Control happens in numbers!! Tell Brian and his henchmen that your done. Employees band together and stand up and walk out. What are they going to do layoff all of you. It would be historic!!!!

Sending this from my tablet. I am outed. I am done. Take care Target Mpls employees. I love you all. I packed up my desk two weeks ago. It took that long for Target Corp to search me out. Take care.

The long awaited admin reduction will happen very soon. I can not provide a date. I am sorry. I think I may have been outed, so to speak. I am not invited to many meetings anymore. I am not able to get as much information as before. So I am sorry. I... — read more 

Does anyone know if another round of layoffs is planned? Following the carnage from a few weeks ago, it is becoming readily apparent to just about everyone that gross imbalances of workload amongst individuals, teams and departments is literally... — read more 

Are there any new information about a post-Easter massive lay-offs? Thanks!

Regardless of which side of the recent lay offs you find yourself, being laid off doesn't mean that you are cut off from your former friends, partners, peers, or partners. With the advent of social media and sites like LinkedIn, keep in touch with... — read more 

Hello Target Team Members, The Amazon Retail Recruiting Team will be hosting a networking happy hour in Minneapolis on Thursday, April 9th. This is a great opportunity to have some one-on-one time with Merchandising business leaders across all of... — read more 

Hey Dr.Fatts, do you know where Ms. Lingman is? I just found a "One Free Hug From Lingman" card in my winter coat pocket that I would like to redeem before it expires on 04/01/2015. Thanks!

Please join me in congratulating our beloved hr director who finished her expat assignment, went back to HQ last month and now promoted as senior director. Well deserved for her royal hardship in India. Wish Jodee promoted her as VP. Oh wait a minute... — read more 

Target TM: Doc, I don't feel well, this lay-off has me spooked, I'm recently married, the wifey's got a bun in the oven, we've brought a new house, and I've even brought a brand new $1200 HDTV online to watch my NFL games! If I get laid off, I'm so... — read more 

Has anyone attended? Any prospects? Do you think that buyers have a chance with amazon.com?

Tgt vs other companies--I work at Tgt & do notice the importance placed on networking (GTKYs), being perceived as positive/team player, making boss look/feel good, image (grooming, presentation) & interested in input from those who worked elsewhere... — read more 

trust me, I have reasons. Dear Leader phenomenon. You are expected to always agree with your dear leader, maybe marginally less during BTS. But always, otherwise. Dear leaders are forever quoted and praised by all other lower leaders. "Canada is a... — read more 

Why read a script to us and then make us wait indefinitely? Not cool

A lot of women didn't buy the FFF, either, like me (the original poster). I wanted to work, not go outside and play horseshoes as a "team building" activity. I wasn't a crabass about it, I had fun (hey, it was summer and they were paying me), but I... — read more 

In some areas of Target it was the men (Accounts Payable) that were in the extreme minority and were discriminated against. Many men could not get into the FF&F silliness and so were disadvantaged to be promoted or even keep their jobs. And the Happy... — read more 

Long overdue. I knew many employees working for minimum wage trying to support a family or pay for schooling. As a manager, it sickened me to see all the hardworking people make 5X less than I did just because I was more extroverted and had a degree... — read more 

Do you guys have a prediction on what will happen? Do you think it's over. I sure hope so...

If I'm still unemployed by June, do you think it would be a good idea to reapply back to Target? I know there's the whole pride thing and mistreatment, but I think getting back into target would be easier due to previous experience. What are your... — read more 

I hear rumors about this, is it possible that they will cut again?

Any one else hearing rumors about layoffs for tomorrow, 3/24? Could it be the admin layoff?

I didn't figure out how to play the game in the right way. In a place where Team Leads are recognized for moving team members OFF their teams as quickly as possible because it was seen as "development" (WHAT?), I was in a department where those of us... — read more 

All leaders say there will be difficult actions to meet the restructuring needs of Target and will reflect on the teams . What "difficult actions" means is not clear .There are some rumors that "Managers" with less than 5 DR's will be axed ! Not sure... — read more 

Discrimination? I was one of those laid off. If any case could be made it is that they hit the older people (myself included in that august bunch) as they do in most layoffs. Guess why? Because we earn (cost them) more, will eventually cost them more... — read more 

I'm now ex-TGT. When I was hired less than 4 years ago I was excited to work in a fast, fun and friendly place. FYI - I have 25 years of experience predominantly on the East Coast, with 3 years in the Valley. I worked in TTS. My assessment? Fun -... — read more 

Most upper managers got their positions by kissing up to higher ups and back-stabbing their peers for the upper advantage. TGT's culture is sick and needs to be cured through more cuts. Layoffs suck? Heck yea, but TGT will come out stronger after all... — read more 

Joke is on us.

1.) Brian tells his leadership team we need to make cuts and get leaner to compete 2.) EVPs and SVPs can't make a decision fast enough on who gets cut 3.) Brian acts decisively and uses Bain's recommendations, mostly based on cutting higher paid TMs... — read more
