Anyone else in EDABI completely fed up with lack of leadership?
I'm pretty fed up with the "leadership" of EDABI. What is the end-game here? 100% turnover ? Target India can't possibly be savior
Transformation = Layoffs. Anyone else agree?
Transformation = Layoffs. Anyone else agree? Me and my team Unable to understand vision & end state.
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
What is the word of McNamara's standup meeting on Wednesday?
Is he going to lay out 2016 plans, talk about reorganizations, layoffs. All of the above or nome of t he above and just punt like most cowardly leaders in his position?
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
Good news: http://www.startribune.com/target-to-add-1-000-technology-jobs-in-year-ahead/365965181/
Website and mobile app folks are being hired here and India. People who keep the lights on in the rest of the business may be feeling a chill wind blowing through their departments.
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.
If you think Target is too big to fail, read this... this along with the data breach... how Is Target even still in business?
http://www.canadianbusiness.com/the-last-days-of-target-canada/ Don't bother waiting for a severance package - if Target goes under there won't be any notice or severance
The difference between the reviews of TGT on this site are the opposite of what is on glassdoor.
Is this site bombarded with HR filling it with happy Fast Fun and Friendly reviews or what? https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/minneapolis-target-reviews-SRCH_IL.0,11_IM567_KE12,18.htm
Fourth Small Forat Urban Store Added in Chicago
It's not all doom and gloom, just sayin
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.
Target should really realize that "How Company Culture Shapes Employee Motivation"
https://hbr.org/2015/11/how-company-culture-shapes-employee-motivation?utm_campaign=HBR&utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=social
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

The B Team
A little frustrated with the lack of decent content on this board in the last 90 days. I realize that some may start lighting me up after posting this, but it really feels like the B or C team has taken over. For those that are lurking if you have... — read more
Protected class.
I'm preparing (documenting) last 4 months of disgusting treatment in preparation for February layoff. If I don't get same or better package as 2015, target will pay up .
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?
Target and Tech
I am a former TTS engineer just thought I would share as story that summed up my viewpoint of Target culture and tech. This is true story for Target told to me by an old IBM Sales guy. He got a call saying "Jack, help! we are about to open our 100th... — read more
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?
Why no news about the upcoming layoffs? HQ, you know it's coming
Ask not to whom the 9AM Meeting Notice is sent; it's sent to you. How many people (besides me) are clearing out their desks? The rumour mills are turning but no news on this site... the site is passe'?
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
In the did JM really just say that.....
News flash, JP appointment to stores chief replacing TT..... JM is now confident we have many great "days" ahead. Uhh, shouldn't we be counting success in years or decades and not days?
They have a new way to get rid of people, without a public layoff.
They tell you that you're underperforming and that you can either give your two weeks or go on probation (and most look likely bwill get fired.) This has happened to two different peopl I know, who did not know each other. They both have said the... — read more
Another fail fast, unfunny, and employee unfriendly year is in the books for Target.
Happy new year everyone. Unfortunately, more of the same ahead.
How's TTS These Days?
I get laid off from TTS in September and I'm just wondering how things are going for everyone still there. It felt like some things were moving in the right direction (adoption of agile, continuous integration, etc) when I left. So what's it like?... — read more
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.
Any clue on holiday sales? Will my 401K look better? Will the stock move above $75?

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.
