, the page featured dozens of anonymous submissions from current and former employees of color at the company, making allegations of racism that range from code words for Black shoppers in retail stores to creating plans to sell sneakers for cash in low-income areas.

Another shared a story about what happened after the murder of George Floyd and how it was handled by upper management: According to a Nike spokesperson, the brand has “no knowledge of who owns the accounts or why they were taken down.” Everyone is responsible for adhering to Nike’s Matter of Respect policy, which explicitly prohibits discrimination and harassment based on race. If there are behaviors that violate this, employees have a number of ways to flag and ensure that the behaviors don’t go unchecked. This includes raising the issue with managers, or if employees prefer, they can use the Speak Up portal, or speak directly with HR, HR Direct or Employee Relations. Employees can do so anonymously if they choose.
