While HQ became a building full of people spending 50 percent of their time or more in networking coffees, and selling themselves, and marketing their "personal brand," and cultivating "mentor relationships" and developing an "individual board of... — read more 

March layoffs continue next week. About 100 people to be let go next Tuesday, March 17th.

The irony. Investors are glad cuts occurred, while average workers lose good jobs.

Are you guys still living the FFF mantra? I thought Target parted ways with it?

I've been at Target since the glory days of Bob Ulrich and the great leaders we had back then. I was always proud to work for such a great company. We worked hard and played hard and got nice stock options and bonuses. Then Bob retired and Gregg got... — read more

I am a 35 year old woman. Part Asian, part African American. But all American. Educated in the US. And I want AND need Target to grow. We all do. I will post now and then. My predictions for April 7th may happen but maybe not. But let's all just get... — read more 

Target leadership is very intelligent. They are trying to cheat you. They are converting many managers to senior technical architects etc. How a person working as a manager for years can become technical guy suddenly. Imagine how these new techies... — read more 

All I tried to do was tell you, my current Target Employees, what was going to happen next. And all I got was crap. I was told I was a misogynist. And yet I wear 3" heels. I am a woman, and am trying to protect my Target co-workers. But I am gone... — read more

I was going to try and build some sort of relationship, but Anonymous81112 post on my OP ruined that. I am not going to take that crap from a fellow Target employee. Not now.

I will be near the Bullseye Boutique. And by the way, I am a she, not a he. Someone called me a misogynist on a previous post. How untrue. I will be in the GH, unless Target Corp gets to me first. To paraphrase Katy Perry....I am a Lion and Hear Me... — read more 

Before the weekend gets underway, I want to acknowledge that this was a very difficult week. It's hard to see talented colleagues and friends leave Target, and I have been proud to see the outpouring of support you’ve shown to each other. But as we... — read more 

Sorry, you have to stick it out. The lucky ones get paid to move on.

Apparently they are removing direct reports randomly from people and having them report to the former managers leader. Randomly selected, demoted. Happening across the company because brian thinks there are 'too many managers'. Yes, this makes total... — read more 

Seems like not every pyramid was read the script. I've learned this through talking to admins in various pyramids. When they pool us all together, are they pooling us with just are pyramid or is it possible that if we are kept we could end up in a... — read more

I was let go and feel great. By end of day yesterday, I had at least 10 people reach out to talk about new opportunities. In fact, I have 2 interviews this week already - both promising jobs here in the Cities. My conundrum is whether or not I take a... — read more 

One of the big problems we face everyday in our building is what I will call a brain drain . we have such a high turn over of g.l's and management in general that the collective knowledge resets every one to two years or so. A lot of the quote... — read more

BLR = Bangalore India. Target has an office in that city. You may also see references to TI, which is Target India. They have not experienced mass layoffs yet, but they most certainly will. The anxiety ridden posts you see regarding TI or BLR are... — read more

...I'm here because I don't wanna be laid off. Thank you for asking.

Why is Deep Throat's name keep disappearing from the name section on his/her post and replies? I wonder if Target is asking for information to be removed from this website.

After watching so many talented coworkers get laid off on Tuesday, I really don't want to work for target anymore. Not to mention the fact that there is no job security over the next 2 years. I wish I would have been part of the layoff. Its like the... — read more

With the restructuring came a lot of bench/ swatch positions, particularly for Specialists. With 200 more in merch being cut in April, you can be sure the bench TMs will be part of that. The consultants have that all mapped out. It's part of the... — read more 

Since someone with their head firmly in the 1950's (or up their a$$...) had a bit to say about the admins left behind, I thought I'd provide some clarity. Admins were not laid off immediately for several reasons. Not everyone took the "cancel all... — read more 

I heard from a reliable source that the CEO is visiting our store next week. I can only imagine tensions will be very high next week. I've been with Target 14 years and never had a CEO visit so this should be interesting

Hard to believe, but ISM is advertising for 2 print buyers already. Why were there layoffs if you are hiring now?
