Even if you’re one of the best, even if you know this place inside out, you’re not safe. These layoffs aren’t about performance. It’s just about saving money, and that means cutting the higher earners, even if they’re the ones keeping things running... — read more 

What happens if I’m on PTO the day they do layoffs? Will they call me on my personal phone, or wait until I’m back in office the next week?

I’m really worried about my job. This is not a good time to end up in a precarious situation.

Anyone have any ideas what departments will be hit?

The day before I left Target, leaders were discussing if they should “update” the slides for her (the company needs a real supply chain officer that understands basic supply chain concepts) Nice should not be the primary qualification. Just like her... — read more 

I’m literally standing in the store wondering if I should stock up on essentials so I can keep feeding my household if I get laid off.

I’ve been planning my exit for a while now. Took a few certs, kept my resume fresh, and stopped overdoing it. I’m just here until something better opens up. Severance would just be a bonus.

Are they going to be cruel enough to stretch this out into the holidays? I haven't been here long enough to know, but has Target ever had layoffs close to Thanksgiving or Christmas?

Incoming CEO says effective immediately, I’m taking over, current CEO is no longer ceo, current CEO will also not be chairman of board and 10% layoffs across L7+. If the company needs immediate restructuring, it has to come from very top. Michael... — read more 

Is it at all possible the rumors are wrong? Target still has openings listed on indeed. We’ve heard nothinb(not that we would before they wanted us to). Is it at all possible? I still don’t think they are going to want even more bad pr. Or am I just... — read more 

Nothing yet filed for Target for 2025 - https://mn.gov/deed/programs-services/dislocated-worker/dislocated-worker/news/ Don;t know if this is the "official" place to see these, but this is what I've used before.

Do they cap it? Let's say someone worked here 40 years?

They could’ve at least given us some kind of heads-up. I’m afraid nobody can really consider themselves safe right now.

Do they only confirm dates of employment and titles/salaries or has anyone known of an instance where they shared more (like reason for termination)? Thanks!

Anyone with experience relating to this? Who makes the final call? Who puts the names on the list?

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

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.
