My husband was just laid off. He's technically in the Tech space so looks like no sector is safe. He wasn't an engineer btw.

Yes, we can catch our breath for now, but this is only the beginning. If you think you’re safe, think again. All signs point to layoffs becoming the new normal. I wish it weren’t like this, but ignoring it won’t help anyone.

Anyone know what merch org changes are happening?

Everything else has been a mess, from the announcement and the buildup, to the awful communication from leadership right up to the last minute. I dread whatever comes next. I really feel for those affected today, especially anyone in a tougher spot... — read more 

Just wanted to chime in as one of your corporate neighbors in Minneapolis. This is awful and we are thinking of all of you. Curious if the comp package of your ceo and executive team will change—this is their mismanagement. Hang in there, our team... — read more 

I was hoping for a different outcome than most of us here and must say.. I am completely disappointed to have received a safe email. I honestly wish I could take the spot of one of you who has invested way more into this. Anywho.. my prayers are with... — read more 

Even knowing it's over? I still can't get rid of this knot in my stomach.

Were they targeting older employees or is it more evenly distributed?

Team, Today is a difficult day for all of us at Target. Earlier this morning, I shared with team members whose roles are being eliminated that today is their last day of work. For the group receiving this email, you and your role remain at the... — read more 

This is the easy cut, the next phase will be in tech. Target plans to outsource all of tech, engineering, and security, what does not get moved to India will be outsourced to a contract here in the US. So this is just the start, pretty much everyone... — read more 

If we didn't get an invite for the meeting, does that mean we're safe?

Is there 1000ish people in this 9am meeting? Could there be a round 2 today? Still dead silent over where I am.

Let’s try to keep a list in one place. Based on what people have shared so far, it might actually be easier to point out which orgs seem safe. It’s looking really bad. I’m so sorry we all have to go through this.

Tell these id--ts there’s no sound in the meeting. Seriously, what an awful company.

how are these areas not impacted?

I see 9am blocked off on a L7 and L8 I think, not sure though 😢 Everyone is in my prayers!!

Curious if anyone knows what’s going on with finance?

They are laying off tons of Cyber Security employees at the moment

feels like it

I have been praying for myself and everyone else. Even if I survive this layoff I know others will not and it saddens me. What a horrible way to do a layoff, we find out Thursday and have to go all the way to Tuesday to find out, it has been a... — read more 

how long do we have to wait? meeting invites shouldn’t come after 8 right?

apparently there will be multiple going out. So hang in there if you get one in another wave it may just be a reorg. But I think the first wave is the 9-915 meeting, strong possibility that’s a lay off and anything later may be something else

From a spouse of a Target employee. I've been following this site for the last 5 days and this whole process is an absolute sh-t show. I'm sorry to every employee that works there and has had to play this game.

Got the layoff email from Melissa - 9am ct today.

I can see the downtown office from my window. I stared at it all night. I saw the lights go out. I saw the lights come back on. I don't know what today has in store for us. But if I've learnt anything from life, This too shall pass.

As long as they don't decide to drag this out throughout the entire day. I'm not sure I can take that.

No email or meeting request for me. When will we start hearing?

Assuming some would quit with RTO, saving severance and unemployment.

I genuinely can't sleep. I'm trying so hard. But I just can't. It's 2:20 am. I don't even know what to check my email. I don't know what to do anymore. I lost. I feel dead inside. I know this is just a job. But it's also livelihood.

Please which teams are being impacted and any details you can share

That’s what I plan to do from now on. I’ll give back exactly what I’m given in return. They’ve shown us how little they think of us, so why should I bother giving it my all anymore? My best effort will be reserved for my next company, hopefully one... — read more 

Lets make TGT great again and bring back Mark Triton as COO to support CEO Fidelke and Chairman Cornelly

Let’s be honest. They don’t care about quality or people, only about cutting costs. If they can outsource us all, they will. The work will definitely suffer, but that won’t matter to them. As long as the numbers look good on paper, they’ll call it a... — read more 

Even if nothing comes of it, spending my evening looking and applying for a new job made me feel like I was taking some control of the situation. Good luck tomorrow everyone!

What are the chances?
