I am very sorry to those who lost their jobs today. Many were my colleagues and friends. I want to wish you well and let you know, in my experience, there is life after corporate employment.
TI
No responses from TI folks, as they dont have a first-hand account...still taking in the rumors...while everyone agrees it is today, but no one seems to know a guy who got the meeting invite...

3429 a little disengenious

Construction Dpt
No hits in construction as of today

Anyone know?

We'll see what happens, I think this site will get a million views today
Blood Bath at TI
It will be a mayhem at TI ...
Disappointed
It is disappointing when I continue to see Target cut top talent in the IT space. I can speak to it from a person who has been through being let go, the folks that were cut who were good will have new jobs in 3-5 weeks. It will take Target 3-5 years... — read more
@severance
20% of salary? That seems low. Is the percentage based on some variable such as years of service? I know in my area those let go weren't here very long.
