WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN WITH TARGET ADMINS?
PLEASE TELL ME!
Deep Throat here
There will be no layoffs until June. Brian is a very superstitious person. He loves astrology. Next round of layoffs will be June 9th, 2015. A Tuesday. 6-9-15. 6+9=15. His target date and Brian's favorite number.
From someone who was laid off in PD&D in March - Free advice to the leaders about how not to treat people the day they are laid off
Do not gather all the remaining team members to line the hallways and clap and cheer as the laid off leave their final "you were laid off - here's your walking papers- you must leave the building immediately" meeting. It may make leadership feel... — read more
Not sure where the April 7th rumor came from but it's pretty quiet this morning.
It seems more likely rhat it won't happen when people speculate it will. I'm also pretty sure the people making those decisions read this forum and are not going to elude to timing.
Getting laid off from Target is like being released from a cult.
I was laid off in March and the past four weeks have been the best of my career so far. I stressed before it happened, but not after--the unknown is harder to deal with than the known. I now have time and a pile of cash while I look for my next job... — read more
Things are... happening?
Either soon, in the not so distant future, or the distant future. People will be laid off or not laid off or they will resign or be terminated. Or potentially promoted. This is pretty much what every post has turned into here....

Termination Tuesdays
Why does everyone think tomorrow April 7th is the day?
Alvarez & Marsal meeting with managers next week.
They're still around and meeting with higher ups. I'm assuming that's not good for the rest of us.
“You can hear rumors. But you can't know them.”
Rumors spread like fire, but whose gonna clear it? Everyone keeps asking their managers and they say even i heard the same. If its not gonna happen then why is it spreading, what are all the big heads eating shit? or they also want us to be in this... — read more
Something is definitely happening soon
Overheard a long conversation between what I assume are two HR managers discussing logistics of the layoffs. Including resignation letters, offering severance packages and updating org charts.
Remember the Austin, MN Hormel strike? Wow. Intense.

Hope the rumor about TTS layoffs is true and it severely impacts managers and above!
I left Target 6 months ago after 2 years in TTS. I was an experienced hire, having previously worked for two large companies in the Twin Cities. During my time there, I wasn't able to deliver a single successful project. Although there were plenty of... — read more

My 2 cents on outsourcing oversea and temp workers.
Several years ago, we had to send out a company's wide email to all temporary employees requesting some of the temps workers from using the word "axe" versus "ask." Also, recently, some oversea TMs were misusing "weather" for the word, "whether." A... — read more
