Does anyone else feel like targets identity crisis and pr image is as responsible for the decline in sales as anything else? The only thing that makes me think MAYBE there won’t be layoffs is because it really would make Target look sooooo much worse... — read more 

In the past few weeks my boss has asked for several things that seem unusual: a certain document she could pass off to the EOM/Acceleration team cuz they are trying to understand certain things for “future state white papers” summaries of all... — read more 

I have a feeling that announcing layoffs then making us wait and not saying when is intentional. They're creating a stressful atmosphere where everybody is constantly worried and some might even decide to quit if it goes on for too long. Or maybe I'm... — read more 

With a few dates being thrown around - 10/20 and 10/28 - will we receive some sort of message/communication from Brian or Michael in the next few days explaining the "why" behind the cuts and the official numbers, or are they just going to let it... — read more 

Managers? Directors? Sr. Directors? VPs?

Should we try to use up PTO now before this potential October 28th date? What is everyone’s plan for their accrued PTO?

They’ve been doing small surgical cuts across teams for 1-2 years now. Mostly to move roles to India. Would they make cuts on those same teams again?

It’s all so hush-hush where I am, and that just makes me even more nervous.

Go into workday, under your profile somewhere there is a documents option. Find your old reviews (they go back as far as 2018),download them, and email them your home email. They’ll be invaluable for utilizing ChatGPT to help with your resume.

Does anyone have any idea what they will be doing with owned brands?

If any of you were around in 2015 (I think?) for the layoffs/merch transformation— what was it like? Was it devastating and terrible? Did morale plummet? I’m trying to brace myself for what’s to potentially come, and not just the mass layoff itself... — read more 

I worked at Target long enough to see how deep the mismanagement goes. Decisions made on impulse, no strategy, no accountability. It’s almost a miracle any stores are still running at all.

Jobs are scarce, and those that are available don't pay as much. I was worried about being laid off as is, but that's made me stress even more. I really hope the ones affected are those who actually have options and want out (and I know a few of... — read more 

Anyone else notice some of the people with the worst leadership reviews actually got moved up the food chain? These shareholders wonder why Target is going downhill lol. People in power decide who they like and just make the decisions based on that... — read more 

Is anyone hearing insights on “flattening” the redundant CTB CTV and GSP roles in particular WH (western hemisphere). Seems like other areas are flattening and going back to pre-merch like transformations. Others have said that Bills pyramid will not... — read more 

Do you know the rule? Cannot locate it anywhere?

Please share.

The better job you do, the faster you’re out the door? With special “consideration” for anyone 50+? Probably the usual cr-p. Makes you wonder why we even bother.

I appreciate people sharing what they’ve heard but this is all so vague I’m really struggling to understand how valid this is. Is it RTO for remote? Is it layoffs like in 2015? Has anyone actually been told anything or is this just phone tag at its... — read more 

I think the timing of the October announcement is telling. I think they are trying to insulate the stock price ahead of the Q3 earnings release.

I haven’t. And God knows what that means. Judging from the rumors, relocation offers seem to be just an easy, cost-free way to push people out in most cases. I mean, who would uproot their life for a job when job security is practically an ancient... — read more 

Remember a few years ago when things were actually going well? How did we get from that to this so fast? Leadership failing this badly should be studied in schools.

Anticipating layoffs for this long really does a number on your psyche. You can hate your job all you want, but most of us desperately need it right now. Have you seen the job market lately? Or the cost of everything going up? I’m extremely worried... — read more 

Talked to a Director today. They are requesting that directors are in the office on Mon & Tue (w/o 10/20). It's mandatory. Well know about layoffs after those meetings as I am sure it'll leak here (it did last time). It's so exausting to wait for... — read more 

I’m remote, and honestly terrified we’ll be among the first on the chopping block. If anyone has credible information, please share. There are so many rumors flying around - mass layoffs, HQ-only cuts, even a possible private equity acquisition. It’s... — read more 

I'm hearing that Katie was let go, any truth to this?

So what is everyone thinking after today's meeting?

Anyone hearing what areas might be impacted? So far planning and IM merging are the rumblings.

If they were to do layoffs would they be more likely to do them when we were actually physically present in the office?

What are people hearing about an upcoming announcement planned for late October?

Announced via internal email by the old boss. Wondering if this was a condition for the new bosses arrival? Any smart financial leader worth their salt would look at the billions in lost market share due to a crisis of their own making and realize... — read more 

Investors need to step in. Target spends millions on Target together and there’s no return on investment other than people who get pumped back full of kool aid so they can keep working for the big red machine. Stock is at 80 now and it’s deplorable... — read more

There's no way she's up there talking about how it really isn't that big of a deal to lose/depart a job within the first three minutes (after all the hugging). How tone deaf could this be??

I've heard there will be more layoffs soon, is there any way to know when? Somebody also mentioned some roles might be eliminated, is this true?

Hey folks! I got laid off in August with 21 other people, that I at least know of. Life Insurance guy just called to see if I want to continue the plan and he said I'm his 50th Target call today. What other areas is Target laying off from?
