More Transformation

With the upcoming re-stack at Northern Campus, also means shuffling to prepare for another Mighty March Layoff - there's still a lot of "trash" workers - those who gossip, those who eavesdrop and those who repeat "confidential" information. Just... — read more

The problem with Target HQ today

So we are going through this supposed transformation and layoffs so that those left will be accountable to "their" new work requirements. So why is it my boss and others in his position are passing their "new" expectations down to me and my peers. I... — read more

I love working for Target!

I do nothing all day and get paid an enormous sum. No one even knows or cares. If only I could figure how to get paid for two jobs at Target. I'm working on it.

Your performance reviews and scores are screwed...

Everyone is confused with change in job family etc.... No guidelines for review or score...HR has no clue...and management is pushing for low scores... Hmmmm...take bonus if you get and then get out if you can....has replaced the goal.

Really the Right hand knows what the left hand is doing

HQ teams get the email with a link to download an app the will calculated the wasted time we spend in meetings, OK, then within 1 day we get flooded with internal ENGINEERING WEEK EVENTS. Wonder how many engineers are using that APP???

Two years ago today Target laid off 30% of my team

Or maybe it was Wednesday but I'm sure it was two years this week. I still miss my co-workers - they are all in good places, if not as well off as they were at Target. Thinking of them today.

Wouldn't worry too much about layoffs

Here's the deal. Many are leaving Target giving them an opportunity to not backfill positions. I would be surprised if large layoffs happened again. However, many middle management positions may be on the chopping block at some point as there are... — read more

Protected class.

Amazon, Please start hostile takeover of Target.

Let's face it, Target cannot compete with Walmart in physical space. Amazon needs some physical presence to compete with Walmart. Future is on-line but need for ship to store., etc....A combined Amazon and Target is natural fit. GET IT DONE!

January 27, TTS standup (jaws will hit floor)

When TTS announces the key 2016 priorities and plans, the real technologists still at Target will be running for the exits. They don't want to be stuck keeping the lights on, they want to innovate....God help us.

Live moved on

Today I realized I no longer miss Target. As I was going through LinkedIn, seeing updates, I recognized I was feeling sorry for the people still there, instead. ( And wondering why they hadn't been able to find a job somewhere else.) Truth.

Next layoffs-role being reviewed

Does anyone know when the next lay off will be? If so, what area/positions? My position is being evaluated "understood" by the merch process team. Is this something to be concerned about?

Did anyone else read JK's email and laugh at it?

Summed up: we are going to take 4 months to deliver reviews, assign new paygrades, and rollout another roadmap for a document full of half-truths that will be relevant for exactly never. Exciting times for transformation!!!

Another layoff?

I heard someone was fired just for farting. Anyone know if this is true?

Overtime and Fall season policy changes? How do we know if it's pyramid wide as they say. Less persons allowed off and no canceling due to OT.

There's no such thing as a best practice book. I've asked. So sick of hearing changes are in the best interest to peons. "cuz Target cares of your well being" yet we can't bank Holidays to take time when we want. Want to save money. Stop being so... — read more

How's TTS These Days?

Anyone have knowledge of how the new paygrades will work?

I can see the majority of us peons (EX and non-EX) in the company being lumped into one big paygrade that has a huge pay range scale. I assume all of the changes in titles within the top ranks is also a part of this new structure.

Target is toast

So I just saw a guy caring a big a$$ Amazon box. Probably not by itself an unusual site, but he was walking through Target's Northern Campus headquarters. WTF, even it's own employees prefer Amazon and clearly don't care if anyone at Target knows it.
