Next round of layoffs are now scheduled for April 7th.

This might seem like an asinine question in a time like this, but given these layoffs were not clearly performance-oriented (or, at least not heavily so), what is the likelihood that some of our displaced colleagues could be rehired in time? Or, from... — read more 

Will there be another round? I'm still here and actually surprised that I am. Wondering if another wave is coming.

I sent two people in HR emails but they haven't responded to me...

I was an MS years ago - and when I was out of the office, things went to shit without me there. Now they're pretty much only going to do item setups? What a waste of talent and college degrees. I'd get the hell out of there fast if I were an MS... — read more 

For those that were impacted by the layoffs, did Target payout accrued tuition reimbursement?

We had three TMs that were pretty much the same from experience and range of responsibilities perspective. One had an exceptional reviews, one was consistently above the average and one was, let's say, pretty bad (from the performance perspective and... — read more 

Seriously, who thought of this? What does the restructure look like in each pyramid?

My best wishes go out to all Target folks that got cut, but also to those left behind (sometimes that can be worse thinking when will then next shoe drop.. For sure when high performers were let go. At target they announced last week cut this week... — read more 

The DMG/KMGs at TI aren't let into much till the last minute. India HR runs the show, not the country MD. He is under no obligation to update the India head, who has been a puppet since the day he took over from Lalit. Spineless chap who is mostly... — read more 

I'm having a hard time coping with the stress and uncertainty and loss of my coworkers. Often, businesses will provide counseling services for the employees that stay behind. Is any of that being offered to help us get through this trying time, or... — read more 

Layoffs for the sake of layoffs, COEs for the sake of COEs, and those pulling the strings have no clue what strings they are pulling and what ones they are dropping. Brian is very quickly turning into Gregg 2.0

Two years ago I was approached by two managers on Canada teams about two different positions, both would be promotions for me and both were great steps for me to take in my career. I had been in my current position for about 2.5 years and approached... — read more 

It seems to me this could have in a way that was more fair and put the best people in the remaining roles. I know this would take more work and time, why not 1st ask for voluntary layoffs (severance package and move on). Best Buy has done that in the... — read more

Really? Didn't we try that years ago, when it SHOULD have been called "Centers of Mediocrity?"

Or "how to get the biggest bang for your lay off buck if you're a corporation": Cut lots of lower level / lower seniority team members (a 15 week severance package is way cheaper for a BA or associate than a 15 week package for a manager level). Brag... — read more 

is f***ed up. Horrible leaders were given new opportunities to lead great teams with expanded scope. One of our, best and most talented leaders had his team stripped from him and is now reporting to a peer with no experience. Nothing is lined up... — read more 

Does anyone think the SS or MS role will be laid off anytime soon?? I have heard around the water cooler that these folks want to be let go, but are too afraid to quit.

I am the original poster. So this is going to happen. Target ISM will lose at least 4 more people. Director of Weekly Supplement has been outsourced. Project Streamline. TE gone in two weeks. Target will outsource all buying to third party vendor... — read more 

Has this been announced yet? Anything anyone can share? I was a team member in Merch for 14 years but left a few years ago when I saw this mess a-brewin'. Curious what the newest scheme is!

Does anyone have any info about whether the BA role will see substantial workload increases? If so, will pay increase as well? Already working 50-60 hours a week with MCIM so would consider leaving if work picks up even more. On another note, really... — read more
