If the EEOC’s investigation leads to evidence of discrimination what will be the relief? Does Nike People Solutions get an overhaul, DEI Vice President cut, abolish the illegal quotas, etc.? There seems to be a lot of predictions about GT layoffs but based on earnings may be a lot more restructuring timed with this DEI complaint…
lol. We’re still waiting for a logical argument.
Nike execs will be paid less if they hire or retain too many white men.
Does anyone care to argue against this? Are we accepting this as fact?
the investigation is good, companies can't operate like this, people living in fear because they don't believe in listing pronouns, men literally changing their identity to protect their jobs, it's that bad
this is not right, people getting promotions and saying, I'm not even sure why I got promoted
I mean come on
bring up diversity numbers, fine, but hire qualified people and don't encourage these arbitrary protected classes to think they are 'better' than the rest
something needed to be done, and a message is being sent, nationally, as it should
@y1 as expected. Low performing maga that are angry at losing their participation trophy. Sad.
Mostly the hostile work environment wherein sharing any feedback is a guarantee of retaliation. Got bills to pay and kids to feed.
Execs at Nike will be paid less if they hire or retain too many white males.
Can you agree with the above? Take everything else out. Can you come up with any objective, factual, and pragmatic argument that counters the above?
Thank you!
Government organizations should only investigate laws that are broken when someone makes a complaint. And if no one makes a complaint, the government should let individuals and companies do whatever they want!
Finally, a woke lefty that wants less government!!!
Also, how do you know the EEOC wasn’t contacted by past or current employees? An article you read on the internet?
@xy and yet it is true.
@xq if you actually read the suit filed you would see it was filed even though zero cases were reported. As in, this MAGA biased appointee filed them without any basis which is highly unusual and indicates it was filed for the sole purpose of retaliating against so called woke companies.
@xm when you take severance you wave your right to most suit options. The best bet is through an EEOC compliant. This came from complaints of past and present employees willing to speak to the impact of the wild SEC filing data points.
@xm EEOC complaints are not public unless they become lawsuits or the employee chooses to speak publicly. So nobody outside Nike or the EEOC would know whether individual charges were filed.
Lack of public complaints does not prove none existed. There could absolutely have been complaints that never became lawsuits and remained private.
@xf then tell me why not a single employee or even ex employee has ever raised a formal complaint with the EEOC?
This experience is everywhere at Nike. Has been for 5+ years. Maybe 10. More? Imagine the dilution of value long term with this being standard practice.
Racism towards straight white males is accepted at Nike. Prove me wrong.
Without a massive penalty and or class action; it won’t change. Even then, it will still take a 10-15 years to resolve it.
It’s been said elsewhere… if there wasn’t anything to hide; why hasn’t Nike complied with the data request?
Nike has been awfully proud to share data on this topic to demonstrate its position, until there is an investigation.
This demonstrates that the policy is performative at best. Which is insulting for everyone.
I had a colleague - a woman, BIPOC - who told me she couldn't hire the "perfect candidate for the senior copywriter role" because he was a white man. She said she was forced to hire a younger BIPOC woman who was a less qualified candidate and not a culture fit. 3 months later that younger, less qualified candidate, got PIP'ed. 3 months after that she was gone.
I had 2 art director colleagues tell me they would never hire a white male photographer for a photoshoot. "It doesn't matter how good he is, we're not the brand for him."
I don't believe anyone should be judged on the basis of their skin color, gender, religion, orientation, physical ability, etc. That goes all ways. But not at Nike and sure as he-l not at Converse.
Just read this article from 2021 for goodness sake.

The issue isn’t skin color, the issue is that skin color is being used by the su-kers who believe the DEI nonsense to divide us and disenfranchise us and have us fight each other while we are being replaced by a foreign workforce. Obama visited campus a few years ago and shortly after that there was an uptick in visa hires. When the country is flooded with non-citizens or people who don’t care and some who even hate the country, our country will be easier to take over. We are losing our culture and black/white Americans have a unified culture that we need to fight for. PLUS visa holders are counted in the US census and are applied to the apportionment of US congressional seats. DEI is a tool and anyone who ever thought it was a good idea to try and end discrimination with more discrimination is a useful id--t.
Not a good look to be assuming gender and race when the topic is DEI. Unfortunately ironic, and does to a degree demonstrate that our DEI approach is failed. As intolerance remains.
I don’t think anyone should be faulted for benefiting from a policy they were unaware of. A new hire would not have known that white male candidates were removed from the pool. When joining a company, how would anyone know that through their hiring they are improving the total exec compensation simply because of their identified skin color. How would they know the recruiter / TA lead was given specific instruction to pull ahead diverse candidates, and not bring forward straight white candidates? How would they know TA was cross checking LinkedIn profile pictures to filter out candidates that didn’t look like what the VP asked for?
@c6 - the thought process here is - DEI should have been, everything else is equal let's give a nudge to DEI candidate, DEI should have been a tie breaker not the primary criteria to hire
…not serving time in a federal penitentiary for embezzlement while sitting as the DEI lead. A few other things too. But mainly that.
Dearer white men - What contributions have you actually / directly made to ensure NIKEs success recently over a women or POC? I’m so curious!! According to you, you’re really rocking it and not getting the credit you deserve. So this is really your chance to brag. Don’t hold back!

Former Diversity Program Manager at Facebook and Nike Sentenced to Federal Prison for $5 Million Fraud
https://www.justice.gov/usao-ndga/pr/former-diversity-program-manager-facebook-and-nike-sentenced-federal-prison-5-million
Aggressively swept under the rug. BFS and DEI was everywhere, until it wasn’t.
Nah, this ain't it
After Nike shows that main beneficiaries of DEI were white women this investigation will go away.
@as completely agree - that was so obvious and toxic, DEI slides ruling Nike All Hands was just a waste of time, talk to us about strategies to improve Nike performance, area of improvements - dont show us you are hiring as per the current trend, while a good %age of workers were complaining silently about the quality of these hires..,..
It’s humorous how quiet the loudest advocates of DEI have become. You almost never hear about it from them anymore. It makes total sense when you realize the vast majority of people were simply parroting what they thought was the safe and majority opinion at the time which made them seem like good people. It was always about virtue signaling.
PK will donate $300 million dollars towards the ballroom or something and it'll all go away.
probably nothing is my guess, but a stern warning shot over the bow
