Has anyone noticed that, along with legitimate Target team members, this website is full of ass-trolls who love to dump bullshit on those of us who come here to chat/vent/find out the latest news? Cowards who cause anguish, worry, and anger, and who... — read more
Any rumors on moves to TNC? Look at the interesting article on the sale of our lease holders of the CC building.
I was searching for when the CC lease expires, as I have heard a few other companies are looking to move out from the building and found this article... — read more
RTO
Can someone explain who is entitled to RTO. Work in non-exempt dept where we were unaware of this. Any unplanned time is counted as absent and mgmt dings you. Thanks for any insight.
The following receives this message "You All" Sorry, Target Family(Team) Members I need to do that
Shouldn't be I doing that to make Target the best company ever? Yeah, It is June first week. Get your bags ready
June 2nd Layoff
Hearing very strong rumors for June 2nd. Private meetings on all VPs. Looks like we are only worried about wall street and no growth or stability for the company we built.
Merchandising Cuts
Merchandising has been asked to cut 30 % in June. The Leaders have been asked to identify critical business needs and match skills to those needs. Team members skills matching those needs will fill those positions, all others will be terminated.

City Center Conference Room Taken Offline
I just received notice that one of the big (20 seat) conference rooms in City Center is being taken offline from June 5th to July 12th. I know it doesn't line up with the dates that are being rumored on this site, but just thought I'd throw this out... — read more
Target India - 6/3
The day is near, PD is coming to kick some ass.
Contractors getting hit also
I worked at the CSC as a contractor, hoping for a permanent position. A number of us are being let go as well. My group and the group before us are getting slimmed down.. We were told just a couple weeks ago our positions were safe from the cuts as... — read more
I've been told early June, too....
My director, who was spot-on through our last round of lay-off's, has advised me pretty much what is being reported here. He said first week of June and that it will be about as painful as last time. What a leader Brian is. Cut, cut, cut. He has done... — read more
June 2 Layoffs
Any updates on June 2nd layoffs?
They lay people off and then bring interns in?
Wow really?
Distribution Center lay offs?
Hi, I'm curious if anyone has heard of any layoffs coming for the DC's? Barely any of the lay offs so far have hit the DC's which tells me maybe we're next. There seems to be a weird vibe around there lately.
TI Layoffs coming Soon
Rumor - Layoffs impacting BI teams in month of June - Anyone hear the same rumors ? most contractors are gone - now rumors 50% of entire BI impacted...
Inpats are so screwed
So, while Target is trying to cut down on Inpat expense, even if there's an urgent requirement on a team in Minneapolis with funding provided, the Target India leadership is refusing all assignments/extensions. This is such a sneaky strategy to get... — read more
SILENCE
Brian must be a genious, what great results.
Severance payout - one check or bi-weekly
If you are laid off and get severance, does anyone know how it is paid out and do you have a choice in the matter? Is it one lump sum or bi-weekly?
Patience
Don't expect magic. I will probably slice and dice the organization in a way the people who's "got what it takes" will feel energized and engaged for the long run, and the people who think the workplace is a country club will leave on their own... — read more
Relax
Relax folks. I will be there soon. Me and my team built systems using which TESCO cooked financial books. We will do some other strategic, LRP, Agile strategic initiatives to take Target to next level.
Anyone have visibility/info on the promotion delays/decisions?
Most of us (TTS) had their promotions delayed when they didn't happen at annual review time. Now all of a sudden some (but not all) people are getting promoted. Mostly engineers are getting promos when other job families are getting the shaft. Is... — read more
Layoffs and Promos
It happens only at Target - layoffs and promos taking place simultaneously! Lower level jobs shelved off and in position promos for KMG+ leaders ....
Heard from a Director that next Round of layoffs coming in 1st Week of June,
Next round of layoffs are around the corner. This time KMG & DMG inputs are also taken. My director told me that this will be more brutal than last layoff. Keep eyes and ears open friends
TCI sold off. What's next, Printing Services? http://www.targetcommercialinteriors.com/blog/target-sells-target-commercial-interiors/
Serious question. If Target outsources the food service, computer installs/maintenance, and now TCI is gone . . . . why would they keep hundreds of people on the payroll in the printing & shipping business?
C-suite, insider trades of stock
Check out the insider stock trades of the C-suite the last few months if you want to know how they feel about transformation.
2 week's notice?
Does anyone know the rules around giving 2 weeks notice? Is it required, or just a courtesy? I am looking at leaving Target, but I also know my area is going to be re-orged in the very near future, and I really want to get the layoff and severance... — read more
That's it, I quit! This new admin supporting multiple execs is for the birds!
What in the world???!! It has become a circus in my pyramid!!! The leadership all of the sudden are having a hard time helping to prioritize! The teams still think I'm responsible in the same manner as in the old support structure. I literally cannot... — read more
Brian MIA
Anyone else noticed that Brian has been completely missing from corporate communication to team since his disastrous lecture about the layoffs. Is he that thin skinned?
I suddenly wish I had been one of the admins laid off in this last tound
My workload was unmanageable before, I barely had time for lunch. Now, it's unmanageable. Stupid executive team.
Store Planning
how has store planning lasted so long with so little impact from the layoffs? They should have been gutted with architecture and engineering back in October. This group was able to bring in three contractors on the same day we lost 1700 people... — read more
TTS Hijack: Target The Layoff
It's pretty clear that in general the TTS > TGT community is a little disgruntled and clearly paranoid as hell with all the comments here. I guess the good news is that there's not much noise outside of TTS here, the bad news is just how snarky and... — read more
