Leadership visits to TII
I've seen and heard of almost every single L7+ leader of people in the company that work with TII is visiting the new campus in India from beginning of October through January. Does anyone have any info on why? There's absolutely no reason for them... — read more

Anyone have any dish on Jenny B’s departure?
I know it’s been several months since she left her VP role of design, but anyone have any dish on why she’s no longer with Target? Is that the reason why Isaac Mizrahi is now in her place?
Upcoming interview
I used to work at Target HQ and now want to come back. I have an interview tomorrow. Any tips on how to ace an interview for those wanting to come back? Has anyone here ever successfully boomerang back to Target?
Pluralistic ignorance
This article reminds me of Target: The term “pluralistic ignorance” fits so well https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/when-we-start-believing-our-own-bullsht-naomi-white-emeic?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios&utm_campaign=share_via
Store Ops RTO
Store ops just confirmed they're no longer flying remote people in for HQ core weeks so either they don't get to participate or virtual only. Looks like they plan to fully RTO 5 days a week by Q3 2027. Has anyone else heard of other pyramids doing... — read more
You all need a UNION!!
Target has done nothing take Away from workers especially in DCs. Trust me there is more to come. You want to scare them, just talk about u ions to managers. They will freak out. Guess what talking about unions is protected, federally. Make sure they... — read more
Has Anyone Experienced Quiet Firing?
If so, what has your experience been? It currently FEELS like I might be going through it, but not sure.

I read that uniforms designed by some goober are being released for stores, are they going to (try) make us wear uniforms? LOL
Target Together
Okay Target you still su-k and majority of your team members are overworked and over all the racism however you ki-led it this Target Together. The content from the leaders was the same old same old but the performances were a home run. How did... — read more
Wonderful, another reorg!
Because all the others have achieved so much, right?
Digital Product / Product Reorg?
Anyone hear anything about a digital product or broader product reorg? Theories on the entire product org moving under tech
Target Together
With morale being at an all time low, how’s everyone feeling about Target Together? Will everyone be able to fake it on our red shirts at Target Center and applaud the executives for 3 hours? Will be tough not to laugh while they pat themselves on... — read more
Quiet Layoffs in the Merch Org
Just as we kick off our 4 day RTO, leadership welcomed us back with multiple quiet layoffs in the merch… er.. commercial (what’s the name now…?) org.
Target Printing Services "Quite Layoffs"
What's going on here?
Return to office
I know everyone works differently and has their own preference for how they’re most productive—whether that’s remote, in-office, or a hybrid of the two. I’m one of those people who genuinely thrives working remotely, and I’ve proven that I can do my... — read more
For those who have successfully left and are thriving outside of TGT- what advice would you give us?
Starting to look heavily externally and here are some of my learnings so far. It’s a tough market. You better be applying to roles where it’s a 1:1, meaning you can definitely do that role or are very experienced. Unfortunately not the time for a... — read more
The mere fact that this Target layoff page still has lots of traction almost daily, says a lot about the company.
Post-2025 layoffs, it seems like at least once a week there’s a new post from people concerned about the direction of the company or about their own future and well-being within the company. I’m glad that this safe space exists so that we can... — read more
Broken Feedback Loops
I remember when Target was well known for solving internal problems quickly. It's been 2 years since I've had a skip level status. Most of my team didn't take the best team survey because they don't believe it works. The biggest problem on our team... — read more
Simplify The Organization
Has anyone heard about Target simplifying the organization in September?
New mess
Who’s fault is this new mess and how severe will the fallout be? What did you think of Cara’s email apology?
PIP Severance?
Do those put on PIPs receive severance benefits similar to a layoff situation?
Any news on layoff continuation?
Anything concrete?
My coworkers and I are treated like sh*t by catty leaders
What the title says. I see for example how much they pick on someone on our team, anlways giving them the impossible projects, steamrolling, not setting him up for success, dangling promotions that never come but expecting work done way above their... — read more
What is the chief AI officer actually going to do?
What is the purpose of their job? Track token usage and scold us if we use too much or not enough?
Of the 150 remote Merch who were told to move back to Mpls, how many did?
I’m curious what percentage actually took Cara up on the offer to uproot their lives and move to Minneapolis to serve their bullseye overlords
Current Leadership Mindset
After reading so many posts about toxicity, internal politics, work culture, terminating good employees and demotivation. I am curious as to what is the leadership mindset? Have the good leader beed fired too?
What is really going on?
How come Target is on a tear financially but yet people on here are so miserable? Our bonuses this year are going to be huge. Why aren’t more people happy? It seems like Target is making a complete comeback in a very short period of time.
HR Pyramid?
What is HR’s current RTO status? Has there been anything official communicated?
More Target Creative laid off today
Various roles within target creative were cut today with 60 days notice. Remember when people were proud to work for Target? Seems like a fever dream now
RTO Product
Anyone have any insight into if Product will be required for RTO? Me and a few team members are remote and I’m wondering if I should be worried.
Hour requirement?
One of my friends in merch told me there is a team who is being required to be there from 8 to 5 on RTO days. That was never a requirement before the pandemic and I’m wondering if that true for all of merch. I anticipate everyone will be on 3-4 days... — read more
Will RTO happen again?
I’m not within the merch org that was called for RTO back in April but wondering if there’s another planned RTO for all remaining remote workers at some point. Has anyone heard anything?
No one is safe
Nobody's safe. I've watched good people get cut, bad people stay, and the rules change every quarter. I've stopped believing in job security entirely.
