Target to purchase CVS Front Store
Target will purchase Cvs front store and convert them to a Target Express! The Aetna deal with CVS just made the pie sweeter.
Corrective action
I have a question for any DC OM’s out there. It seems like there has been a lot of CA’s been handed out lately to TM’s. I’m just curious if something was directed from above to start handing them out for any little thing? I’ve also noticed a lot more... — read more

No rumors of imminent or future layoffs to report. Happy Holidays!
Anyone see what TGT did in Fergus Falls?
News media all over it. What great PR
Thoughts on Shipt deal?
Anybody thinks this Shipt deal will be a catalyst for more layoffs? The deal focuses on online ordering, which means that fewer people will be coming to the store thanks to this. Which, of course, will give those at the top some ideas. After all, you... — read more
Target, social warriors - Nah
If Target leadership really wanted to prove it cared about workers and society they would reinstate health insurance for part time workers and retirees, along with pension benefits. Instead they hide behind meaningless bathroom policies and diversity... — read more
BC should Declare TGT a Tech Company
BC and MM should ditch the retail label and embrace itself as a tech company, not a retailer. Focus only on retail tech innovations to sell merchandise and cloud. Boom.....instant love.
stupid leader's
most of the leaders/managers in Target are enjoying life.earning good/doing personal work at office/designing homes/clearing loans/working for other companies while in c2 buiding. what a company!!!! Best company for ever!!!! specially for... — read more
MNLARS feels like a TTS job....
The new MN license system... feels a lot like the quality of work TTS puts out. 10+ years of development, an end product that has endless glitches, and 100+ workarounds. All too familar. And at the end of the day it was better outsource to real... — read more
Prime time
BC, MM and team get another chance to showcase failed leadership beginning today at 6pm. As a former hIgh performer before layoffs, I'm so excited to watch them fail, again and again....
Brilliant CIO
I can remember the TTS standup like it was yesterday. Our CIO being asked about WMT acquisition of jet.com and him mocking the purchase price of $3B. Since that day WMT market cap up about $85B (40%) and TGT market cap down about $11B (-28%). He's a... — read more

Couseling out many employees
Target isn't going to do an official layoff. They are managing out many employees now to be able to hire college grads. Unless you're on the list, and you'd probably know by now, don't worry about it.
Anyone here notice how target is horrible for women?
I keep getting told by my boss I'm not nice, and we have a culture of nice. If I ask if I've hurt anyone or done something wrong, I get told it is not about doing, it's about the personality, that I'm aggressive and go getter and it offends others... — read more

Let's win by pretending Amazon doesn't exist
Yet more passive wait and see business strategy.... what is so hard about taking an industry lead? Bob Ulrich must be livid at how bad this company is being run. The current CEO should just admit the C level has no original ideas.
Brilliant. Another example of digital debacle. Sh--ty digital team cannot put out a visual search tool when AR was getting experimented a few years ago. Now you have ANOTHER MIDDLEMAN between you and the consumer. I thought this digital leadership is... — read more
Minimum wage increases
Former Target worker here - this isn't really big news. I started at $7.50 an hour back in 2011 and when I left last year the company minimum was $10. They effectively raised the company minimum every year. However, every time I got a company raise... — read more

HOUDINI
Are they taking away FMLA in California or any other states at Target?Will the houdini shows finally end.Maybe 13 reasons they want to get rid of it who knows.
TGT can't stop killing itself
Get ready for more layoffs at HQ! Announced lowering of everyday prices can't be good news for HQ employees...that cost has to be born somewhere, stores won't get cut.
Target Board of Directors has to go for any meaningful change!
They selected BC and have continued to support every poor business decision that clown has made. After almost 3 years of "transformation" we should be in a place to compete with amazon. Where are we instead? Putting a fresh coat of paint on stores... — read more

Wait.......WHAT (wtf) Tgt cuts ties with AWS
Are you kidding me. TGT still has ties with Amazon Web Services that need to be cut. How many people at Target have been laid off or minimized by Amazon's dominance and we still have a relationship that needs to be severed. God help us, we have... — read more

Microchips

Disturbing trend

Reverse discrimination
TTS's blatant push for gender diversification will make my case for reverse discrimination a no brainer. I see myself on a beach paid for by MM himself. Thank you so much Target!
