1400 laid off at Nike - June 6th
Heads up everyone, saw a report on MSN stating Nike laid off approximately 1400 employees on June 6, 2026. This follows previous cost-cutting measures and seems to be a continuation of their restructuring efforts. The exact reasons and departments affected haven't been fully detailed in the public reports, but it's likely tied to the ongoing $2 billion cost reduction plan mentioned in earlier news. This is a significant number of people, and it's a tough situation for anyone impacted. If you were affected or know someone who was, sharing information about where the impact was felt could be helpful for others in the community trying to understand the scale and focus of these recent layoffs. It's always rough to see these kinds of numbers, especially with how volatile the apparel and tech integration space can be. Hoping those affected land on their feet quickly.
Nike layoffs again? What's the real story?
Just saw the news about another big round of layoffs at Nike, something like 1400 people this time around June 6th. This feels like déjà vu. I know there were cuts last year too, tied to that $2 billion cost-cutting thing. Feels like the company is constantly trying to shed weight. Anyone still there have any insight into what's going on behind the scenes? Is it a specific department getting hit hard, or is it more widespread? I'm wondering if this is just a sign of the times in retail/apparel, or if Nike specifically is struggling to adapt. Feels like they're trying to pivot, maybe away from some of the sustainability initiatives based on some older threads I saw? Hard to tell from the outside. Anyone have thoughts on what this means for the future of the brand or even career prospects within Nike?
Trying to mentally prepare for the next wave...
Okay, so the 1400 were cut in June, but we all know how these things go. They rarely stop at just one big sweep. I'm in Apparel Product Creation, and honestly, my role feels pretty specialized and maybe less 'core' than some others. I've been looking at LinkedIn and other job boards, but the market feels brutal right now, especially for folks with my background. Has anyone started actively interviewing or networking, just in case? Any tips for making yourself look more 'essential' or pivoting skills? Trying to get ahead of this before it hits.
Anyone still here from the Q2 '24 layoffs? How's it going?
Just wondering how everyone who managed to dodge the June 6th cull is holding up. I was in Merchandising, thankfully my team was spared, but the atmosphere is still so tense. Feels like people are walking on eggshells. I've been here 7 years, and this is the most uncertain I've ever felt. Anyone else feel like their role is constantly being re-evaluated or at risk? Just trying to gauge if this is just my perception or if it's a company-wide vibe. Let me know your thoughts.
Seriously, what the heck is going on??
I'm so frustrated right now I could scream. Been busting my butt in marketing for the last 3 years, exceeding expectations, and I feel like I'm constantly walking on eggshells. We're constantly told to "innovate" and "push boundaries," but then every new idea gets shot down by upper management. Meanwhile, the company is raking in billions selling the same recycled designs, and profits are apparently not good enough. I keep hearing rumors about departments being reorganized and roles being eliminated. Seriously, how can a company that prints money be so dysfunctional? If they're going to start swinging the axe, they should at least be transparent about it instead of letting everyone twist in the wind. My stress levels are through the roof, and my productivity is tanking. Is it time to jump ship before the ship sinks?
Severance Package Q - Need advice!
Hypothetically speaking, if Nike *were* to do layoffs (I'm not saying they are, just *if*), what kind of severance package should one expect? I've heard whispers of different formulas based on tenure, but nothing concrete. I'm coming up on 5 years with the company, working in product management, and I'm trying to get a sense of what a fair offer would be. Is it typically weeks of pay per year of service? Are benefits extended? What about stock options? Any insights or experiences you can share (again, hypothetically!) would be greatly appreciated. Trying to be prepared, just in case...
Anyone else feeling super uneasy right now?
I'm in WHQ and the vibe is just...off. I've been with Nike for almost 8 years, mostly in apparel design, and I've seen ups and downs, but this feels different. Lots of closed-door meetings, hushed conversations in the hallways, and people generally looking stressed. My manager has been acting weird too, super short in our 1:1s and avoiding eye contact. No official announcements, but the rumors are swirling about a possible restructuring and, you know, the dreaded L-word. Anyone else sensing this? Or am I just being paranoid? Maybe it's just the pressure of hitting end-of-year targets, but my gut is telling me something's brewing.
Rant: Nike's Profit Margins vs. Employee Treatment...
I'm just so frustrated. We're constantly pushed to do more with less, squeeze every last drop of productivity out of ourselves, and yet the company is raking in billions. And for what? To line the pockets of executives while we're all stressed out of our minds worrying about job security? I've been working in retail planning for 5 years, and the workload has only increased while the resources have shrunk. If they're considering layoffs, it's a slap in the face to everyone who's dedicated their time and energy to this company. Honestly, it feels like they value the brand more than the people who make it what it is. End rant.
Severance Package Question - Need Advice!
Hypothetically speaking, if Nike were to do layoffs (knock on wood!), what kind of severance package could we expect? I've been here for 4 years in Footwear Development, and I'm trying to get a sense of what my options might be if the worst happens. Is it typically based on tenure? Does anyone know if they offer outplacement services or continued health insurance? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Trying to be prepared just in case, given the rumblings I've been hearing.
Anyone else feeling like a sitting duck at WHQ?
Been at Nike for 7 years now, in apparel design. Lately, there's been this weird vibe in the office. Lots of closed-door meetings, hushed conversations, and people being generally vague about what they're working on. Our team hasn't been directly told anything, but the rumors are swirling like crazy. Heard whispers about 'restructuring' and 'realigning resources,' which we all know is code for layoffs. It's hard to focus on designing new shorts when you're constantly wondering if you'll have a job next week. Anyone else feeling this anxiety, especially in apparel? Should I start polishing up my resume?
