Everyday employees less valuable than shareholders and C-suite, new norm at TGT.
Unlike the Salesforce CEO who just came out and indicated his employees are number 1 priority, target leadership has put a bullseye on it's employee's back. Stock buybacks and dividend increases demonstrate where priority is.
Does anyone know what the severance payout is for each year of service?

I feel sorry for the Admins that are left
Your workload just doubled for the same rate of pay you now receive. Target culture is not what it used to be. Throw the koolaid out, there are much tastier drinks on the market.

New hirings in the works? Good news?
I've heard some departments are hiring soon in the midst of a 2-years lay-off plan? Out with the old and higher paid employees and In with the cheaper new employees? Just my one cent. What do others think of this conundrum?

Lilly Pulitzer launch FAIL!!!
Another designer partnership, another epic fail launch due to the site being unavailable. Here I thought that spending $1B on 'omnichannel' would work wonders. I guess the architecture can't run when people running it are laid off
