This is incredibly disrespectful to those affected. Show some decency, people.

You WILL be happier without Target. It may take a long time but it will happen.
Who in merch got let go? I used to work here and moved out last year and man am I happy i did that. I liked the ppl but not the culture
So if there are no names and roles what are we doing here.......we all know there are layoffs coming ...ppl just don't act holier than thou ..pretty sure when these Vp directors suddenly have new jobs on LinkedIn or werever ppl will know what happ!
Anonymous77691 - let me guess, douchey 22 year old still living at home w/ no bills?
@Anonymous77653 - great, go for it. I sincerely hope you don't get laid off, but if you do I hope that people are compassionate enough to leave your personal info off a site that is obviously being viewed by thousands of people.
And to Anonymous77654 - guaranteed there are SVP/Director's on this site. Their pay grade doesn't make them any less of a human being than you.
Anon638...oh please! We are all on this board for a reason! To find out information because the company we work for clearly doesn't care to share. Because these are leaders, what's the big deal about knowing names! Leaders are supposed to be known! It's informative information. No one is talking crap in here about those that got let go.
I apologize, I posted a name only because people were complaining that the info on here was too vague and people weren't giving enough detail. I tried but couldn't delete once it's posted. Won't do it again.
Oh shit! John and Jane doe are let go ? Fudge. How talented and nice people. Crazy world.
Hey Brian if you want to cut how about cutting hr?what exactly is it they do other than try to find ways to fire people?
You wouldn't be here if it wasn't anonymous I am sure the directors,vp are not on this forum
We can post names if we want to. Others have a right to know.

Here's a thought - why do the people posting get to remain anonymous? if you are fine posting names out there, why do you expose yourselves? after all, people are just curious, right?
why is it any of YOUR business the actual names of the people that get laid off? There goes that damn target entitlement attitude. Stop! and before name calling begins, YES i do work at Target and am just as scared and nervous as the rest of you.
Gregg steinhaffeul just got the ax.had a truck pull his yacht up to hq and pick him up.
exactly the people on the lower end of the totem pole are not going to get the 1 yr or 6 month severence package...they are just curious...no one is trying to be disrespectful.
Some of you need to chill! Like someone already mentioned we don't get communication on who is no longer here especially those in high positions. It would be nice to know. They were our "leaders" right? So chill!
No one is going to list names of regular team members John and Jane Doe!
The posts with names are directors and vp and above. I don't see what the big deal is. It's informative information.
I think people are just curious - geez. It's not like we get a formal announcement of all the changes. The site is intended to play that intermediary role, based on the lack of formal information we are receiving. I really don't believe anybody is doing it to be disrespectful.

just one example of names.... really hypocrites and to the good samaritan who called on the admin... the whole idea of this site is identify potential ppl with the areas cos there is a reason the leadership in some areas were let go!!
what hypocrites so many posts with names...suddenly ppl are suddenly sensitive cos they think their names will show up...
Some people that represented the worst of the worst are harvesting what they seeded all these years. Some of the arrogants need to be singled out, and hopefully blocked for future opportunities before they start over spreading like cancer.
that thread got removed
I just wrote to the admins about usage of personal names
