The Nike sportswear chain is saying goodbye to some employees of their technology division, said a company representative to Reuters.
Nike will transfer part of that work to external suppliers, the representative said in an email, adding that the changes were announced last week.
The representative did not specify how many employees were fired. Nor is it clear so far how many people work in Nike’s technology division.
Bloomberg News was the first to report on the matter on Monday morning.
