@3297 Based on what? Probably whether or not your boss and your HQHR team like you or not. I dunno.
It doesn't 'have' to be based on anything. Potential, whether or not you're liked, whether or not your role is deemed important anymore. It's probably more arbitrary than anything else.
10% of everyone? Based on what?
Salary? PG? Review score? Some arbitrary method? More specifics needed!
HELLO HQ HR
What time will meetings be out on calendars?
@3280
Has what we've been hearing. Btt, pmcoe, possibly US testing teams. Its a poorly guarded secret with mgrs just as pissed off as the rest of us on how this is being done. Interview cubes bring set up in the 9 rooms on 13/14 in Cc. Putb it this way- a... — read more
@3283 10% across the board?
All areas? First I've heard. Or are you just talking India and TTS?
I have seen info here come true last year
3282 why are you here if u don't want to get info
Are we doing taxi cabs tomorrow again?
And ER vehicles? And Security Guards. Guys, give me an f-ing break.
@3283 - Where are located?
Just asking...
Tomorrow (Wednesday) is the day
Cuts everywhere at hq, India, TSS. Expect 10% of your coworkers to be gone tomorrow. Security guards are all lined up to walk people out.
Guys, let's estimate - how many of us are reading this site?
What are your thoughts, I have a feeling that not more than 10 people are posting here. Maybe 50 more are lurking. Fairly small audience... Very narrow POV...
PMCOE and BTT shall be on the receiving end...
Re org announcement on Thursday
Strategy may be different
This time the operational aspect may be different ...rooms /cabs approach may get changed to something else..
Just wait and see
Here's an idea...just wait and see what happens tomorrow. None of has control over it anyway.
What areas at HQ
Let's see a list of all impacted areas. And no "everywhere" or "all"...I want to see specifics. We went through the exact same thing last week and nothing happened!!!
@3268 - Conf Rooms
Can you try to book a conf room, you should get a 'already booked response' from Exchange and it should tell you who has it booked (sometimes it tells you the meeting subject as well) - let us know if it's interesting...
All signs point to 1/22
Conference rooms have already been blocked off for it and meetings are being rescheduled last minute to free up the rooms. I've heard tomorrow is the day from a couple reliable sources as well. Do I hope it's wrong? Of course, but something is coming... — read more

Layoffs tomorrow at HQ in Mpls.
3243
Eyes wide shut I see...
No Layoffs

Target India Layoffs
Who got affected back in November, I heard 50 people were let go... True?
Changes made.
The .com space was cut by about 40% across the board business and technology. Onshore BAs became PMs to give them the authority they were already exercising but they also continued to perform Business Analysis work. The reason I acted as a PM is... — read more

Promotion and performance are not related in most of the cases in Target India.People who have never done any proper delivery \ worked on proper projects are promoted. Many people who are delivering are still at same place. Don't wast time\energy in... — read more
MSP and .com
Anonymous3202 MSP only impacted Distribution, Transportation and Global Trade area. It is not related to the .com area at all.
Q to Anonymous3202
were you one of the BA's fired in Oct ? why were you trying to manage projects ? we heard business said TTS BAs in MSP did nothing.
Response to 3194 PM
I used to work in target.com and the issue wasn't one of PM control but one of experience in managing projects with multiple cross team dependencies. Before you get to the point where additional authority would help you need to be able to proactively... — read more
what happened to 1/22
Mpls people update
Promoting their "own" people in .com
There are lot good people (execution expertise) but .com people get promoted more than rest of COE. People have become PPM to SDM in just 1.5 year with not much execution expertise ...bad performance evaluation approach ...not objective or based on... — read more
Anonymous3192 ....We heard Srini Vasan wanted to be the VP and was not happy Simantini was made his VP.
If KMGs, Directors and VPs are fighting for promotion and title why managers give gyaan to PG 11-15 when we ask for promotion. Out of no where they start reminding us about strategy, broad picture, opportunities, team work, blah blah blah. For... — read more
Hello Anonymous3194
