Share any updates you may have about Target layoffs? Any chatter, news or rumors?

Hearing a lot of or chatter about stores realignment, DSDs getting more stores

Curious if anyone has written a demand letter to Target after being let go to demand payment/severance. Obviously don’t want to go into litigation against Target…

Target tech and product is cooked. If fidelky thinks he’s going to get anything out his tech team, he’s stoned out of his mind. (I spelled his name wrong - it’s not worth the time spelling it right) This is the most reactionary/pedestrian group of... — read more 

Can someone walk me through how to get promoted at HQ? I have been here 4 years and can’t seem to figure out how to move up. Do you have to have a certain kind of personality?

Unions coming to the warehouses? Mess with our pay and we will fight back. This should be interesting.

I had heard months ago that the cadence of layoffs would be October and then January. Anyone have insights on the January layoffs? Maybe a quieter trim? I imagine it will be smaller. I don’t think we are “winning” the holiday.

Who still works at HQ and is actively looking for a new role outside of Target? Just hit the up arrow for yes and down arrow for no. Just curious on overall perception of Target right now.

I currently have a strong job offer outside of Target (roughly a 20% raise). I work in Supply Chain in HQ. I’m having a hard time deciding if I should just stick it out through this hard period or if I should leave. It’s with a well established... — read more 

Distribution centers, sortation center and Woodbury distribution were told that starting Jan 1st we are required to take the new law of an unpaid 30 minutes AND they cannot work longer or make up the time. Everyone is going to lose pay that puts... — read more 

How are we still trying to figure out how to do things other companies with fewer resources figured out years ago? I hear so many L7+ leaders from stores, supply chain, digital, etc. talk about things that are already close to irrelevance. I’ve... — read more 

What has anyone heard about supply chain field for layoffs? My site director said they are looking at getting rid of operations directors positions. There also seems to be too many operations managers positions.

I was part of the layoff in October, and I noticed today my position along with a couple others laid off on my team have been posted on Target’s career page. They made some slight adjustments but it is almost exactly the job I was laid off from. Has... — read more 

We know you are in here watching these threads, much like you sit and watch your minimally staffed teams struggle and break under workloads. If you have a shred of humanity in you, we are PEOPLE, not machines. While labor laws are pretty sh-t in... — read more 

Morale is worst I’ve ever seen, and I’ve lived through the data breach and Target Canada. I’m trying to think through what would change my attitude and I’ve got: Replace all senior leaders with competent, caring individuals that act and speak like... — read more 

My entire team was cut after more than a decade with the company, and the way it was handled was brutal. I watched teammates vanish from slack one by one before anyone bothered to contact me. The call did not come until late in the afternoon, after... — read more 

Something I’ve found deeply unprofessional is leaders openly discussing possible layoffs and the decline of Target culture with a hint of glee. As if they perhaps enjoyed spreading bad news to encourage lower level employees to flee the sinking ship... — read more 

They say they are going to change, but dear God in heaven when is one iota of change for the better going to happen? This is like the worst bad relationship your parents told you about. They say they are going to communicate more… they don’t. When... — read more 

We lost two people on our team who were solid in every way, reliable, hardworking, the kind you could trust with anything. Now the workload is barely manageable. And after seeing how the layoffs were handled, I have zero motivation to go above and... — read more 

Everyone here might want to check their hours submitted by HR for your holiday pay. If you did not receive a full 8 hours, it is because they changed how it is calculated, they now calculate your average hours worked over the last 8 weeks and... — read more 

This is not the first time Target has failed. Had they learned their lesson after failing to launch in Canada they would not be in this mess. They believe they can tell consumers what that need and want and that’s just not how it works. Value is... — read more 

WMT’s comparable sales up 4.5%, TJX comparable sales up 5%, TGT comparable sales down 2.7%. How is Fiddelke going to spin this?

Ever since the layoffs, it’s been crystal clear: Target doesn’t have the desire to do another formal RIF, so they’re trying to make the rest of us rage-quit instead. The new SVPs openly don’t trust any of the remaining VPs because they’re “holdovers... — read more 

Those earnings calls just dropped and… WHEW. If you thought things looked “meh” before, baby, we’re about to enter the Ugly Season™. ANOTHER round of LAYOFF is creeping up like a bad jump scare, so please — do NOT get too cozy in that ergonomic... — read more 

Target will be laying off 2,000 more employees due to the decline in store sales because they sell perverted GLBT themed merchandize and promote weird unnatural trans ideology.

They’re NOT choosing our uninspiring merchandising & they’re NOT choosing our prohibitively expensive prices. We 👏 aren’t 👏 competitive 👏. Just once I’d like to see an earnings call that goes “We missed the mark.” Instead of blaming our performance... — read more 

Is anyone else thinking of finding a better opportunity else where if your still at Target?

Now I actually feel relieved. I’m not even all that scared about what’s next. There was so much pressure and focus on just keeping the job that I forgot how unhappy I really was at Target. I know the grass may not be greener, and finding another job... — read more 

For those who have been laid off, my heart goes out to you. Has anyone used the services that Target has provided after the layoff? I got a call from RightManagement for resume and future career support. Is this a scam or actually legit?

Where would you chronic whiners ever find your next job if Targets did.

Been a faithful team member for 22 years and married to a corporate employee for 20 years. 800 to 1,000 ETLs will be layed off in February. The attrition will be focused in the GM areas, and the Senior Food and Beverage ETL role will be eliminated... — read more 

Target perfectly fits the description of a company experiencing culture rot. Bad leaders that are more interested in promoting their own careers than they are developing teams. A working environment that feels competitive, not collaborative... — read more 

Today was the first day I went to my Target store after the layoff. It was weird. All that proud and belonging feeling vanished. I quickly went in and out, grabbed a few items and left.... How are you all feeling? Honestly I don't thing I will... — read more

The cuts were probably done to fund the sales they are having this year for Early Black Friday deals to draw traffic back into stores

If you’ve been at Target long enough, you already know the script. Every quarter, leadership throws around the phrase “Talent Management.” Translation: time to trim the herd. They’ll call it “attrition.” Some whisper “quiet layoffs.” But the... — read more
