Managers reference layoff site in meetings

I've been in a couple meetings late last week and management Sr director, ADs, SMs all mentioning the site as if our fear isn't valid. Basically they all were saying everything here is fake and no one really knows. Just strange that higher-ups mentioned the site by name and wanted to discredit everything on here. Who's know what is true on this site but for leadership to acknowledge it shows even they know some layoffs are coming.


Any RIF induced sueys ?

With so many long term people who have been there 20+ years getting axed, have there been any RIF induced sueys that anyone has heard of??

I reached out to someone who was still employed there just to see what has been going on but didn’t directly ask about any RIF, it’s been complete radio silence which is kind of unusual for this person. This is really hard for some people so I have really no idea how to approach people about these situations.

It’s almost exactly like not knowing what to say to people who are going through mourning and just had a loved one die or something similar to that, actually maybe even worse???

I always think back to that guy at Dell 2 years ago in Texas, he had been there over 20 years and then got the RIF.

He went right out to the Dell parking lot and said:

“ “this is all I know”…….”

Any tips on keeping the sueys at bay for our fellow colleagues who are going through it right now??


🚨 Rick Gomez & Jill Sando OUT? AI Says YES… But Is It TRUE? 👀

Word on the digital street: AI results are flagging Rick Gomez and Jill Sando as “OUT.”

NO official word yet since Fiddelke’s email, but AI whispers are blowing up across threads. If REAL, this could SHAKE Owned Brands, leadership, and strategy to the core.

Some say RUMOR, some say LEAK, some say REALITY. Either way, the chatter won’t die.

Who’s got insider intel, hints, or even half-confirmed whispers? SPILL IT ALREADY — we’re all ears ☕️


A Year Ago, They Promised Fair Pay. Now, They’re Cutting People.

Before Edward Jones started handing out pink slips and demotions like candy, there was supposed to be a real conversation about pay. Leadership told us they were reviewing pay grades firmwide and that the process would take about a year.

Instead of following through, they turned around and started firing people. Just empty smiles and “tough decisions.” And now everyone seems to have forgotten the original issue. We’re still the lowest paid people in the entire finance sector. That’s the part they don’t talk about in the press releases.

They didn’t fix the pay ranges. They buried it under layoffs, reorgs, and canned speeches about “efficiency.” The truth is simple: this company had a choice between paying its people fairly or protecting its executive bonuses. And they made their choice loud and clear.

How can these people sleep at night?


The best we can do is show up for one another

About a decade ago I was cut together with may dear coleagues - us who were affected found real help from the industry... from networking to resume sharing to landing great next roles... Because there were many good people who stayed inside Target, many of those teammates eventually came back... If you are cut, use your network and move on... If you are not cut, be that network and help... The best we can do is show up for one another.


Laid off and, strangely enough, relieved

It’s a bad feeling, and it definitely shakes you up. Yet I mostly just feel relieved. I didn’t like the job, and I certainly didn’t like the company or its ways. I’d already started looking into other options a while ago, hoping something better might come along. Now there’s an opportunity on the table. Nothing certain yet, but it looks promising. It may or may not work out, so wish me luck. Maybe this layoff will actually turn into something good.


SO… LAYOFFS hit Tuesday. HR says my final day is HALLOWEEN. 🎃 That’s right — my job literally ghosted me.

Now I need a COSTUME that fits the VIBE: something between “Corporate Casual” and “Emotional Damage.” Otherwise, I need a costume that says “spooky, broke, and still pretending to care.” 👻🎯

Ideas so far:
• 404: Job Not Found
• Spirit Halloween Employee
• A Target logo bleeding out
• “Ghost of Corporate Past”
• Red shirt + name tag: “Ex-Targeted Employee”
• A walking Clearance Tag

It’s Friday, I’m still here, but mentally I’ve clocked out! 🧠💀 Hit me with your best ideas before I show up in a box labeled SEVERANCE PACKAGE.

Anxious

This is my first time going through a potential layoff, and I’m really struggling with the uncertainty. Ever since we heard the news , I’ve been anxious nonstop — it’s hard to , join calls, or think about much else.

How are you coping or distracting yourself ?


How many of each level 4-9 are there at HQ?

Just curious if anyone has rough numbers on how many people are in each level from 4 to 9 at headquarters. I imagine some pyramids are heavier in 4s than others and so on.

If sources are saying 1000 actual people will be cut plus roughly 800 open roles, and levels 6-8 will be most impacted, how many 6 to 8s are there to even be cut in the first place?
