Just got a call from my director today and have 30 days to decide if I am moving to Minneapolis - 90 days to move if I accept but will be let go if I don't
Burnt to a crisp
Is anyone else burning out, or is it just me? I get it, we have to move fast to turn business around and remain competitive. I just can’t keep leading initiatives with impossible expectations. I’ve always been a high performer, but lately I feel like... — read more
Is everyone getting cr-ppy raises or just me?
Most glowing review yet, but smallest increase I’ve ever had in my 15 years here. Is this a reflection of the budget overall or is this a personal issue?
Owned Brands
Jenny Breeden and Bill Foudy are out. What are they doing with owned brands?
Anyone else coming in 3 days per week or hinting
Is anyone getting approved to work remotely in Target Tech?
External Job Postings
How is Target hiring hundreds of external non guest facing roles after the reduction last year?
When will they learn?
Target leadership need to realize as a publicly traded company they are continuing to harm their external stakeholders and investors despite the changes that perceive will fix the issues... — read more
Does STI have a confirmed payout date yet?
Last year is my only point of reference, so I’m not sure what the norm is. Can anyone confirm? I’m trying to recall if we received a Q4 % to goal email yet where that payout detail may have been shared but honestly can’t even remember the usual... — read more
I'm deciding to believe layoffs are over
Thinking about layoffs 24/7 is no way to live. Especially since I can change nothing. So I'm going to act as if layoffs are done, and save myself some stressing.

Which gscl positions?
Can anyone share which supply chain roles are being eliminated? Are roles in FCs being affected too?
So sorry for everyone impacted
Here's an idea: why not overhaul the leadership? Every bad decision has come from the top. That might actually save the company.
Is anybody surprised by this?
Target’s latest bid to win back shoppers is leaving customers and workers deeply uncomfortable. The retail giant rolled out a new in-store rule late last year requiring employees to smile, wave and greet customers based on how close they are... — read more
Any updates on the February rumor?
Many are talking about potential February layoffs. Does anyone have solid intel, or are we all just anxiously guessing? I wish we knew one way or the other so we could prepare.
The predictable first move
Watch, the first major move from the new boss will be another round of layoffs. It's the classic move to prove you're serious about costs to the investors. We should all brace ourselves because it's coming soon.
Target's new CEO is thrown into crisis mode on day one
Michael Fiddelke, who started at Target as a finance intern, takes over the top job at the retailer on Sunday. He must deal with declining sales and civil unrest in Minneapolis, the city where Target is based. The company's outgoing CEO will... — read more
RTO??
Just read that Home Depot did a layoff and had an RTO of 5 days a week.......do we think Fiddelke will announce an RTO? I could see it happening as a way to continue eliminating roles rather than doing mass layoffs????
Time to plan an exit
I like my actual work, but the company's direction is undeniably bad. I think it's time to accept that Target is failing and seriously start looking for a new job before it's too late.

TES Cascading Meetings this Morning
Hearing there are org change meetings today. Surprised that no org changes have been announced when new CEO “officially” starts on Feb 1. Walmart is running laps around Target and they just announced a huge c-suite change last week. Target has a lot... — read more

How do I go far at Target?
I really want to be a VP or SVP. I’m currently an L5 and just started a couple months ago. People are telling me to do a lot of GTKYs and that it can get pretty political. Is this true? Any advice?
Entitlement
Target really doesn’t owe us anything. At the end of the day we work for Target and they allow us to. It’s a blessing to have a job. There is so much entitlement and it’s wild. If you don’t like how target is running their business don’t work for... — read more
Silence is Violence
Yet again, the Briefly focuses on AI and continues to ignore what’s happening right now. It’s becoming truly concerning. Also, Melissa Kramer’s message only go to Minneapolis-based TMs? This is serious news with major media coverage, and it should’ve... — read more
Just an FYI
Raises don’t save you from layoffs. I got a raise a few months before getting laid off and I was certain I was safe because of it. I mean, they gave me a nice raise, that must mean they value me as an employee and will make sure to keep me, right?... — read more
Isn’t it obvious?
There’s been an outcry in various forums for Target leaders to release statements against the recent events in Minneapolis. I’m confident that won’t happen. If it does, it likely won’t be the response many of us are looking for. If you haven’t... — read more
