Thread regarding Target Corp. layoffs

Planning to give my notice

I can’t live in fear till January and work like a dog every day. Sick and tired of training TII knowing that they will take my job.

We can’t f*cking accelerate if half my team including some high performers are laid off (probably because they were remote)

If I make it beyond April, there is no way I will get more than 50% of bonus and 2% hike in salary.

And this is not the Target I know for the last 15 years. We neither caring, nor growing and definitely not winning. Our culture is a sham.

Most of these people were let go

The finance guy will be working us to our bones and then lay us off after peak.

Distribution will be hit next. If pieces of your workload have been moved to TII, start looking and putting out feelers. This is EXACTLY what happened in 2014.

Don’t be dramatic and irrational. You’re not going to quit, put your big boy pants on.

If you don’t have a job lined up, do not quit. The job market is horrific. At least you get severance if there is another layoff. Don’t be stupid.

@a4 "voluntary layoff" is called quitting, they are always available and don't come with any benefits.

Later. This isn’t an airport. No need to announce your departure.

If you quit, you get nothing. No severance, no unemployment, no nothing. It's now layoff season, and you'll be out of a job during the holidays.

Don't do it. Just quiet quit. They can't MAKE you work like mad. Do your work, then go home. What can they do... fire you for showing up for work?

Just phone it in, and justify it through your own mental health. It's not like you'll be alone.

Absolutely a second wave of layoffs after new year. These cuts were heavy in non-store facing areas. Once the season wraps up they will begin closing stores and gutting store-centric corporate roles. This is how it always plays out.

They just needed to cut staff before end of year to secure more debt/bond conditions.

@OP is Target offering voluntary lay offs? I feel the same way and want to get out, but want the severance package so I can figure out my next career move without financial stress
