When will our fearless HR leader address the masses? Can't wait to hear how she spins this at the FNM (assuming that doesn't get cut too). Does HR have incentives tied to.
Like a Shooting Spree
No one knows where it'll happen, when it'll happen, who'll be hit, and everyone left will have survivor's guilt. It'll be a bloodbath.
Once more...
Once more unto the breach, dear team members, once more; Or close the wall up with our Target dead. In peace there's nothing so become a man As modest stillness and humility; But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the... — read more
Anyone else feeling like a they were duped?
When Cornell announced Target would be making a one-time only exception and adjusting the Incentive Program metrics so more people could bonus this year (most people's Q1 and Q2 numbers were crap because of the breach) I was pretty impressed. As a... — read more
HR Cuts?
Anyone have insight on cuts to HR teams (HROC, comp, L&D, etc)?
I work for a smaller but similar company
We have over $10 billion in revenues. We have 330 people working in corporate. 10K, 12K or 17K employees (all three numbers were quoted here) in Target HQ simply blows my mind. Good look to all of you.
Nothing on the local or mainstream news about this?
I saw a local story about 40 bus drivers being replaced by contractors in a Minneapolis suburb, nothing about Target though
Anyone experiencing issues with sending an email to gmail or a non-target email account?
I did a test and see that it's in the sent folder but I don't see it on the other end. Probably just a glitch but it's weird that Target would trap outbound emails.
If there's one good thing that could possibly come from all of this, it would be the end of 'consultants'
It's so crazy that many millions have been wasted on Accenture/McKinsey/Bain/Etc projects that went nowhere that it's mind-boggling. I really hope that 'consultant' becomes a four-letter word at Target
Is anybody going to train anyone tomorrow?
Will you respond to quick "please explain how this works or is done" inquiries? :)
HQ: Minneapolis, Brooklyn Park and Target India
Let's do a poll - What location will have the largest cuts percentage-wise!
W2 Download
I was let go last year, I haven't received my W2, I called HR last week but I haven't received a response yet. Do you know if we have a website where the form can be downloaded? Thank you in advance!
Do Managers Know Who Will Be Laid Off
Do you know if managers know what people will be laid off? I am referring to people below manager.
A man in a suit clutching his white/plastic Target moving box.
Last Tuesday, when I was looking for a parking spot in the back parking lot, I've noticed a sad sight, a tall skinny middle aged man in a suit clutching his white/plastic Target moving box. I can see his knuckles were white from holding the box too... — read more
Red and Khaki Tuesday

GTKY
Good To Know You
Baked Potato Mondays and Warm Cookie Wednesdays
I am a PG17. Petty sure my position will be eliminated on Tuesday. I am totally stressed out about what my life will hold but for now I'm looking forward to getting one last Baked Potato in tomorrow (with all of the fixins)! I plan on continuing the... — read more
If it's redundant, it's gone. Corporate Security? Cyas, your VP already got laid off. Stores Assets Protection? Bloated, it's gone.
A forensics lab? Why does Target need a Forensics Lab - they're a retailer. Just wait, it will be ugly.
Are Directors informed on who is going to get cut?
Last week, the directors in my area indicated that they really didn't know the plan - I believed they were being authentic, but checking out their calendars and they have big chunks of time blocked on Tuesday.
What did Cornell do this weekend?
I wonder what Cornell did this weekend? I am betting that he had a much better weekend than most of us..... And I am sure his week will go better than ours.
Target.com and mobile
Any insight into teams other than merch at target.com? Thinking product, site merchandising, pricing, etc.
The Company Formerly Known As Target - change the name
Let's face it. Target no longer exists. I left awhile back after many years because the company I loved had become something I no longer recognized. There is something that is a sad shadow of what was a wonderful company for 50 years, but whatever it... — read more
1 last red and khaki
Tomorrow maybe the last day in my 23 year Target career so I will red and khaki proud. I will also wear it for the fast, fun, and friendly time I have had. It's always been about the people that worked beside me, not about who was in the corner... — read more

Tomorrow
Is everything going down on Tuesday or will people be let go tomorrow?
Anyone else planning on quitting regardless?
Even if I don't get cut this week, I don't exactly feel secure in my job. I think it's time for a change no matter what happens.
Any word on what is happening to admins?
I'd imagine that as leaders get cut, their admins would too. However, with the cuts so far, their admins have stayed in place. Wondering if there is any word of keeping only a certain level of admin (I.e. eliminating say DMG support and below &... — read more
Humor before the storm.
Who wants to take over one of those meeting rooms with me on Tuesday and host an all company FFF event? We can play some Apples to Apples and talk about The Bachelor.
401K loan
If I get laid off do I have to pay off the balance of my 401K loan?
MPBA Cut
I'm hearing all Aug/Oct MPBA's will be cut....
Haven't read anything about layoffs at FRS/TCW.
Anyone know about layoffs at TCW? Is it even part of HQ? I feel like DT sees TCW as the extended family member living on the bad side of town.
