I'm not at Target anymore but I see a lot of Linkedin "leaving for other opportunities" for Director+

Most that leave on their own are either being brow beaten on a recurring basis or do excellent work and are ignored for promotion opportunities. It’s the Target culture. Just be sure you load your calendar up with “GTKY’s”, “Coffee Status” and “Catch Up’s” , “ Connect’s” and you’ll go far.
@a8 the people i know who have posted on linkedin left of their own accord. they left due to the unbearable decline in the working environment at target. there has been a significant and sudden downturn over the past two years in the quality of the work and the target workplace. the lay-offs, leaving teams understaffed, not promoting good workers while asking them to do more, all while ignoring and remaining significantly and noticeably silent on major PR scandals… that is why people are leaving.
@OP I have no insight for you, but on the subject of “leaving for other opportunities”, I have always wondered if the people that post on LinkedIn that they’re leaving Target left on their own accord? And if they were laid off or terminated, I wonder why dedicate so much time to write gleefully about the company that didn’t hesitate to dump you despite years of loyalty and working 60+ hour weeks? And as for those coworkers that I see them speaking highly of and the “friendships” they made and that they will be missed? Those “friends” will forget about you within a few weeks. And sometimes you’ll be ghosted like you never existed. I’ve worked at many companies before Target and this is a universal experience for many. We all need to remember that HR is truly not your friend, most corporations really don’t care about their employees, your manager, and even your coworkers will throw you under the bus for a promotion, and most coworkers (with the exception of the occasional rarity and gem) are not your friends.
