Imagine the message that would send. We are shareholders. We should have a voice in how this company is run.

Less than seven months on the job and already on track to eliminate over 20,000 jobs. Impressive. He's already breaking his old records. I wonder if the $1.3 million base salary makes it all worth it?

Its Tuesday morning in TI. People are really tensed since yesterday. No signs till now , however most of the work has stopped as we dont know whos there and whos not.. What does the grapevine say? Will Km dm group be hit today? What departments?

If they lay you off, tell the whole company, but nothing that will mess up your severance. You can always stop the email if they are not letting you go.

Brian Cornell has shown his true colors. Slash and burn regardless of individuals' ability. A lot of the people cast off today are among the best leaders we have....had. The heartless way in which this is being executed indicates BC isn't interested... — read more 

I kind of hope I'm cut loose. Get out there and find a company who values my contributions versus rewarding a bunch of schmoozers. IMHO that is what is killing Target this culture of doing little and expecting much.

Office politics has a higher power than meritocracy. I think meritocracy is a concept totally unknown to "Target's people in leadership positions". I say it in quote because there is no real leadership.

Feel bad for all of the current Target employees. I have to say, I think all of you could have seen this coming. I worked for the company for a long enough time to figure out the ins and outs of the way the "politics" work in this place. Your direct... — read more 

Anyone know what the deal is with severance packages? I have heard that you stay on payroll until 4/18 AND receive your bonus, then get 6 weeks, get vacation paid out, and finally receive one week per year you have been at the company. Does anyone... — read more 

What do I do if I get laid off and Target Credit Union is my only bank? Will I have time to close out my account? I don't have checks so it's not like I can write a check for all my money to a new bank. Ugh.

I feel sorry for those that have lost their jobs regardless of ones performance were no better than anyone else. Their just like you reading this post an employee. This layoff board hasnt been helpful. One there are idiots that should be banned from... — read more 

Cue the Shindler's List music.

I have heard about the look of Walmart and we know Brian was at Sams (where is pulled them out of Canada as well.) I found these posts for when Walmart cut big, when our fearful leader was at the helm of Sams. Sound familiar to anyone?... — read more 

She was with her husband. Crushing. Reality sinking in. Start reaching out to recruiters. There is life beyond these lakes if you can afford to get out of MN.

Is everybody getting a 9am meeting or just the raptured? :-/ Will email be immediately blocked? What can you suss out from the invites?

I heard this week that once again they are sending PM and BA roles to Target India. Clearly the PM function is something that Target doesn't care about or doesn't understand. If they need only a Project Coordinator who checks the boxes, yes, it makes... — read more 

One of the reasons this is not the Target of 10 years ago is that the company has gotten so bloated and bureaucratic. Departments are 3-4x the size of their benchmarks in other companies. Brutal as these layoffs are, they're designed to get the... — read more 

Everyone should get to leave early tomorrow even they're not the ones let go. Everyone needs to be able breath a sigh of relief, drown their sorrows and/or wish friends off.

Last year we were told about the layoffs in our own meeting that was later in the day, after those that were negatively affected were notified. It is crazy though how much money gets wasted around here. Our refresh process had us refreshing assets... — read more 

This is incredibly disrespectful to those affected. Show some decency, people.

I think it should be obvious to all of us by now that our "leaders" don't really have any idea how to fix the mess we're in. Layoffs are always a short term fix to get investors off their backs. No meaningful change will occur until a lot more in... — read more 

Does anybody know how the layoffs would affect all departments in Tempe, Arizona? Is it management positions only or all? I would imagine with our new Target Cards coming out later this year, that all departments would be safe. It doesn't make sense... — read more 

Everything on this blog indicates that Merch is where the giant bullseye is. But of course Merch is a broad term at Target. Can mean a lot of different teams. Honestly, to meet these kinds of layoff numbers predictions, I am guessing entire... — read more
