Incoming CEO says effective immediately, I’m taking over, current CEO is no longer ceo, current CEO will also not be chairman of board and 10% layoffs across L7+. If the company needs immediate restructuring, it has to come from very top. Michael... — read more
Is it possible the rumors are wrong?
Is it at all possible the rumors are wrong? Target still has openings listed on indeed. We’ve heard nothinb(not that we would before they wanted us to). Is it at all possible? I still don’t think they are going to want even more bad pr. Or am I just... — read more
Track WARN notices in MN
Nothing yet filed for Target for 2025 - https://mn.gov/deed/programs-services/dislocated-worker/dislocated-worker/news/ Don;t know if this is the "official" place to see these, but this is what I've used before.
Is there a max number of paid weeks you can get paid in Severance?
Do they cap it? Let's say someone worked here 40 years?
How many people are they going to go after?
They could’ve at least given us some kind of heads-up. I’m afraid nobody can really consider themselves safe right now.
Anyone have any insight into what information TGT HR shares with future employers?
Do they only confirm dates of employment and titles/salaries or has anyone known of an instance where they shared more (like reason for termination)? Thanks!
How do they select who is being laid off?
Anyone with experience relating to this? Who makes the final call? Who puts the names on the list?
Identity/PR Crisis
Does anyone else feel like targets identity crisis and pr image is as responsible for the decline in sales as anything else? The only thing that makes me think MAYBE there won’t be layoffs is because it really would make Target look sooooo much worse... — read more
Anyone else going through something similar to this?
In the past few weeks my boss has asked for several things that seem unusual: a certain document she could pass off to the EOM/Acceleration team cuz they are trying to understand certain things for “future state white papers” summaries of all... — read more
I hope this is over as soon as possible
I have a feeling that announcing layoffs then making us wait and not saying when is intentional. They're creating a stressful atmosphere where everybody is constantly worried and some might even decide to quit if it goes on for too long. Or maybe I'm... — read more
When will we get official communication?
With a few dates being thrown around - 10/20 and 10/28 - will we receive some sort of message/communication from Brian or Michael in the next few days explaining the "why" behind the cuts and the official numbers, or are they just going to let it... — read more
LOPs: When there are mass layoffs, who has final say in the decision of who to cut?
Managers? Directors? Sr. Directors? VPs?
PTO amidst Layoff?
Should we try to use up PTO now before this potential October 28th date? What is everyone’s plan for their accrued PTO?
If my area already had cuts and a re-org last year, am I safe?
They’ve been doing small surgical cuts across teams for 1-2 years now. Mostly to move roles to India. Would they make cuts on those same teams again?
PSA: 10/28/25 Layoff @ Target

Any updates?
It’s all so hush-hush where I am, and that just makes me even more nervous.

Layoffs - what was it like last time?
If any of you were around in 2015 (I think?) for the layoffs/merch transformation— what was it like? Was it devastating and terrible? Did morale plummet? I’m trying to brace myself for what’s to potentially come, and not just the mass layoff itself... — read more
This was expected
I worked at Target long enough to see how deep the mismanagement goes. Decisions made on impulse, no strategy, no accountability. It’s almost a miracle any stores are still running at all.
I've been looking around, and it's not good
Jobs are scarce, and those that are available don't pay as much. I was worried about being laid off as is, but that's made me stress even more. I really hope the ones affected are those who actually have options and want out (and I know a few of... — read more
Unqualified Upward Movement
Anyone else notice some of the people with the worst leadership reviews actually got moved up the food chain? These shareholders wonder why Target is going downhill lol. People in power decide who they like and just make the decisions based on that... — read more
CTV CTB GSP
Is anyone hearing insights on “flattening” the redundant CTB CTV and GSP roles in particular WH (western hemisphere). Seems like other areas are flattening and going back to pre-merch like transformations. Others have said that Bills pyramid will not... — read more
Do I get PTO paid out if they axe me?
Do you know the rule? Cannot locate it anywhere?
What will be the criteria for layoffs this time?
The better job you do, the faster you’re out the door? With special “consideration” for anyone 50+? Probably the usual cr-p. Makes you wonder why we even bother.
All this Buzz and No Real Information
I appreciate people sharing what they’ve heard but this is all so vague I’m really struggling to understand how valid this is. Is it RTO for remote? Is it layoffs like in 2015? Has anyone actually been told anything or is this just phone tag at its... — read more
Framing the Narrative
I think the timing of the October announcement is telling. I think they are trying to insulate the stock price ahead of the Q3 earnings release.
Does anyone know how many remotes have actually been offered relocation?
I haven’t. And God knows what that means. Judging from the rumors, relocation offers seem to be just an easy, cost-free way to push people out in most cases. I mean, who would uproot their life for a job when job security is practically an ancient... — read more
How fast things change
Remember a few years ago when things were actually going well? How did we get from that to this so fast? Leadership failing this badly should be studied in schools.
I’ll go nuts before this is over
Anticipating layoffs for this long really does a number on your psyche. You can hate your job all you want, but most of us desperately need it right now. Have you seen the job market lately? Or the cost of everything going up? I’m extremely worried... — read more
Week of 10/20
Talked to a Director today. They are requesting that directors are in the office on Mon & Tue (w/o 10/20). It's mandatory. Well know about layoffs after those meetings as I am sure it'll leak here (it did last time). It's so exausting to wait for... — read more
Any new info about the layoffs rumored around the 20th?
I’m remote, and honestly terrified we’ll be among the first on the chopping block. If anyone has credible information, please share. There are so many rumors flying around - mass layoffs, HQ-only cuts, even a possible private equity acquisition. It’s... — read more

Layoffs: Home or Office
If they were to do layoffs would they be more likely to do them when we were actually physically present in the office?
