Announced via internal email by the old boss. Wondering if this was a condition for the new bosses arrival? Any smart financial leader worth their salt would look at the billions in lost market share due to a crisis of their own making and realize... — read more
Target together
Investors need to step in. Target spends millions on Target together and there’s no return on investment other than people who get pumped back full of kool aid so they can keep working for the big red machine. Stock is at 80 now and it’s deplorable... — read more
Hi ho, hi ho, back to work they go!
Hey, hey, how was the first week back. Good to see people at gas stations, writing checks for daycare, and actually getting showered and dressed by 7! Kind of a wake up call! I think it is the best thing to happen all year! If you don't like it... — read more
Hota Kotb
There's no way she's up there talking about how it really isn't that big of a deal to lose/depart a job within the first three minutes (after all the hugging). How tone deaf could this be??
More layoffs?

How many layoffs have there been this summer?
Hey folks! I got laid off in August with 21 other people, that I at least know of. Life Insurance guy just called to see if I want to continue the plan and he said I'm his 50th Target call today. What other areas is Target laying off from?
Happy happy day!
After 5 long years, RTO starts today! What a great thing. Alarms going off, people actually showering, getting dressed and heading out to work! No more get the kids ready, do laundry, go out get coffee, walk kids to bus stop then.....maybe start... — read more

Layoffs are all but guaranteed
No shakeup at the top comes without those of us on the bottom paying the price. I’m not sure if it will happen before or after the official transition, but we’ll be seeing major layoffs as a result.

21 folks got laid off August 12th
Hey all, I was among the 21 last week. I am so sad. HR told us we were going to be supported during our 60 day job hunt but they were no where to be found. I'm certain none of us had a chance to find a new role at Target. My team is talented... — read more

GTKY/All day coffee chats
With the RTO mandate for several departnents, get ready for the Great Hall to inundated with coffee chats all day long.
End of Price Match
Ok, Target must be in real trouble if they are dropping the price match policy of which they were always so proud. Guess they have decided they can’t play with the big dogs anymore (WalMart, Amazon). Feels like an identity problem at the Bullseye... — read more
Mandated Office Days = Quiet Layoffs?
Are the mandated 3-days in the office for the Merchandising organization just an excuse to fire people? What are people hearing?
What internal changes have you observed within your team or Target as a whole that have contributed to the company’s struggles?
What cultural, environmental, strategic, etc. issues have always been there, and what are the more recent developments that have put Target in this increasingly unwinnable position? Are there any positive any changes you have noticed that should... — read more

2 full teams were eliminated in Finance today. 12+ people.
Anyone know of any of their peers at Corporate being placed on PIPs as of recently?
I only know of two people who confided in me about their situations (even though they had stellar past reviews they claim). Makes me wonder if this is HR's way of eliminating roles, headcount and quiet laying off people? Not even sure if this is... — read more
Retail’s racing to the bottom
And Target has a front-row seat to the whole mess. Part-time hours, no benefits, and pay that’s starting to fall behind some fast food chains. If you’re still here, the smart move is to start planning your exit now.
Best Team Survey
Anyone else hearing the results of this year’s Best Team Survey are bleak? My manager alluded to it and was seemingly surprised. How can that come as a shock? Spoiler Alert: Target is not the retailer it was even 6 months ago.
Return to Office
Will return to office be the cudgel Target uses to cull its workforce before they resort to layoffs?

Should we be looking for employment elsewhere?

We are next. I am not talking about small here-and-there cuts. I am talking about a major round coming our way, guaranteed. Between the ongoing boycott and the tariffs, we are in serious trouble.

The Layoff Planning Office, I mean Enterprise Acceleration Office is announced. Will be interesting how fast they accelerate the changes.

Pushed or jumped?
Another Core Week: more stealthy layoffs, or more public cuts?
Getting super nervous here at the office. Everyone wondering if this is the core week the axe falls. We know there have been surgical layoffs during each core week so far (well because it’s quarter end, not because it is core week). It feels that the... — read more
