To the person who was on their phone discussing the potential morning layoff while grocery shopping yesterday, I hope you made it through. sincerely, peanut butter sl-t

Good morning, Thank you for joining today's webinar, and I sincerely apologize for the technical difficulties. This email will summarize the takeaway that's specific to you. As I shared in the webinar, we have been doing work across the company to... — read more 

I just got laid off at Target and my wife who works at Amazon as well whom is currently pregnant. Speaking to my future self get out of retail it’s too risky to have job in this industry. It's not like before. Just as a token of advice for those... — read more 

I made it through, but from here on out, all my focus is on finding a new job. I’m done with Target. There were some good years, but this isn’t the company I joined ten years ago.

Can I just start by saying, what a complete sh-t show these last few days have been? They made us employees wait for days, ruin our mental health, and provide no information at all at how this would unfold. Then hearing of this absolutely... — read more 

Why shed all that knowledge and let go of those who knew every nook and cranny of their area? Just to replace them with cheaper offshore labor that can’t possibly bring the same level of involvement or deep understanding of the organization and its... — read more 

Can we have at least one damn day to relax and take in the fact that we survived instead of having people already talking about future rounds? Are some of you masochists? Are you addicted to drama? What is your problem? The layoffs are over. It’s... — read more 

Just got an invite this afternoon to meet with my one other coworker (We’re L5), the SVP of our area and then our boss’ boss. No agenda, no details. Meeting is private. Seems really strange and now I’m stressed out again.

Decided to not even bother to join the meeting, how was F&B impacted overall?

Anyone who was let go willing to share what the severance package ended up being?

My husband was just laid off. He's technically in the Tech space so looks like no sector is safe. He wasn't an engineer btw.

Yes, we can catch our breath for now, but this is only the beginning. If you think you’re safe, think again. All signs point to layoffs becoming the new normal. I wish it weren’t like this, but ignoring it won’t help anyone.

Anyone know what merch org changes are happening?

Everything else has been a mess, from the announcement and the buildup, to the awful communication from leadership right up to the last minute. I dread whatever comes next. I really feel for those affected today, especially anyone in a tougher spot... — read more 

Just wanted to chime in as one of your corporate neighbors in Minneapolis. This is awful and we are thinking of all of you. Curious if the comp package of your ceo and executive team will change—this is their mismanagement. Hang in there, our team... — read more 

I was hoping for a different outcome than most of us here and must say.. I am completely disappointed to have received a safe email. I honestly wish I could take the spot of one of you who has invested way more into this. Anywho.. my prayers are with... — read more 

Even knowing it's over? I still can't get rid of this knot in my stomach.

Were they targeting older employees or is it more evenly distributed?

Team, Today is a difficult day for all of us at Target. Earlier this morning, I shared with team members whose roles are being eliminated that today is their last day of work. For the group receiving this email, you and your role remain at the... — read more 

This is the easy cut, the next phase will be in tech. Target plans to outsource all of tech, engineering, and security, what does not get moved to India will be outsourced to a contract here in the US. So this is just the start, pretty much everyone... — read more 

If we didn't get an invite for the meeting, does that mean we're safe?

Is there 1000ish people in this 9am meeting? Could there be a round 2 today? Still dead silent over where I am.

Let’s try to keep a list in one place. Based on what people have shared so far, it might actually be easier to point out which orgs seem safe. It’s looking really bad. I’m so sorry we all have to go through this.

Tell these id--ts there’s no sound in the meeting. Seriously, what an awful company.

how are these areas not impacted?

I see 9am blocked off on a L7 and L8 I think, not sure though 😢 Everyone is in my prayers!!

Curious if anyone knows what’s going on with finance?

They are laying off tons of Cyber Security employees at the moment

feels like it

I have been praying for myself and everyone else. Even if I survive this layoff I know others will not and it saddens me. What a horrible way to do a layoff, we find out Thursday and have to go all the way to Tuesday to find out, it has been a... — read more 

how long do we have to wait? meeting invites shouldn’t come after 8 right?

apparently there will be multiple going out. So hang in there if you get one in another wave it may just be a reorg. But I think the first wave is the 9-915 meeting, strong possibility that’s a lay off and anything later may be something else

From a spouse of a Target employee. I've been following this site for the last 5 days and this whole process is an absolute sh-t show. I'm sorry to every employee that works there and has had to play this game.

Got the layoff email from Melissa - 9am ct today.
