Data from Bloomberg shows that Nike's total headcount stood at around 83,700 as of the end of 2023. The company has been dramatically hiring over the last decade and a half - those efforts appear to have just stalled.
OK, even with say about 4 manufacturing plants in this nation, instead of just ONE overseas......just how many employees can it take to make underwear??? figger each plant for 6000 total worker count.....24k....... another thousand as so called management......answering phones/etc..... add in another thousand just for shits and grins.....250 free souls per plant....... |

Fuck that woke company. I haven't bought Nike shoes since 1989.
And won't be buying them in the future, either. |

You mean hiring for endorsement people like Colon Krapondick, Meghan Rappingho and Dylan Mulvaney didn’t propel Nike to atmospheric heights of profitability?

I have refused to buy any item with the Nike swoosh on it for years and I do buy a fair amount of golf clothes, shoes etc. Thankfully our club pro shop does not stock any Nike products

I started wearing the canvas Nikes with the blue 'swooshes' when I got my first Summer job and had my own spending money. I wore them for a while, but gravitated away from them because A) they started shooting up in price compared to other brands and (probably related) B) when they started spending yuge sums of money on endorsements. That was about the time their shoes started literally falling apart. I toss my shoes in the washer every so often, maybe 3 or 4 times a year, and that just had Nikes falling apart that were under a year old.
Happy with NB, they have wide fit, are comfortable, and last well. |

I threw out my Nike golf spikes when they went woke. Nobody on my golf course will wear Nike gear. The GM of the pro shop got new shirts in and nobody was buying them. He asked my crew why and we pointed to the swoosh on the sleeves. We all told him we would rather quit the game before we would wear that crap. Two weeks later, it was all gone and replaced with shirts from Asics. |

“Permanently laid off” softens the blow. That’s nice.
