I have to imagine that if we do survive that morale is going to be bankrupt here. I would rather have a job, but I hope people realize that they are very talented and we deserve better of our employer. Don’t settle for anything less. Let’s support... — read more 

My leader has a meeting scheduled with the team on Wednesday for update on HQ changes. Does that mean we're safe from layoff?

Is it an email, phone call, something else? I'm guessing since we're working from home, it's not a meeting, unless they call you in, which seems a bit too cruel even for this place. I'm sorry if this is common knowledge, but I'm new here and new to... — read more 

The truth is that a little fear is good (for us that have been so comfortable with Target) it’s helping us do something we might have not thought about doing. Looking outside of Target. This is not the Target I know anymore. For those of us in... — read more 

Look back at the layoffs from 2015. The excuses are the same. Too many layers, too much inefficiency, too much redundancy, too slow with technology, costs out of control, and a business model in perpetual catch-up mode. The only thing certain about... — read more 

PIP worst process, horrible HR mgmt.. Target needs to adapt to fast and simply this process. TII - leadership and PEs in TII Horrible, immature, cocky with zero substance, no INTEGRITY, no MORALS ,ZERO engineering and ZERO FOCUS in meetings... — read more 

The downfall at Target is certain. If you survive, find a new job ASAP. Here is the big issue. You’re all worried about Trump and thinking the Mexicans are stealing the jobs when in reality it’s happening in front of our faces. It’s the Indians... — read more 

If we get axed on Tuesday, our pay and benefits are through Jan 3. Anyone know what the severance package is? I’ve heard some say it’s 1 week paid for every year worked, others say 1 month paid for every year worked. And do we know if all of it is... — read more 

Hey HQ, 1800 of you will be laid of next Tuesday. Have a good weekend but go ahead and don't worry about it, but we'll let you work from home. We will even make you work Monday without knowing. And thank you for everyone clapping and cheering for me... — read more 

Why do we find out Tuesday and not tomorrow ?

I have noticed during my time here that HQ has a really high tolerance for poor performers. We definitely have a few in my area that just skate by and hardly put in any effort. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they all survive Tuesday. Management... — read more 

Just curious here. If you do end up surviving Tuesday, are you seriously considering leaving Target once you have something lined up? I have read several articles that companies usually see large resignations after a mass layoff.

I ain’t never stepping foot in a Target store again! 😂 Walmart here I return 🏃‍♂️💨

I truly hope Roundel leadership takes accountability for how this situation has been handled. As employees, we look for comfort, feedback, and — most importantly — transparency from our leaders. The continued silence and lack of communication leading... — read more 

Can someone help me understand how laying off thousands of U.S. team members while backfilling roles with TII is supposed to help Target grow? We’re replacing people who understand our operations and culture with teams that, in many cases, aren’t... — read more 

i’m losing my mind.

If they haven’t been increasing headcount there already to trim here, I speculate they will start backfilling there eventually. I’ve seen it happen at other companies.

Even getting through next week won’t calm me down. We all know there are more cuts coming. And, swear to God, months of job hunting have only made me more depressed. Fingers crossed and good luck to everyone. Whatever happens to each of us, here’s... — read more 

I've seen a lot about Merch being impacted. SPT also already runs really lean in the Specialist/BP/E2E SBP area and a merge with RBX was JUST announced less than a month ago. Seems to me like they would have just done layoffs then with the merge, but... — read more 

I heard a rumor about owned brands and am wondering peoples thoughts. I know everything is rumor so who knows but I heard owned brands design may be very impacted. Has anyone else heard anything?

I understand that layoffs are coming Tuesday. Is it possible that we will all “know” by the end of the day or do we believe cuts will be made throughout the week?

Does anyone know if any communication teams are affected with the layoffs?

NY Roundel team members were just told that they have to start going into the office three days a week in New York. Do we think a total return to office is on the rise for all team members ?

Have we heard any rumblings for this org? A lot of support roles for the different call centers. Quality analysts, Data analysts, Access team, Workforce Management, Vendor Business Partners, Everyone in the call centers, etc

How do the people with a pension feel? Do we have a bullseye on our backs to get rid of us?

Does anyone know if L6 TM’s who still have a vacation balance will get paid for it if let go Tuesday?

Does anyone know if TC (creative) will be impacted? Considering that last Aug they had some lay offs and a recent org update too.

Consider that being laid off by Tgt at this point could be blessing in disguise given the company's sustained decline under Cornell, who isn't going anywhere. Why is that again? No one should have any confidence that Tgt - under Cornell and his... — read more 

The layoff news was supposed to save Target by appeasing our shareholders. Usually there’s a nice big spike when layoffs are announced. This news barely made a blip. Was it worth it?

How we feeling? Everyone keeps saying our org will get the deepest hit. My team specifically was even mentioned on here….

I was surprised (but kind of not) that nobody in my area of OB was active on Slack on Friday. Are people just taking these next few days off until Tuesday? It feels really stupid to be wasting any breath working for deliverables if I might get the... — read more

How do support roles usually do in these situations? Thinking L2-L4. It’s my first corporate layoff, so curious if anyone has previous knowledge from past experiences.

What are the odds we get an announcement upping your org’s RTO requirement to go along with layoffs? Double whammy slap in the face per say?

I've been monitoring this site for the last month or so. I'd like to ask whomever knew the actual details (dates, we'll get email to WFH next week, etc) to come back & post what we can expect on Tuesday. Will everyone getting a meeting invite - one... — read more
