And Target has a front-row seat to the whole mess. Part-time hours, no benefits, and pay that’s starting to fall behind some fast food chains. If you’re still here, the smart move is to start planning your exit now.

Anyone else hearing the results of this year’s Best Team Survey are bleak? My manager alluded to it and was seemingly surprised. How can that come as a shock? Spoiler Alert: Target is not the retailer it was even 6 months ago.

Will return to office be the cudgel Target uses to cull its workforce before they resort to layoffs?

Should we be looking for employment elsewhere?

We are next. I am not talking about small here-and-there cuts. I am talking about a major round coming our way, guaranteed. Between the ongoing boycott and the tariffs, we are in serious trouble.

The Layoff Planning Office, I mean Enterprise Acceleration Office is announced. Will be interesting how fast they accelerate the changes.

Pushed or jumped?

Getting super nervous here at the office. Everyone wondering if this is the core week the axe falls. We know there have been surgical layoffs during each core week so far (well because it’s quarter end, not because it is core week). It feels that the... — read more 

When will Brian Cornell be forced to retire from Target? Or is he even still forced to retire?

Why is Cornell still CEO? Who in their right mind says “it’s grow time!” on stage and the company shrinks in stock value by half over the next two years? The lack of accountability is mind-blowing. We’re back to the 2012 phase of having two... — read more 

Can you share which area you are in and how many days a week you are asked to be in person?

Maybe I am getting disheartened but quarter after quarter missing the mark, watching Amazon and Walmart whether the last few years well, seeing Amazon and Walmart smash earnings and stock keep going up... then we have us, stock well below pre-COVID... — read more 

How many are aware of TGT donating a million dollars to the Trump inaugural fund?? https://www.bizjournals.com/twincities/news/2025/04/25/target-trump-vance-inauguration-contribution.html?ana=e_MN_BN&j=39586361&senddate=2025-04-25

Does any team go to conferences anymore or have any investment in your learning? Any ways you’re keeping up with the industry at all? My team used to do 1-2 conferences a year and it really helped us keep up with the industry. That stopped with... — read more 

and if they do, do they care ? (target tech)

Good people are leaving Target in droves. The culture is toxic. The way they are treating people is astonishing. Make sure you're looking out for yourself!

I have been hearing that some locations have already started firing people. Not laying off, firing - as in, showing them the door without severance or warning. Is this actually happening? We have not lost anyone here yet, but I would not be surprised... — read more 

Would love to know if other HQ pyramids are being impacted ? Worked remote for target in design for almost 3 years and all remote team members within our pyramid were called into a meeting last week and told we have 1 month to decide to move to... — read more 

Heard some layoffs in marketing happened today with more to come….

An apology from Target’s leaders is long overdue. For the Pride merch rollback, cancelling of DEI programs, and falling store standards and closures. For low morale, inequitable pay, and lack of respect for the things that made Target... — read more 

Sales are in the toilet. It feels like nobody’s spending a dime here these days. I don't care about the reason, I'm just getting real tired of watching the numbers drop week after week.

Despite higher-than-expected Q4 results, TGT stock is still dropping. We just can’t seem to right the ship. What are your thoughts on what’s next for Target?

What is everyone hearing about Target’s 2024 results and how might that affect layoffs? Walmart had good results but has said they expect a rocky road for 2025.

So it’s been 20 years of jobs making their way to India and the tide just keeps rolling that way. TES just announced new initiatives for Store Operations in India. Seems counterintuitive since very few of Target India’s employees have ever been in... — read more 

Now that we’re officially in the new fiscal year, any thoughts on when we’ll hear about leadership changes and potential layoffs?

Hearing more talk about the cuts after the board gets ride of Cornell.

I saw the post from another asking if target will survive and the reality is import tariffs will greatly impact companies that rely heavily on import and don’t have the overhead or margin for significant losses. Amazon might hurt but they have a... — read more

If Q4 or Q1 does not produce expected positive results, we will all be back in office 3 days a week.

If you get laid off does Target pay out your LTI? Or do you forfeit anything that's unvested?

The writing is on the walls and the ongoing Target India conversations continue to grow. If you have sick time or vacation time, USE IT since it will be forfeited once Target India takes over. Best of luck on your career at Target.

Half the BISOs and a handful of other software teams. Given 60 days notice. Additional openings in India under TII

Post any information about potential or actual Target layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Pretty sure my team is in line to have our jobs eliminated. What kind of severance can we expect? How many weeks do they pay out per year of service?

Was the recent reorganization under Gemma Kubat just the first step in a plan that will eventually see more jobs move to India?
