@bv to be quite honest, after the announcement yesterday I didn’t have much energy to do any work and my form of entertainment was keeping up to date with the #yelling Slack.

what is #yelling ? An internal chat or something?
Stop posting in #yelling
Some of y’all are really playing with fire. Sometimes silence is golden, quite a few people have posted themselves out of a job today, don’t become one of them.
@an Here is the policy Target would probably cite on why this is a fireable offense: a list of every TM across Target who was laid off likely falls under Confidential data classification, because it has giant ramifications on Target's strategy and operations. Also, the plan today was that affected teams would have a connect with their leader in the afternoon to go over changes. You could theoretically have used that AD group to find out that your leader was laid off before the official announcement.
I'm not sure there would have been big consequences if the backdoor way to access the list had been shared in a DM, but posting it in a public Slack channel with 3,500 people in it was definitely not respecting the relatively obvious Infosec classification of the information. It would be like posting a word doc that you found with a bunch of 16-digit numbers into #yelling without stopping to think that they might be credit card numbers.
@aq in the #yelling Slack channel someone posted a way to access the list names of the people who were impacted. It wasn’t straight up names posted on Slack but a method to find it…I saw it but didn’t understand. :|
The post was quickly taken down and the original poster issued a word of warning but, literally, within an hour, they were terminated.
Let this be a lesson: ANYTHING you do or say on ANY corporation's assets is company turf. I think a lot of the #yelling regular crew is insane for being so vocal about Target in a public channel while using a Target computer, even before this round of layoffs. It's awful opsec. They are always watching. Probably putting you on "unregretted attrition" lists where you get shorted on promotions, raises and eventually PIPed. Get the phone number of a coworker you like and TEXT them if you have organization-level discontent.

What the he-l happened?
Is everyone stupid? Don’t post confidential info on public slack channels. And don’t do it here.
Stop posting on #yelling, they already fired someone.
This company laid of 1000 people before the holidays, don’t give them a reason to add you to the list (and they won’t owe you severance, either!)
List of people impacted
There's a list of US people impacted, does anyone know of a list for global employees? #yelling says there are people in TII who were laid off so I was hoping there'd be a list of global employees impacted. Or does anyone know names of specific TII people impacted?
If you’re on the #yelling channel probably a lot of times. Lol
If only we could see this much honesty in the #yelling channel in slack. Lol Hope Target sees this. Seems like many of us feel strongly about this.
Is there a better water cooler forum than Slack?
The Target Reddit is for store team members. People seem way too comfortable talking sh-t on #yelling. No one posts on Blind. Where can we talk?
#YELLING RIP
Even if they do. Who cares. Isn’t much worse than internal slack channels. Just look at #yelling - some of it is proper crazy - and it isn’t even anonymous. Or any ama channel.
