If my review score is going to be based on the number of stickers on my laptop I'm screwed. Can we please grow up and be adults here. The people running devops must have felt inadequate in some way growing up and are now compensating for it.

https://lnkd.in/eA2ncpm I am sure the devOops folks in TTS will use this as an example to leadership that everything is running perfectly in the stores! the stores are innovation labs! time to hand out some promotions!

Hard to believe that 6 months after TTS "transformed" ,or basically just gave people new titles and supposed teams, no one still has any idea what the F is going on.

Does anyone have details on what will be discussed?

BC says this, "Our outstanding team is one of our key competitive advantages." SL says this, "The Target team has always been the key to our success. Our team has embraced and harnessed the changes necessary to compete in the dynamically changing... — read more 

Finally. Better late than never? Or is it too late and the damage has already been done?

Seems that there are positions being eliminated or moving to India a few every few weeks. Have others been seeing this, too? Too small to hit the news. Those left have to absorb the additional work.

After the September layoff in TTS I was pleasantly surprised at the number and quality of positions that are posted consistently in the Twin Cities. There are good opportunities for anyone who wants to work. Take an honest look at yourself and find a... — read more 

Once again Target's stock price dives around the time the 4th qtr and year end results are nearing finalization internally. Are insiders selling or is this just a reaction to Kohl's announcement today.

After 1/29 contractor reduction, it looks like TTS sourcing is launching a reverse auction process to beat down the price by terming it preferred supplier pool. Isn't that ironical? Why would TTS even want to engage contractors anymore with no big... — read more 

There is a lot of smoke and mirrors you are not seeing through... what you think is happening at the store level is a facade... the numbers don't tell you everything you think they do... forget the dog and pony show and show up unannounced ... or you... — read more 

There are so many people in TTS and partner teams sitting around dreaming about getting some real work done. But no, we wait while our leadership dither on another transformation process. I expect I'll have something real to occupy my time by May if... — read more 

I made a catastrophic mistake when I joined Target seven years ago. I made the mistake of putting SUBSTANCE over STYLE. This is the inherent problem with Target, and why it's so broken - and tragically, why it will cost so many good people their... — read more 

Tired of waiting to get assigned to some real work and on the other hand don't want to leave good paying job. Does that sumsup most of you?

I'm pretty fed up with the "leadership" of EDABI. What is the end-game here? 100% turnover ? Target India can't possibly be savior

Transformation = Layoffs. Anyone else agree? Me and my team Unable to understand vision & end state.

With the upcoming re-stack at Northern Campus, also means shuffling to prepare for another Mighty March Layoff - there's still a lot of "trash" workers - those who gossip, those who eavesdrop and those who repeat "confidential" information. Just... — read more 

Is he going to lay out 2016 plans, talk about reorganizations, layoffs. All of the above or nome of t he above and just punt like most cowardly leaders in his position?

So we are going through this supposed transformation and layoffs so that those left will be accountable to "their" new work requirements. So why is it my boss and others in his position are passing their "new" expectations down to me and my peers. I... — read more 

Website and mobile app folks are being hired here and India. People who keep the lights on in the rest of the business may be feeling a chill wind blowing through their departments.

I do nothing all day and get paid an enormous sum. No one even knows or cares. If only I could figure how to get paid for two jobs at Target. I'm working on it.

Everyone is confused with change in job family etc.... No guidelines for review or score...HR has no clue...and management is pushing for low scores... Hmmmm...take bonus if you get and then get out if you can....has replaced the goal.

http://www.canadianbusiness.com/the-last-days-of-target-canada/ Don't bother waiting for a severance package - if Target goes under there won't be any notice or severance

Is this site bombarded with HR filling it with happy Fast Fun and Friendly reviews or what? https://www.glassdoor.com/Reviews/minneapolis-target-reviews-SRCH_IL.0,11_IM567_KE12,18.htm

It's not all doom and gloom, just sayin

HQ teams get the email with a link to download an app the will calculated the wasted time we spend in meetings, OK, then within 1 day we get flooded with internal ENGINEERING WEEK EVENTS. Wonder how many engineers are using that APP???

Or maybe it was Wednesday but I'm sure it was two years this week. I still miss my co-workers - they are all in good places, if not as well off as they were at Target. Thinking of them today.

Here's the deal. Many are leaving Target giving them an opportunity to not backfill positions. I would be surprised if large layoffs happened again. However, many middle management positions may be on the chopping block at some point as there are... — read more

I'm preparing (documenting) last 4 months of disgusting treatment in preparation for February layoff. If I don't get same or better package as 2015, target will pay up .

Let's face it, Target cannot compete with Walmart in physical space. Amazon needs some physical presence to compete with Walmart. Future is on-line but need for ship to store., etc....A combined Amazon and Target is natural fit. GET IT DONE!

When TTS announces the key 2016 priorities and plans, the real technologists still at Target will be running for the exits. They don't want to be stuck keeping the lights on, they want to innovate....God help us.

Today I realized I no longer miss Target. As I was going through LinkedIn, seeing updates, I recognized I was feeling sorry for the people still there, instead. ( And wondering why they hadn't been able to find a job somewhere else.) Truth.

Does anyone know when the next lay off will be? If so, what area/positions? My position is being evaluated "understood" by the merch process team. Is this something to be concerned about?
