The approach is confirmed, optimize operation model will become new mantra for Target

Anonymous2919 - I am in build COE. It is obvious you are in test coe. cant stop laughing at your comment that test coe and TCS does all the work. Most of the test coe folks are busy on facebook posting inspirational stuff. Target need to retain only... — read more 

Which coe you belong to ,tell us and let us believe at least that CoE works in Target India :) :). PM Coe, PMC are sitting idel without project / portfolio. Testing coe, TCS do all the execution.Tech Coe, vendor developer are spreading every where... — read more 

Optimize business model , definitely lay off will also be part of optimization. That is nothing but a fancy way of packaging that. Those fools who still believe that there is no layoff, all the best to them.

Heard from my Manager that TTS has something called as "optimize operation model" as some TTS strategy for 2014 which maps to some Target Business goals

He never mentioned anything on Layoff but mentioned on TTS business goals mapping to Strategy for 2014 will be shared in few weeks.

I have been reading so many posts, frustrations, blame leaders, teams, vendors etc. Why dont you all just update your resume and go look for a job ? have you all become way too comfortable in Target doing nothing (or little) for last few months... — read more 

... that there were no posts during Target India hours? No mentions of Navneet's talk? Strange.

Nothing is off the books for 2014 if you do layoffs now. Those people will stay on the books for some time due to severance packages, vacation accrued, and health insurance. It's fine to say "Well maybe it's because of this ...." but why does... — read more 

It's "You're stupid"...

That's the dumbest thing I have heard so far

It will happen in the next two weeks so the company can: 1) get expense off of the books by end of the fiscal year 2) spike the stock price before the Q4 earnings come out

Really? You have horrible taste. #lamesauce

To see grown up adults shi**ing their pants

the re-organization would happen. whether people would be layed off because of re-organization would have to be seen. My director has openly said 20% reduction in resources by 2014 on the projects cost. So if not enough projects for all then layoff... — read more 

Good one! LMAO

Target admins have voted to delay the move to TNC. Due to this, they will be dismantling the newly built wings and selling off the scrap for 35 cents per pound.

Their cafeteria is only going to server hot dogs, rice and marshmallow creams for lunch.

Your stupid

Really? Cafeteria to order less food in 2014. Hmm. Perhaps because the first wave of TTS is moving to TNC starting in February? C'mon, please connect the dots and exercise some critical thinking before posting crap like this. Thank you.

To those who post "get back to work"...in order to even get to this site, you yourselves have googled "Target layoffs" or similar. lol.

I left Target recently, FRS to be a little more specific. At the time there was a rumor that the cafeteria DT was told not to order as much food to start off 2014 b/c there would be less TM in the building at some point soon. I know that's not very... — read more 

If you have work dont worry about layoffs. If you dont, ask your manager for work. If he/she doesnt give you any you are better off finding another job anyways. Either way stop whining, complaining and behaving like a bunch of losers. Just in case... — read more

While your generalities are true, your title is very specific (end of the month). I would challenge posters to at least indicate what kind of reliable source you have - HR, Director or above, or KMG/below. You should be able to do that without... — read more 

But which areas are being laid off? Are we sticking with TTS & Target India, as rumored all along or are there more departments involved? Is it 10% across the board? Are any areas safe? Not that I'll believe you. Just interested in what the so-called... — read more 

I'm not sure if anyone is denying layoffs will happen. We wouldn't be on this site if we were that confident and secure about our jobs. And this coming from the guy who wrote the "Someday" post. The way that the rumors were being conveyed on and off... — read more 

Any one of you who does not believe layoffs are a high likelihood is in total, utter denial right now. The performance of the company's traditional bricks and mortar business is being absolutely crushed by the competition...and now on top of that it... — read more

This is the right approach. Be aware of facts and do not try to extrapolate them into a specific imaginary when and how. Draw your own conclusions. It's hard to do, but you need to tune out the 99% of posts on here that are full of sh!t.

Well, there is at least four 'not in the right mind' people from target who liked it. Also, if you just Google it there is over a hundred likes for this crappy site as well http://www.google.com/search?q="thelayoff.com"+site%3Afacebook.com - finally... — read more
