Around 55,469 this morning at 9 and slowly decreasing a few dozen :(

Say a mass layoff happens next week like it did back in 2015. Will the meetings where they break the news to people be over Zoom? Will there be a room option and a Zoom option tied to the meeting. I’m just trying to picture how this will all work... — read more 

Hard work won’t save any of us from being laid off. So take it easy, at least until this round is over. Or better yet, always. It’s not like being reliable and dedicated has ever really paid off anyway.

Given the mix of signals: yes, there is a non‐trivial chance something will happen (at least in some business units). No, the rumor of an across-the-board, massive layoff next Tuesday is not firmly substantiated. It’s best treated as a... — read more 

I know people who were laid off from other companies more than six months ago who are still looking for a job. Is the money that will be given to laid off employees really going to be enough to cover such long periods of unemployment? And on that... — read more 

I really wish they’d just tell us what’s going to happen and when. We’re working ourselves into a frenzy here. Jobs are scarce, bills are high, and being laid off in times like this is pure panic fuel. It would be nice if they at least handled this... — read more 

Trying to figure out what to do and what to focus on. Thank you.

Also, it's state specific

So layoffs will be next week now? I had heard it was going to be this week, probably Tuesday. I just want this nightmare to be over.

Hey Y’all. Recently laid off employee here. I would recommend hopping on LinkedIn and connecting with as many people as you can. I’m in a job program and they weren’t happy with my 89 connections, they wanted me to have more. Even if all you Target... — read more 

Will it all happen this week or next week? Do they do them all in a day? This su-ks

I go on maternity leave in 6 weeks. If I’m laid off, can I negotiate my severance pay to cover the full maternity leave. The leave is already filled with Target. Are there any other protections I can ask for/negotiate on?

What time would they send the meeting invite out by on the day of the layoff? I heard the mtg will be at 8:30 but what time will we see the actual meeting come through to our calendars

I know someone who’d take the severance in a heartbeat. Letting them go could save the job of someone who really needs it. Makes zero sense.

Anyone know anting about Finance?

Even if you’re one of the best, even if you know this place inside out, you’re not safe. These layoffs aren’t about performance. It’s just about saving money, and that means cutting the higher earners, even if they’re the ones keeping things running... — read more 

What happens if I’m on PTO the day they do layoffs? Will they call me on my personal phone, or wait until I’m back in office the next week?

I’m really worried about my job. This is not a good time to end up in a precarious situation.

Anyone have any ideas what departments will be hit?

The day before I left Target, leaders were discussing if they should “update” the slides for her (the company needs a real supply chain officer that understands basic supply chain concepts) Nice should not be the primary qualification. Just like her... — read more 

I’m literally standing in the store wondering if I should stock up on essentials so I can keep feeding my household if I get laid off.

I’ve been planning my exit for a while now. Took a few certs, kept my resume fresh, and stopped overdoing it. I’m just here until something better opens up. Severance would just be a bonus.

Are they going to be cruel enough to stretch this out into the holidays? I haven't been here long enough to know, but has Target ever had layoffs close to Thanksgiving or Christmas?

Incoming CEO says effective immediately, I’m taking over, current CEO is no longer ceo, current CEO will also not be chairman of board and 10% layoffs across L7+. If the company needs immediate restructuring, it has to come from very top. Michael... — read more 

Is it at all possible the rumors are wrong? Target still has openings listed on indeed. We’ve heard nothinb(not that we would before they wanted us to). Is it at all possible? I still don’t think they are going to want even more bad pr. Or am I just... — read more 

Nothing yet filed for Target for 2025 - https://mn.gov/deed/programs-services/dislocated-worker/dislocated-worker/news/ Don;t know if this is the "official" place to see these, but this is what I've used before.

Do they cap it? Let's say someone worked here 40 years?

They could’ve at least given us some kind of heads-up. I’m afraid nobody can really consider themselves safe right now.

Do they only confirm dates of employment and titles/salaries or has anyone known of an instance where they shared more (like reason for termination)? Thanks!

Anyone with experience relating to this? Who makes the final call? Who puts the names on the list?

Does anyone else feel like targets identity crisis and pr image is as responsible for the decline in sales as anything else? The only thing that makes me think MAYBE there won’t be layoffs is because it really would make Target look sooooo much worse... — read more 

In the past few weeks my boss has asked for several things that seem unusual: a certain document she could pass off to the EOM/Acceleration team cuz they are trying to understand certain things for “future state white papers” summaries of all... — read more 

I have a feeling that announcing layoffs then making us wait and not saying when is intentional. They're creating a stressful atmosphere where everybody is constantly worried and some might even decide to quit if it goes on for too long. Or maybe I'm... — read more 

With a few dates being thrown around - 10/20 and 10/28 - will we receive some sort of message/communication from Brian or Michael in the next few days explaining the "why" behind the cuts and the official numbers, or are they just going to let it... — read more 

Managers? Directors? Sr. Directors? VPs?

Should we try to use up PTO now before this potential October 28th date? What is everyone’s plan for their accrued PTO?

They’ve been doing small surgical cuts across teams for 1-2 years now. Mostly to move roles to India. Would they make cuts on those same teams again?
