
My team was already hit
Are the rest of us now safe for the rest of the week?
Nike’s Win Now strategy is starting to look like a Cut Now reality.
Nike's former CTO agrees with this LKDN post that Nike is divesting the wrong things. These repeated cuts feel less like a thoughtful long-term strategy and more like a short-term push to satisfy board expectations and quarterly metrics. “Win Now”... — read more
PTC office closed
As expected from previous communication
I want Nike to grow and perform
I want Nike to succeed, but what’s happening in certain areas is deeply concerning and hard to ignore. Not all managers are part of this, and there are still many who lead with integrity. However, in some cases, hiring is clearly not based on merit... — read more
New beginning!
Don't be discouraged if you are impacted today. Think of it like a new beginning ✨️
Ac still here
And yet lots of good talent let go today….not seeing morale rising anytime soon if poor sr leaders still here….
Time to sell s**tty products on marketplace
Even no brand Chinese products on Amazon have better quality.
Great People and Leaders Lost Today
Great ones went down today. The good Directors and Senior Directors of teams departed likely because the SD or VP above them usually felt threatened. This is why Nike is failing. Best to them. They made us better. I hope they take us with them... — read more
Anyone get an All Clear yet?
Guessing no, but curious
Principal / Lead salary?
it seems like the general consensus is that the teammates let go were great but expensive contributors. anyone know how much principal or lead makes at nike? I don’t know why they wouldn’t keep their best talent to manage the tech with ai and let go... — read more
Converse?
Was converse included in this wave? In seeing some deactivated accounts suddenly.
It’s not your fault…
Think of someone you know that is extremely talented and experienced. Not the kind you look at and say “yeah, they’re pretty good”, but the kind you look at and wonder how they even do it. People of that caliber were let go today, so whatever... — read more
Did anyone get an invite for tomorrow?
With all the rumors, I'm under stress if more invites are gonna be sent or invites have already been sent. Any concrete information might help me prepare or destress myself. Thanks!
Layoffs across a single org
I saw many people in my org get laid off. I am in Game. Will they continue with more layoffs in the same team/orgs or will layoffs move to other teams ?
Anyone know how long these layoffs are going to drag on?
I'm hearing everything from "done tomorrow" to "weeks more."
How many do we reckon were hit today?
200? 300 so far?
So…..
No VP and no resilience/reliability…..
