If rumours are to be believed, there is strong probablity that all ETW contracts wont be extended after June!!! Good luck ETW's , its time to search for new clients or projects!!!!
Got my paystub for final check (5/3) but no severance -- is that a separate payment?
I reviewed my severance package letter but it has no details other than that I will receive it on May 3. I just checked ADP and my final paystub is there (two weeks pay + PTO), but no mention of severance. While I appreciate receiving severance at... — read more
NA
NA is a disaster. SU does not know what is happening and the HR VP MP has no idea what he is doing. When HR is engaged, he gives useless advice and leads SU further away from real issues. The LT is dysfunctional. CJ, SG, JK, MG all driving their own... — read more
Has anyone volunteer for layoff?
I was not given the option to take severance. I was offered a different team and dynamic only. I want to reach out to HR and see if I can volunteer for layoff in exchange of severance. Has anyone done it before? If so; how shall I approach this? I... — read more
Executive Protection Role
Why do the executives need protection? This is anxiety-inducing to say the least. https://jobs.nike.com/job/R-26777?from=job%20search%20funnel
Hey leaders
To all the leaders who may or may not been involved in the selection process, you can still be human. If you had a good relationship with your impacted employee or an employee in your org, it’s ok to show a little care and compassion. You don’t have... — read more
GPS
Its strange to see that GPS saw a bloodbath and now there are new roles advertised hiring at lower levels. The global VP lives and works out of AMS and his full leadership team was impacted, along with many others. The CFO doesn't understand what... — read more
Phase 1 Layoff
When do we get our severance… I am confused. Anyone received theirs yet?
I’m sorry
To all the people who moved to Portland to work at Nike over the last 5 years and ended up losing their jobs…. I’m sorry you never saw this company at its best. Sorry you never saw true leadership and sorry you’re now left picking up the pieces. It’s... — read more
how were we chosen?
how were we chosen to be affected? on what basis? i was there since 2011, and i know cfe’s and the cfe process is horsesh*t. so how were we chosen? im happy i was chosen, because nike isnt like it was before the pandemic and before jd arrived. but i... — read more
Hey Tech Ops VP EC….
Why are we all forced to come into office when you aren’t? ATL is not where your team is. What gives? How about an “ask me anything” session where we can address this please.
Applying before layoff term date
What would happen if I apply and get hired for a different role within Nike before my term date is in effect? Will I lose my severance and get hired internally?
Don’t blame JD!
The JD hate makes no sense. He has made the company cleaner, more streamlined, and ready to take back the market! The stock will bounce back once his long game is really achieved! Look at yourselves for not being productive enough! Quit trying to... — read more
APLA will be no more
Part of the plan is collapsing APLA which never made sense anyway. LATAM new geo with DB leading and APAC led by AD. CS will lead NA and CG still EMEA.
Is it Over? When is JD exiting ?
Any updates on how far this layoff game will stretch and truly is it over for months? With ridiculously bad leadership is it okay to wish for JD’s exit?
I feel sick to my stomach
I thought I wouldn't dread work anymore once layoffs were over. Apparently, I thought wrong.
Merch and DSM Structure
Hi all, I feel sorry for the ones who were let go and hope everyone feels better soon. As a colleague working in EMEA, i am curies to know how Merch and DSM roles were affected in NA. Are there still roles existing in MPUs? Anything... — read more
Remote work "pilot"
Will this "pilot" come to an end? Remote people given a choice to RTO or take severance?
If you are a leader, be mellow this week. It's gonna be weird and hard.
Be chill, my friends. Be mellow. Not demanding. Not "bossy". It's gonna be weird. Peeps are gone. Things are new ... and not all in a good way. Give us some space. Be the good manager, not the a-hole manager. Pretty please, my friends.
I am so not looking forward to tomorrow's NSRL lunch
Just saying.... Managers seem to have entered push push push mode.. Their survival instinct has kicked in... My manager was decent but suddenly turned into a passive aggressive micro manager.... ugh... I wish the day grow long today. I am so not... — read more
When's the CTO gonna RTO?
Hint: never. She's a grifter. This "job" is just welfare for her, and the board is d-mb and corrupt enough to pay it. Guarantee that as soon as her share lockup is over, she dumps $10mil in stock, quits, and gets that senior job at AWS she really... — read more

When it all started going downhill
It wasn't covid, it was turnstiles!
Severence Package details
what does yours look like? want to make sure I'm not getting shafted. paid til end of June. 12 weeks severence bonus , entitled to PSP and PTO pay out. comes out to about 6 months covered.
Global Consumer Direct Retail Design hit hard I hear?
I'm sorry to those affected. Anyone have further insight? x
“It wasn’t performance based”
That was said during my call Monday by someone with zero and I mean ZERO compassion. Ok, so what the fu-k was the reason I lost my job?! Anyone else hear this line of steaming garbage?
Making it simple for alleged leadership..
A startup feel and mentality around product design and launch is generally a good thing. A startup feel and mentality around global technology in a Forbes 100 company is generally not a good thing. Fix both before its truly too late.
Don't do any extra work!
If your team was affected, I can guarantee you that you'll be expected to do the work that was done by your laid-off coworkers. This will be true even if you're already overloaded with your own work. Don't do it. Even if you do it just once because... — read more

What happens if you are moved into a role you don’t want? Eligible for severance?
SD confirmed that I “still have a role, but it may look different”. No idea what this new role entails, but predicting it’s going to be taking on additional work with no change to comp. Only finding out next week. Are we eligible for severance if... — read more
Bonus
Do we still get the bonus if we were let go?
Dreading next week. My Dir is an over-driving spastic mess
I was hoping to be let go. Feeling so depressed to still be here. My already insecure, neurotic Dir who can't let anyone else shine has a new boss. This will kick the craziness and pressure into overdrive. Push, push, push. Micromanage... — read more

Attrition folks!!
If you were moved to another team or demoted JD wants you to leave, rent free. This saves him $200k on average/employee on severance costs. JD bets roughly 25% of you in this camp leave and Bain smiles to the bank. Reality. Do you make him happy... — read more
"That zoom call marked the end of my 38+ years as a Nike employee"
Not my story but just saw the post in Linkedin. Seriously Nike? this person should get a medal and maybe a building in her name, not a Zoom Call to end a career. We can do better. Hopefully, sooner than later, true leadership will make things right... — read more
Accent**e needs to go from Nike
I cannot believe the millions of dollars we pay for idiocy and paper pushers. It could have saved many FTEs from Nike had the consultants got chopped down. There are probably 10-15 good consultants in that cesspool of over 1000. Zero knowledge, zero... — read more
New twist on this round of layoffs
Not only was there the “you’re getting a demotion and/or moving to a new team—take it or leave it” (although at least they provided severance if you took option B) New twist: “Hey employee, we.re going to lay you off in a few months, but feel free... — read more
Has anyone tried to cash out their sabbatical hours in lieu of taking the time?
I did a quick search on the HR site but no article comes up detailing what percentage they would pay out and how much tax I would owe. This is assuming I stay on on board with intention to leave before Sept.
