MM told us September week 1. I've also heard people on this site calling out this week (August 26/27). Who has insight they can share?
No more complacency at TGT. BC doing what hardcore CEO's must do.
99% of the posters are a bunch of f'ng whiny people who only seek their boat not to be rocked. Complacency filled Target HQ floors for years. Now, it seems that BC is looking to make Target a well-oiled machine, and you poor people don't like it... — read more

Likely candidate for RIF in next week or so.....
My position is very likely to be eliminated in coming layoffs. Maybe I'll get placed in a new role, maybe not. I have had a great ride, lots of positions and challenging assignments that have prepared me either way. Target seems to be back on the... — read more
Is TTS hiring people with agile experience during a hiring freeze?
Outside of engineers, TTS has been on a hiring freeze since the arrival of MM. We have heard all about how important the survey was to this transformation and based on our results we will be placed in the appropriate roles post transformation. It has... — read more

Earnings report article today
Saw the positive articles this morning about earnings. Within all of those same articles it said "The company has said it will cut about 16,000 corporate jobs". Does this include all of the past lay-offs, including Canada, or is there a coming blood... — read more
Stock Price up... Target slimmed down... Looks like we're making America Great Again !
I'm sorry to all those that have lost a job in the last few years, but you can't disagree that TGt was crap before the layoffs occurred and management, today, is only cleaning it up. Complain all you want, you are probably enjoying the benefits in... — read more
Wait, What?????
Target posted good results again? 4th quarter in a row of mature sales increases? (Hasn't happened in years) The financial wires are running videos of the recently revamped areas in stores boosting sales? The new adjacencies are working? But don't... — read more
Are TI KMG/LMG being protected?
I heard that KMG/LMG in TI are being told that they will be safe in the up coming round and their teams will not be impacted much. How is it that these nincompoops are being assured of no impact? On the one side we have BC saying we need to remove... — read more
How's it looking over there, TI? Has building services dropped off moving boxes yet?
That was our not-so-subtle hint of the last lay-off - Still on for 8-20?
Another day put in.....
Another day in TTS ticked by where I did absolutely nothing of real cosequence and neither dId my peers. We better get going on this transformation! Oh, BTW - were the registers up today....I'm concerned about the stability of them.
So glad I left TGT TTS
Good luck to those of 17 and below. Above that, you made the mess.
Today's Q meeting with BC
Huge waste of time
Target is getting a new CFO who comes to us from Express Scripts where she was EVP/CFO.
Does anyone see anything concerning about this list? Perhaps a glimpse into Target's future? http://finance.yahoo.com/news/worst-companies-130656663.html
Target's current work culture worse than Amazon.
If you believe the recent article on Amazon work expectations, Target is even worse. We put in the same crazy hours, get some crappy feedback, but have no clear expectations....other than transform what you do.....what is that? You work on things you... — read more

HR is finalizing plans to replace vacation accrual. For KMG and above they can simply take as much time as they need want, subject to approval. They will not get a 'set' amount based on seniority. For all other TGT team members below KMG, including... — read more
Pay cuts in new role
i heard some rumors that there will be pay cuts in the TTS with the september re-org. Is that true?
Brainwashed
To all the brainwashed team members who still thinks TGT's mission is to be the "Best Company Ever": The mission changed to "We fulfill the needs and fuel the potential of our guests." GTKY is a starbucks-influenced time-wasting activity. No matter... — read more

Who in TTS / BPO / ??? is really doing anything for next 3 weeks?
Can't tell you how many meetings I've been in with other IC's this last week, where the final decision on a topic is to defer the discussion to September week 2. Yawn!
Corporate Target.com careers option has been disabled?
Has anyone aware of Target disabling the careers search options in target site for further employment. I do not have luck to search anything in corporate target careers from last one week. Wondering if they have disabled it because of upcoming... — read more
TCW Closing
It's offical. TCW is being sold. Most team members will be relocated to TNC in Summer 2016.
The street talking
After subsequent humiliating layoffs, they were hoping for a large scale attrition, which never happened. So now they have to march everyone (forcefully) down the north campus hallways towards the exit. On your way out remember to grab a handful of... — read more
Target Leadership running scared
There is no strategy at Target at this point. Whatever direction the wind is blowing they go with it. Organic food...sure, even though Whole Foods the pioneer is struggling. Boys toys or clothes...no,no,no....there is no such thing as gender anymore... — read more

External Partner Question
Does anybody remember how long you have to wait to become an external partner with Target Corp once laid off? My severance contract is packed away (in the middle of a move) but may need to know how long / the process to be approved to be an external... — read more
Life outside of Target Can be better. Greener pastures do exist.
I was laid off in April along with many of my comrades. What we have learned is that life can be better outside of Target. My new job pays the same. Company culture is great and people actually want to work because it's employee owned. I've also run... — read more
Pay cuts
I wonder if the people that get to stay will be "forced" to take pay cuts in their "new" roles.
5 tips for BC and MM
1) Flatten the org by removing Group Managers! They are worthless! 2) STOP the f***ing meetings where people just talk shit and try to show off and sound smart... have valuable meetings!!!! work meetings where people do work collaborative work! not... — read more
