Is there some kind of insurance that I can buy that would help me with payments for car and house while I am unemployed. I am assuming

Honestly, don't you want to be one of those let go? Take the severance, go on vacation, come back refreshed and then get the job you really want. You will probably get a raise as Target doesn't pay what the market does (in TTS anyway) Do you really... — read more 

I'm assuming Brian won't be keeping us, but if anyone has insight, please provide. Thank you

Any updates?

They will do managers and staff tomorrow, that's the rumor.

DMG leaders at HQ that have been let go do not have a 'Private' meeting today from 1-4pm local time. VPs and DMG (Director's) Leaders that remain have a meeting today from 1-4pm. This is just one data point and a guarantee of nothing...

For gods sake people take 10 breaths and calm yourselves down. Do you understand that 4 of 5 of us (and likely more than that) will still be here? You're acting like the place is closing down.

I just witnessed a middle aged man pull his cell phone from his pocket to phone his wife that he had been let go. He was clearly emotional and fighting back tears. I wanted to put my hand on his shoulder to let him know that I cared... but I didn't... — read more 

Here are a few things on my mind. 1) In tough times we have moments to show our true colors, to show grace and gratitude. These are moments to be our best. To all those who will be laid off, I hope you choose to be your best in this situation - there... — read more 

Full disclosure: I don't work in these departments so haven't actually seen the lay offs with my own eyes, it's just what I'm hearing in the office. The rumor is 50+ directors are out today, haven't heard one way or another an actual count. In... — read more 

People, information would be better if you would state the department at a minimum. You don't need to name people, but at least state the department (versus just saying my department). Thanks. We all want to have facts.

I'm so queasy and I don't really have an appetite but at Noon I'm going to head down to Cafe Target and I'm gonna get my last baked potato with ALL OF THE FIXINS! I will probably be gone tomorrow but the man can't take away my joy today! I've been... — read more 

Just found out a very high performing and well respected director is done. Unacceptable Brian, Gregg may have made this place a shit hole, but you sir are making it pure hell.

I am not a target employee, but I'm very close to some of you. I live in the Twin Cities and I have chosen Target over other alternatives over and over because I have friends/family that work there. I know I'm not the only one. Let's friends and... — read more 

I mentioned last week that a good friend in HR advised me that there would be a good number of terminations today, mostly director and manager level. That appears to be happening now. She mentioned that the main blood bath would begin tomorrow, which... — read more 

I just wanted to say that as someone who has been laid off twice in job eliminations from MN companies, my prayers go out to all of you! But, even as one door was closed behind me, a better one opened in front of me. Target may be a damaged brand... — read more 

Not every Director that I know has been laid off had Private Meetings this morning but four of five did. I may share Pyramids/Departments later but a little tough to do it now.

Gov Dayton needs more MNSure/Obamacare members -- several thousand hitting the market, soon. Otherwise, MN Government receives more revenue from the tax penalties/fines for not joining. Win-win for Dayton.

First announcement on my calendar for 10am... So it begins.

It would be a youtube success if: You go into your private meeting ... Ask your supervisor or HR team member to pause for a moment.. and put on your Walmart vest and say, "Ok, now I'm ready". At least, go out in style.

Looks like lots of Directors have a Private appointment from 1-4 today and one at CC has travel time right before the meeting, so they are all getting together at plaza. Who is going to wonder the 2nd floor looking for the large conference room they... — read more 

He won't make a difference, but God bless Governor Dayton for helping this long-lasting Minnesota company go down with a fierce fight. In his family for years, started by his great-grandpa George, he won't let Mr. "Pepsi/Wal-Mart Layoff" come in and... — read more

Seems ominous

He was supposed to be in India until the end of the week. But he's in the office today. Gut punch.

I don't know what to do. I'll feel pretty dumb about cancelling if all parties still have jobs at the end of the day, but it also feels weird to go about business as usual.

anyone feel like they are driving to their death this morning?

Has anyone heard how this will affect TCW? Heard the layoffs downtown will have a watershed affect on TCW's departments, but nothing about the call centers (collections, Tsrget.com,) or FMOC. Did hear rumors that TAS in North Dakota and the Tempe... — read more 

They're the consulting company brought in to decide our fates. They're basically "The Bobs" of Office Space. Or blame the hiring managers who allowed Target to get bloated in the first place. It's not our fault they hire me too many people.
