Vps reporting to same vp’s. No thinning out. Help me understand how we’re cutting operating costs? Like seriously.
Literally hundreds of directors in sec which is a simple upgrade project su-king millions.
Resilience teams do nothing but peacock.
Half of support should be cut as vendors do the actual work.
This is getting ridiculous. Take some hard actions and let’s run lean in tech to do our part in getting Nike back in line. Jesus Christ already.

Just get rid of VP under VP and also the unlimited number of Directors in countries does not even make sense. Bloated directors and above and just taking more compensation without delivering actual work themselves
Nothing. Nothing happens. Worthless.
@bb you better keep our names out yah god damn mouths, you know what happens when you mess with the ATL!
Sec folks “poring their hearts out” are individual contributors with director role titles, stock options etc. Cry me a river. Could have been done with 20 smart people vs 500 Accenture and Nike directors. It’s been 10-15 years for gods sake…..get it together.
@b1 No, he is a VP what are you smoking?
You must be a special kind of id--t to claim sec is a simple upgrade. That’s insulting to everyone who has pored their efforts into it.
Do not replace LP. Get rid of that whole office. The only thing that comes out of that place is pics of staff parties. Make some moves!
Waiting around to see some big changes promised is getting old. Those of us in tech are seeing so much gluttonous waste and it’s frustrating. Do better and quicker please execs.
ATL should have been closed. I don't even know why ppl get recruited there when all work happens at whq
LP is a senior director not a vp
GT VP LP in Atlanta is apparently leaving. There's one level of leadership that is going away.
@ad It's all a function of the assigned budget. New guy has to meet with their finance partner, map out all the moving pieces and decide what to prune or augment.
@a4 that's a poor excuse. How do layers upon layers of middle and top level management contribute or add value besides shuffling decks.
They're not just a cost... they are an actual impediment... they prevent autonomy in decision making and slow things down. Worst is the limbo scenario which I've seen at Nike repeatedly... take no action and hope the issue goes away or gets solved by some other team. In fact it balloons from a localized problem to one with large impact in many cases.
How is the large scale systematic changes being delivered under SEC umbrella?
Large scale systemic changes don’t happen overnight
