I am actively applying for other opportunities and have interviews lined up. This is not the company I want to work for anymore. Time to move on. It's ok for me but I am sorry for my peers and the lack of value that we apparently have in the "New"... — read more 

Don't blame Alvarez, or Brian. He's doing what had to be done to make up for years of mistakes. Face it, sales have sucked for along and time and yet, they kept adding more and more people. They created organizations to take over pricing, assortment... — read more

...I'm here because I don't wanna be laid off. Thank you for asking.

Why is Deep Throat's name keep disappearing from the name section on his/her post and replies? I wonder if Target is asking for information to be removed from this website.

After watching so many talented coworkers get laid off on Tuesday, I really don't want to work for target anymore. Not to mention the fact that there is no job security over the next 2 years. I wish I would have been part of the layoff. Its like the... — read more 

Did TTS get a break this time? Given the "strategy" is tech to the rescue.

Anyone?

With the restructuring came a lot of bench/ swatch positions, particularly for Specialists. With 200 more in merch being cut in April, you can be sure the bench TMs will be part of that. The consultants have that all mapped out. It's part of the... — read more 

Since someone with their head firmly in the 1950's (or up their a$$...) had a bit to say about the admins left behind, I thought I'd provide some clarity. Admins were not laid off immediately for several reasons. Not everyone took the "cancel all... — read more 

I heard from a reliable source that the CEO is visiting our store next week. I can only imagine tensions will be very high next week. I've been with Target 14 years and never had a CEO visit so this should be interesting

Hard to believe, but ISM is advertising for 2 print buyers already. Why were there layoffs if you are hiring now?

My sympathies to all involved in the big layoff. But the job market is good. We need multiple Java Web Application Developers at the MN Dept. of Education. Stable employment, good benefits and convenient Roseville location. Send resumes to... — read more

Next round of layoffs are now scheduled for April 7th.

This might seem like an asinine question in a time like this, but given these layoffs were not clearly performance-oriented (or, at least not heavily so), what is the likelihood that some of our displaced colleagues could be rehired in time? Or, from... — read more 

Will there be another round? I'm still here and actually surprised that I am. Wondering if another wave is coming.

I sent two people in HR emails but they haven't responded to me...

"When one door closes, another one opens. But we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones that are open for us." -- Alexander Graham Bell Chin up Target. Don't dwell on the past or "why me?". This... — read more 

I like to understand the different criteria between the varying pay grades.

We're a small company in Eagan looking to hire a few sales reps. We sell new and refurbished networking equipment. Great place to work. If you have any sales/marketing experience, please email resume to jim.herbst@summitir.com. Thanks, and good luck!

I was an MS years ago - and when I was out of the office, things went to shit without me there. Now they're pretty much only going to do item setups? What a waste of talent and college degrees. I'd get the hell out of there fast if I were an MS... — read more 

For those that were impacted by the layoffs, did Target payout accrued tuition reimbursement?

We had three TMs that were pretty much the same from experience and range of responsibilities perspective. One had an exceptional reviews, one was consistently above the average and one was, let's say, pretty bad (from the performance perspective and... — read more 

Seriously, who thought of this? What does the restructure look like in each pyramid?

My best wishes go out to all Target folks that got cut, but also to those left behind (sometimes that can be worse thinking when will then next shoe drop.. For sure when high performers were let go. At target they announced last week cut this week... — read more 

The DMG/KMGs at TI aren't let into much till the last minute. India HR runs the show, not the country MD. He is under no obligation to update the India head, who has been a puppet since the day he took over from Lalit. Spineless chap who is mostly... — read more 

I'm having a hard time coping with the stress and uncertainty and loss of my coworkers. Often, businesses will provide counseling services for the employees that stay behind. Is any of that being offered to help us get through this trying time, or... — read more 

Layoffs for the sake of layoffs, COEs for the sake of COEs, and those pulling the strings have no clue what strings they are pulling and what ones they are dropping. Brian is very quickly turning into Gregg 2.0

Two years ago I was approached by two managers on Canada teams about two different positions, both would be promotions for me and both were great steps for me to take in my career. I had been in my current position for about 2.5 years and approached... — read more 

It seems to me this could have in a way that was more fair and put the best people in the remaining roles. I know this would take more work and time, why not 1st ask for voluntary layoffs (severance package and move on). Best Buy has done that in the... — read more
