I think top management who is the culprit in screwing up the things when almost everything was going fine..They want to hide under new initiative. Guess what is the initiative..... initiative is.."Compare to Google & Amazon".

TTS is not an IT Company hence the current COE concept will not be useful and we need to be Business alined like Supply chain , .com

Dont compare Target / TTS to Amazon , google. To become Amazon, first leadership at the top has to change, they have to be technical hands on and technology aware and not initiative aware( Basically useless work or no work :))specially in Target... — read more

Anonymous2021...sorry, but your view on the domestic/US/HQ layoff is inconsistent with every other rumor that has been going around. The whole point of the "re-org" is to get the layoff payouts on 2013's books so Target can start 2014 fresh and lean... — read more

Hi Anonymous1964, Is 983 the overall# of layoffs in TTS(including MPLS & India) or is this just for India?

There are many HR in Target India who "Entertain" some Leaders by their Dress !!

Nobody can source the rumor, but it is reaching KMG. If they have info on it, they are keeping it to themselves. If this were truly a performance based layoff, KMG would need to be involved.

Is there any information from credible US-based HR resources around layoffs? Consensus rumor mill information seems to be that there will be a massive layoff in early to mid-January that is broad. Has anyone heard if it will be performance based?... — read more
