Thread regarding Target Corp. layoffs

What is considered a good review score?

I honestly have no idea. I've been with Target almost 10 years and have received a huge range of review scores, depending on the manager, from the mid 70's to the high 80's. It seems like they are handed out with no rhyme or reason, at least where I work. So if review score is being taken into consideration, how will that work and what is considered a "passing" score?

Review scores are all planned out by the beginning of October in my area, long before actual review time

It depends if your supervisor likes you or not. For example, you do okay work and your supervisor likes you, you'll get scores in the 80s and 90s, but if you do excellent work and your supervisor don't like you, she'll/he'll gives you a low 70s or worse puts you on corrective actions for tiniest transgressions like sneezing on the phone during a phone call with a customer. I had supervisor that just flat didn't like me because she/he just decided that she/he didn't, obviously, I've got a 70s from him/her..LOL...silly..

You realize some of us over 40 are halfway okay with those "computer thingies" as we Gen Xers grew up with those puppies.

We're just fine.

Gonna go fix my mall bangs now...

Review scores are based on AE.

Every manager is different. I have been there for about 15 yrs and have NEVER given anyone anything above 89. If you get a score in the 70s you are average, do most of your work without difficulties but still need coaching. Personally, I would be scared for anyone in the 70 or below range.

I've gotten review scores as high as 94. Two years after such a score, I was still coached out (i quit, which is of course what was wanted)

It's not about the review score per se. It's about the little quadrant, and where you get put on it. After a couple 6 month periods of being put in the bad square, you can finally be put into a corrective action process. Scores be damned. You'll know this is the design for you the moment a week after a reorg, you get a new unfamiliar boss and whoopsie daisy. Suddenly every undotted i or crossed T is cause for a verbal, and then a written warning. It's an incredibly designed ballet made to drive you to quit.

LMAO at this statement: "It's been my experience at Target that once you hit 40 years old your scores starts to tank until you get frustrated and leave." It had been my experience that 9/10 of those in the 40+ crowd refuse to learn how to use one of those computer thingys, and act offended that the world would ever change and ask them to adapt. And if a manager is over 40, that increases to 49/50. Then they drag their heels and pout that it is not fair.

Review scores were submitted weeks ago - they have very little to actually do with reviews. At least they were in my area - they were decided before Xmas.

If you are below 70, you might want to start looking into options outside of Target

80's are unheard of in my area. We're all in the mid to upper 70 range. If you're below 70 I'd think you were on your way out anyway, or should be.

Review score is how you did in your job. The layoffs are based on how relevant that job is.

You'd want to be in the 80s

Layoffs are not determined by review score. Some of our reviews haven't been written yet so imagine if we all got out of the blue low or high scores..then they did layoffs based on them? Lawsuit! It's been my experience at Target that once you hit 40 years old your scores starts to tank until you get frustrated and leave. Nothing to do with your knowledge and skill.

What's the typical % raise? This is my first review, and am curious what the typical raises are at Target.

I've never been under 81 or above 89. I think 80's are solid. I've heard 90's are once or twice a career kind of thing.

I believe under 70 is get ready to pack your bags.

76229: I honestly don't think anyone can answer this. Of the VPs that were let go, some of them had great performance coming from themselves and their team, it's just that their role didn't fit with the new strategy/ was able to be combined into another's workload. Disregard those that might try to act like they know...
