The work environment is dominated by poor leadership and unhealthy management behavior. Employees are often minimized, spoken to disrespectfully, and made to feel small so leadership can feel in control. There is clear favoritism, with certain employees overloaded and held to impossible expectations while others with higher titles contribute very little but receive more recognition. Plus employees in lower ranks ideas are credited to management and higher ups. Not only you do not see rewards for your ideas, but management creates illusions, breadcrumbs you and is not supportive to create opportunities for growth for some people, to promote you. You are stuck in your band/level environment with close to zero opportunities for moving up until you leave Nike, even though your responsibilities and skills are 2,3 levels higher.
The culture encourages using people and not rewarding them accordingly to their skills and levels, encourages competition, and pitting people against each other. Some employees are allowed to work remotely, while others are required to come into the office.
the environment is fear-based and demoralizing. Managers could benefit from training focused on equitable treatment, emotional intelligence, and creating a healthier, fairer work culture.
This working culture is extremely detrimental to your mental state and very very unhealthy and super toxic.
