Thread regarding Target Corp. layoffs

What is next

This is the easy cut, the next phase will be in tech. Target plans to outsource all of tech, engineering, and security, what does not get moved to India will be outsourced to a contract here in the US. So this is just the start, pretty much everyone in IT in MN will eventually loos their jobs.

"there are 164 jobs, with over 125 of those being in Karnataka"
@aa Wow, shocking, after they closed 800 US job openings, there aren't many US job openings. Who would've thunk it?

Hahaha, if you go to Corporate Careers, there are 164 jobs, with over 125 of those being in Karnataka. They're literally going to move everything except Fiddelke himself to India eventually.

@OP Based on the fact that over 200 people were axed in India, I don't think they will off-shore everything. There are a lot of good reasons to keep a majority of tech in the US.

Sorry but this narrative just is not true... I've been with tech a long time and they have never made deep cuts and leadership is well aware how ineffective it is to ship any sort of job that requires critical thinking to TI.

There clearly will be a next. Fiddelke takes office in January? They will absolutely ship IT jobs to India.

So right back to where we were 20 years ago? Apparently no one ever learns anything.

@OP This narrative is 20 years old yet there are still jobs here.

There will always be a prescience in TII, that's why it's there, and has been there for 20 years. There is no "next".
