Are remote roles but located in the state of Oregon counted in the 740 reported in the WARN list? Or the 740 only has the employees based in Oregon (non-remote roles)?

Hoping no one needs this, but here's a very helpful and specific financial resource for any that may be effected: https://www-humaninvesting-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.humaninvesting.com/450-journal/nike-layoff-guide?format=amp

Sorry about reading the news regarding the full time employees. Do you guys think if contractors will be affected? As Cognizant is planning to move me in Nike Project but I am hesitant now after reading the news. Once again I am so sorry for your... — read more 

Five your team space this week. Even if you are not directly impacted, WE ARE ALL IMPACTED. Give some space this week. Let them be, and process, even if they seem fine. Heck, give them Friday off if you can or at least 1/2 of Friday. The ones who... — read more 

Do you prefer to be laid off in person or zoom? I’ve previously seen people saying that they prefer to be laid off in person, but I can really only assume those people are psychopaths. After seeing 2017 lay off, I rather be at home if I get the axe. — read more 

Are you safe if your team is required to be in the office Monday morning?

I know of more people than expected who received calls on Friday and were told take a demotion or take a package and leave. The mystery number.

Are we supposed to cancel all work-related meeting next week?

Don't trust those not impacted. They are throwing you under the bus.

I know it depends on your job grade and tenure but does anybody know how to calculate it for grades 45 and 50? My partner and I are trying to figure out where we will be financially if we lose our jobs next week.

Per document uploaded in OR WARN database yesterday, it looks like 740 WHQ employees were/will be impacted by phase one and two.

There should be an HBS case study documenting Nike’s fall and cultural erosion. It would make for great learning. Title it “From great to meh in 5 years”. It would be good learning from future managers on what not to do.

I have heard so many different things, does anyone know if meeting requests will go out by a certain time each day or are we expected to just be staring at our inbox all day? I heard from a few people they would all be sent by 10am can anyone with... — read more 

Hello! Does anyone know what happens to ESPP contributions if we get laid off? Do we just get reimbursed? Or will we receive discount stock?

Hi, want to distract myself and try to minimize thinking about what’s gonna happen next week. Any recommendations on TV series to binge on?

In a few years time, I expect to see a book about life at Nike from 2019-2025. Anybody documenting this?

I’ve been at Nike almost 20 years (currently a senior Director) and the last five have been dedicated to fixing internal problems, observing our leaders display anything but leadership defined behaviors, and watching what was left of our amazing... — read more 

Do you get unemployment even if you take the severance?

They are and have been negative even before this sh-t. Don't feed the bottom feeders. Let them go through their own truth. Don't let them bring you down into a more negative state. Narcissism: selfishness, involving a sense of entitlement, a lack... — read more 

"I'm at the Pizza Hut." Wut? "I'm at the Taco Bell." Naw. "I'm at [NKE under JD] the Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell"

Just curious if anyone was laid off today?

And this my friends, is what happens when Nike is not run by a Shoedog but a Showdog: Passion Vs. Getting Rich Culture Vs. Emptiness Playing offensively Vs. Playing Defensively Win at Pace Vs. Stuck in the Mud Execution Vs. Storytelling Energy... — read more

I’ll try my best not to think too much about what’s gonna happen next week (I know, easier said than done) and maybe go to the coast or something to distract myself.

....instead of blowing up JD at the next "all employee meeting" zoom in the chat, NOBODY, and I mean NOBODY, showed up. I know the peons can't see how many folks are on the call but you can damn well bet that JD and the SLT know. Since Nike likes... — read more

"As mentioned in a global note to employees" I assume they're talking about JD's note? Don't they normally just say that? But now they don't want to say his name. They must really want to hide him. Or this is just part of a transition.. And why is... — read more
