As someone that is impacted, Layoffs are a result of a failure of management to achieve their designed business plan/goals. Mine had more to do with my compensation than performance. Going forward I will understand the business plan and strategy... — read more 

We lost a couple of great teammates. Neither makes any sense if they were going based on performance, so I guess for once the leadership didn't lie. This was all about numbers.

“Today is a moment to move forward” “Lean on one another for support” “Let’s move forward” “as we step ahead together” “remove complexity” “Thank you for all you will bring to Target’s next chapter” “remove barriers” “move forward with... — read more 

He’s still our CEO, is he not? If he’s not still acting as CEO until February then what are we paying him for?

They were the driving force who made such a mess of target. How is this group helping us generate more revenue? Do minorities even care? Why are white women leading this group?

Can the laid off employee “convert”/ buy the same coverage directly from insurance company that Target was using? Has anyone done this in previous layoffs? The advantage would be no medical test or other hassles and a plan that should be reasonable

Newer people to the corporate world might not know this, but often times a company will ask you to sign a document to get any sort of severance that releases the company from any liability, blah blah blah. Has anyone laid off been asked to do... — read more 

I have some partners asking to cancel meetings this week given today's new while some are actively asking for deliverables. I don't know how to react. While I would love to cancel meetings I'm worried what the other partners asking for deliverables... — read more 

it always seems like the first thing to go in a mass layoff like this.

Michael is the visionary we need to take TGT to the next level 10x. Trust that I put all my eggs in him taking Target to the next level of our growth. If you don’t think this please resign now as mediocrity is not acceptable.

They firing us !!!!!

Is this accurate for Tech? Also, what about other groups? TLP: Associate Engineer L4: Software Engineer L5: Senior Software Engineer L6: Lead Engineer L7: Principal Engineer L8: Distinguished Engineer

For those of us who worked at Target long enough to have a pension account, how is that handled? How do we access those funds?

Some of y’all are really playing with fire. Sometimes silence is golden, quite a few people have posted themselves out of a job today, don’t become one of them.

I made a shirt that says “Target Laid My Husband Off” and a bandanna that says “Target Laid My Dad Off” for my dog (we don’t have kids). Maybe you could do the same? It’s despicable that so many people are facing hardship as a result of poor... — read more 

Will the layoffs have any affect for the annual bonuses the rest of us still in the company get next year?

I was cut back in 2015, I've seen posts on LinkedIn and it did triger a bit of PTSD. I am so sorry you have to go through this again but... life after Target has been a breath of fresh air for me. Ended up in a small company where I feel wanted... — read more 

I am not acusing target of Age Discrimination but want to see what other folks think about this. Based on what we know so far, do you think that age played any role in the layoff selection process? My group was completely spared but being 59 this is... — read more 

This is my first time witnessing a layoff. I recently graduated college and just joined the job market lol. I was lucky and got to keep my job but I’m having a very hard time getting back to work and “prepping for peak”. Do we really just have to go... — read more 

What the he-l happened?

There are a few Target VPs already posting on LinkedIn that they have new roles at other companies. They knew before us. Not only that, they knew like 60 days ago because they are already working at the new company. Probably got professional... — read more 

Do we know if there were cuts there?

Is this a real simplification and an efficiency measure? Maybe? But it may as well be cover for offshoring to TII + Contractors. I do have tendency to be paranoid tho.

so far so good today. but... are we just left for latter and will there be a massive cut within these groups as well? i kind of have a feeling that we have been sloted for a later cut but i am basing this only on my personal gut feeling and i do not... — read more 

Does the WARN filing mean 528 at HQ plus 287 at TNC????? Or are remote and global roles missing? I think TII would not be covered by the WARN notice as this is US only? Am I wrong here? What's the actual number???

Did Directors and L7s take the brunt, or were L5 to L6 ICs hit just as hard across digital and merch?

Any word on how the call centers faired?

I understand this is just the first Round and there is more in process in the next 3-9 months. Continue with the back-up plan

It was shared internally then deleted mysteriously. Pls post the link/info. (For non TMs disregard it’s to an internal list). Super helpful for reaching out to folks for support as opposed to guessing and calendar stalking.

Can we get food stamps right away or do we have to wait after we get our severance and 60 day pay and benefits? I got lots of bills and little ones to feed

I just saw some discord link and public slack link thread got deleted.

I swear, if anyone still needed proof of how incompetent this leadership is, we just got it loud and clear.

To those impacted, are you done today or do you have to knowledge transfer? I had to do KT throughout my entire 2 month stay.

I get the emails. ~528 for HQ, ~287 for TNC. Assuming this does not include Remote The State Rapid Response Team (SRRT) received a Federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, 29 U.S.C. § 2101 et seq. ("WARN") letter from Target... — read more 

Anyone know if the roles company wide were cut?

There's a list of US people impacted, does anyone know of a list for global employees? #yelling says there are people in TII who were laid off so I was hoping there'd be a list of global employees impacted. Or does anyone know names of specific TII... — read more 

Now that the communication is out, looks likely that the people impacted is more than 1k, heard from 3 different people from Target India that they have 200 plus people impacted and with 900+ people on the 9AM call, we may have more than the 1k... — read more
