Target Minimum Wage Increase

Anyone considering reapplying to Target?

If I'm still unemployed by June, do you think it would be a good idea to reapply back to Target? I know there's the whole pride thing and mistreatment, but I think getting back into target would be easier due to previous experience. What are your... — read more

Why I Didn't Get Cut at Target

I didn't figure out how to play the game in the right way. In a place where Team Leads are recognized for moving team members OFF their teams as quickly as possible because it was seen as "development" (WHAT?), I was in a department where those of us... — read more

Target - Discrimination?

Discrimination? I was one of those laid off. If any case could be made it is that they hit the older people (myself included in that august bunch) as they do in most layoffs. Guess why? Because we earn (cost them) more, will eventually cost them more... — read more

How to succeed at Target

Most upper managers got their positions by kissing up to higher ups and back-stabbing their peers for the upper advantage. TGT's culture is sick and needs to be cured through more cuts. Layoffs suck? Heck yea, but TGT will come out stronger after all... — read more

1.) Brian tells his leadership team we need to make cuts and get leaner to compete 2.) EVPs and SVPs can't make a decision fast enough on who gets cut 3.) Brian acts decisively and uses Bain's recommendations, mostly based on cutting higher paid TMs... — read more

Target Mpls (Deep Throat)

Layoffs to continue, the next round will be April 7th. Target Corp moved the layoffs that I had anticipated to happen on March 17th, to yesterday the 19th. I guess they don't like me spilling the beans.

My Experience at Target is Comparatively Positive

Like any large company, it's different in different areas. I also worked at Wells Fargo, and it was way more screwed up than what I've experienced at Target. I've worked for 6 different companies over the past 15 years, and I'd rank Target my 2nd... — read more

HR people- Volunteers!

If HR people at Target have any influence over the future layoffs over the next 2 years, it would be so great if they allowed people to volunteer. Other companies (including amazon) do this and I think it makes things more fair, especially for people... — read more
