Titles and positions given to people with little to no experience to lead anything!!! Most are time and resource wasters! Target is getting rid of good employees but keeping people that NEVER should have been given their current positions! And now... — read more
It's August - now what??
For those still with Target - you've made it this far...still lots of rumors circling in the vents - TNC days are numbered and more will be gone by the end of 2015; wonder what kind of damage control will need to be done? Merchants - is it necessary... — read more
It's not the number of leaders or levels of leaders that is the problem at target....
But the crap leaders that have been put in place. The optimum number of direct reports is around 5-7. That requires a lot of leaders. Guaranteed that all these individual contributors at Target....could not decide what to do, they all have different... — read more

Any news on depts OTHER than TTS
Seems like the only intel lately has been about TTS. Anyone know about happenings in the other departments? Merch? PD&D?
Invest your sslary early and often.....

HMD, need you
We need leaders like HMD back here!
1st time in my long career
I have worked for several companies and Target in several roles. All of them had challenges to overcome, but the current leadership at Target is the most toxic and incompetent I have ever experienced. The shareholders may be short term satisfied bur... — read more
Maybe Target DevOps isn't all it's says it is?
I am looking to join one of the many teams claiming DevOps at TTS. Looking at some recent previous posts, it appears everyone is not impressed with how it's doing. Calling it DevOOps and poking fun of the culture of MacBooks, stickers, and t-shirts... — read more
Who are your real friends at Target?
A lot of women did not buy the FFF, either, like me (the original poster). I really wanted to work, not go outside and play horseshoes as a "team building" activity. I wasn't a crabass about it, I had fun (hey, it was summer and they were paying me)... — read more
All TTS KMG's will be let go
Is it true that all the team members in the PG21 /PG 23 level in TTS (KMG level) will be let go in the next round of layoffs?
More than 75% of TTS to be let go?
Coworker was in an all-dotcom mtg yesterday. New CIO showed up and said he ran a much more complicated operation with just 500 people. Doesn't TTS have at least 2000 right now?
Bystanders will not be untouched, as TTS goes, so goes many in HQ
My work depends on the approval and funding of projects that must be supported by TTS . If TTS is cutting headcount, obviously they must be scaling back plans to support projects and initiatives of their clients. If the people in TTS who generally... — read more
Listening to TTS leaders explain how they see new orgs and strategy......
Is like fingernails on a chalkboard. They are clueless and it is painfully obvious.
Selling TCW
Hearing that Target HQ West Campus may be in the process of being sold. Team Members would be moved to TNC and downtown.
More TTS VPs gone
Lost two more VPS today :-( (fake sadness). Does anyone in the C-suite know how to evaluate talent? Derodes promoted these clowns to VP after he fired all their predecessors. Now half of those VPS are gone at MM's hands. The other half are crapping... — read more

A Day in the Life
So I was GTKY-ing with one of my future former senior leaders right outside the StarBucks in bldg E, you know where barista Beth works, and at the time before the Noah first floor flood. We were discussing how we could rock the expense by printing up... — read more
Recent survey for TTS non technical people
Recently all non technical people in TTS (BA + PM + SPM + DM +SDM) took survey. By looking at the questions, I am not sure whether any of our non technical people will match with the new roles (especially for SPM and SDM and also for BA who moved to... — read more
RFP for data center?
Heard from a good source that responses for an RFP were due to Target this week regarding the outsourcing of the data center currently at TNC.

Everything wrong with Target Operating Principles.
So there is a movement afoot on insidetgt to identify and then vote on practices that are painful to team members and maybe a waste of time. Sad thing is that as usual instead of identifying the process with the most savings associated with cutting... — read more
Target DEVOPS Layoffs
Anyone has more detail - I hear rumors but cannot confirm anything.
Devops presenting in meetings
At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points and my god have mercy on your soul.
Post it notes = transformation
I've been unfairly critical of Briann, it seems we've been transforming after all! Based on the clowns I see on inside tgt... Post it notes and zombie stickers are transformation! I'm glad we have such a tangible measurement of transformation!... — read more
