Can you try to book a conf room, you should get a 'already booked response' from Exchange and it should tell you who has it booked (sometimes it tells you the meeting subject as well) - let us know if it's interesting...

Conference rooms have already been blocked off for it and meetings are being rescheduled last minute to free up the rooms. I've heard tomorrow is the day from a couple reliable sources as well. Do I hope it's wrong? Of course, but something is coming... — read more

Anonymous3202 MSP only impacted Distribution, Transportation and Global Trade area. It is not related to the .com area at all.

were you one of the BA's fired in Oct ? why were you trying to manage projects ? we heard business said TTS BAs in MSP did nothing.

I used to work in target.com and the issue wasn't one of PM control but one of experience in managing projects with multiple cross team dependencies. Before you get to the point where additional authority would help you need to be able to proactively... — read more

This source is reliable and a no non-sense person, who is straight forward always I don't think they have a personal gain in spreading this rumour... Ok if at all this is not a real date... Nothing to loose Let's wait and watch ....

This is my first post, I am recent college graduate and I joined TTS roughly 20 months ago. I like it here, I have good mentors and I learned a lot while here. So, aside from pay which can always be better, I cannot complain about much. Now, granted... — read more

It's been interesting to see how completely invisible the cio had been in all this -one would think she would have had something to say as well. Paranoia and control is how they seem to run things there.

Too slow? And to think, Neiman-Marcus' breach occurred at the same time, and hit the news probably two weeks later. And there are rumored to be another 4-6 major national retailers who haven't disclosed their own major data breaches that occurred in... — read more 

What washe supposed to say? He found out there was a data breech and they were investigating. It would be irresponsible to address it before understanding more about it and preparing the organization to deal with the reaction. Sensational journalism... — read more
